Not fussed either way really....if he acknowledges the Covered End, I'll clap him...if he gives a rude gesture (a la Mike Salmon/Nicky Weaver) I'll give him stick.....if nothing happens, I won't do anything! Reactive rather than proactive!! Thought he was an excellent player for us until he fell foul of Curbs' Law...then he stropped off and departed for Spurs under a cloud, which wasn't helped by his wife's comments. One thought though.....Did he get near the England squad once he left us? No.....so our club did do something positive for your career Danny, which I don't believe you've shown any gratitude for.
The story I heard about a player's wife have influence was Danny Mills during a loan spell. She wanted him at home on Christmas day with her and the kids and she pressured him to find a way of getting sent off so he would be banned and bingo swore at the ref during that last saturday before Chriistmas game at home to Hull incurring him an instant 3 game ban. Shame because there will always be part of me that will grateful to Danny Mills for being part of the 1998 play-off winning team. But it wouldn't surprise me if Mrs Murphy also played a part in her husband's move away from Charlton.
Thought Curbs' treated him atrociously. He'd been head and shoulders above all our midfielders, still willing to show himself, then we went through a bad patch, and he was dropped and Curbs's stated to the media he'd been let done by some senior players performances. Murphy was the only one very definitely dropped.
Good luck to him, any player dropped, and given the chance to sign for a bigger and better club should take it. As for pace he never had any. Loved watching him and bear no grudges.
Add me to this, thought he was a great player, gutted when he left. Think Curbs comments, true or not, about premieres done him in with most fans. Can't say I saw him on many red carpets!
I dislike him intensely because as he left he slagged off the club but more importantly he slagged off the fans
If you play for a football team in front of paying customers and your wife has bad mouthed the opposing team then yep you would be fair game
I get the banter etc, and I didn't know she bad mouthed charlton. But I just think calling someone a whore who isn't even on the pitch crosses the line.
Not even worth the talk this chant. There are something appauling things said/sang at football matches, this wasn't one of them, its a laugh at his expense. I thought it was funny.
some of his passes today were superb. His knee was taped up and he walked most of the game. If you didn't see the quality still there you weren't watching the same game as me.

I'm in the booing will result in him scoring camp hence a stoney silence from me.
So you can't call the ref a wanka because you dont know him or me and therefore it's not right
The goalie can't be called names cos you don't know him
Give it a fuking rest it's football get on with it or find something else
on a sports pitch with banter? Would say it is yer. In a pub or on the street, no.
the hypocrisy? You're saying we cant call people names who arent on the pitch and/or we dont know. Then make that nice little assumption - ironic?
whoah. why is everyone so tetchy this evening?
I thought it was funny.
