Fulham captain Danny Murphy accuses Wolves in dirty play row
Friday 8th October 2010, 11:34AM BST.
Wolves were today accused of being too ‘pumped up’ as the row over their ‘dirty’ tag rumbled on.
Fulham captain Danny Murphy believes the approach of Wolves, Blackburn and Stoke means their players are more likely to make controversial challenges.
Wolves are again under the spotlight after Karl Henry was sent off for a reckless lunge on Wigan’s Jordi Gomez last Saturday.
“You get managers sending their teams out to stop other sides playing, which is happening more and more – the Stokes, Blackburns, Wolves,” said Murphy.
“If you have a manager in control of the team and doesn’t allow these type of things, you’re going to have a more disciplined team.
“They can say it’s effective and they’ve got to win games but the fact is their players are so pumped up, there’s inevitably going to be problems.
Murphy’s comments follow Fulham’s unfortunate experiences against the three clubs, including Bobby Zamora broke his leg following an innocuous challenge with Henry.
Wolves were considering a response to the criticism.

I take it that the photo above is of a Fulham player tackling Van Damme, maybe thats the one that injured him?
Murphy is just a mouthy idiotic moron, his problem now is that he has wound up the players of those teams so it will be interesting to see how they approach the match’s when they next play Fulham?
