Murphy: Guard of honour is a load of nonsense

[niallers]

If he just kept it to the fact he doesn't like it then fair enough, but to suggest that certain players in the squad who've just absolutely pissed the league aren't fit to lace de bruynes boots is both laughable and extremely disingenuous.

I bet Kevin de Bruyne laces his own boots. 

 

I bet Danny Murphy didn't. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

It's actually quite disrespectful too. Obviously you can't compare him to our defenders or attackers purely because he's a midfielder. He's likely a better overall player than some we've got in those positions, but they're clearly better players in the relevant position - defence and attack. 

 

So, the only really fair comparison regarding who isn't "fit to lace his boots" is our midfielders. And you have to look at that in context too. Is KDB a better player than our midfielders? Probably so. But, is he a better option in our system? Would he do a better job at getting back possession than Fabinho, Gini or Henderson? Likely not. Is he better at shielding the ball and turning tight space situations into attacks than Gini? I'm not sure. He's technically better than most of our midfield, particularly with the ball. But, our midfielders have attributes that suit our system and which De Bruyne falls short in by comparison. 

 

They're clearly fit to lace KDB's boots and Murphy is chatting shite.

I hadn’t realised Joanna Taylor had jibbed him in 2017. She must have got fed up of the handog look and negativity as well.

 

And for a Jürgen Klopp lookalike....

 

 

And he’s a Liverpool fan. Hahhaha.

Murphy never offers anything in conversation, except shite embarrassing opinions.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Even playing high school rugby we had to give the winning team a guard walking off the pitch. Its a basic sporting mark of respect. How a former processional can hold the opinion that its insincere isn't really giving his fellow professionals much credit. Sure there will be some bitterness or disappointment for the team handing over the torch, because they are human. Doesn't mean they don't have respect for our team and their achievements.

[sir roger]

Comes to something when we relieve City of their title and Guardiola is more gracious about it than Danny fucking Murphy.

[Crazy Dave]

The fucking cunt.

 

Was never good enough to be a regular at Liverpool. says everything that the only club that came in for him was fucking Charlton Athletic. He then rides Uncle Woys cock for a few years and helps get him the Liverpool job by telling Stevie and Carra how aaaaaaaamazing the cunt was to play for. The cunt. 

[Stickman]

I’m not arsed about a guard of honour although Murphy is and always will be a bitter prick, and one who should be doing cartwheels at the fact he’s got a cushy number being a pundit when I can honestly say he brings fuck all to the table in terms of tactics insight or wit.

[torahboy]

At his most comfortable in Roy Hodgson's Fulham crew. And ...... er, that's it.

[3 Stacks]

Murphy's an asshole. 

[lifetime fan]

He’s been a bitter cunt ever since Rafa told him he wasn’t good enough.

Shame it wasn’t a Rafa lookalike that would have pushed him over the edge

[Jordy Brouwer]

Danny Murphy is a bit of an enigma to me. He's clearly an intelligent bloke yet frequently talks shit. I don't know what to make of it. 

[TheHowieLama]

Well, he certainly knows what it is like to stand next to a fella whose boots he was not fit to lace.

[Jimmy Hills Chin]

I want a guard of honour but I want the city players to link hands and create an arch and our lads to skip down under the arch in pairs, wearing short shorts with 'Fuck Danny Murphy' written in gold on their arses. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

When the players receive their medals they should take individual photos and post them individually to Danny Murphy. They should include a pair of boot laces already tied with a note saying 'already tied being as you aren't worthy, you bitter shit bastard.' 

[aws]

Poundland Shearer. 

[Remmie]

Christ, what a reaction to a pretty innocuous comment. I think guards of honour are a load of bollocks as well, yes I'm mildly amused by Man City having to do it but when it happens it'll be massively underwhelming anyway. 

 

OK the De Bruyne comment was horse shit but pundits come out with stuff like this all the time. 

[Lee909]

Comparing the potato headed little Englander to English, European and World champion Origi. 

 

Have a word with yourself

As Steven Kelly said on Twitter, Gerrard had to clap for Kurt fucking Zouma

Danny Murphy buys his clothes from Greenwood’s Menswear.

Hmmmm... That's a lot of words for a cavernous echo chamber to deal with.

He's a fucking knobhead.

His shoulders are about half a foot across. That why kits always looked so baggy on him.
