Glenn Murray

[BASINGSTOKESEAGULL]

Need murray to play tomorrow, on his day he is class, and normally performs well on the big stage, him and wood up top would be ideal.

 

[Hungry Joe]

If Gus ever leaves sexy Glenn out in favour of Barnes again I'm giving up on the season.

Blimey, unlike you to overreact.

Maybe, but it's obvious to a headless man in a wheelchair that Murray is the key man upfront. It doesn't matter who's scoring, it's just a case of us as a team only looking like scoring when he is on the pitch. To think of playing Barnes and/or Wood ahead of him is just crazy.

I agree............but Gus is a head-mental of the highest order (def Wood and Murray for me tomorrow, think Woody is a Goody, imagine the touches between them for 90 minutes, I've got wood just thinking about it).

 

[Hungry Joe]

Indeed Badger, indeed. I ADORE the crazy fool. That episode where he tried to grab the ball from a Rovers player was white coat comedy genius.

 

[hola gus]

Did anyone else see the moment at Burgess Hill where he got leathered square in the mowt by a defender's boot, fell to the floor, lay prone for ten seconds in silence, said "fook" once, then got up and got on with it?

That was when I fell in love with him.

The moment i met Murray was in Oceana when we just escaped relegation under Slade, and there he was at the Bar grafting some bird..... when a very drunk hola gus walked up for chat about all things Albion. What he should've said is 'look pi$s off mate im trying to get laid here'. But no, the man had a good 15 min chat with me before i realised i was being a nause and sloped off.
That was the day I fell in love with Glen Murray!

'The Day I Fell in Love with Glenn Murray' should be a thread of it's own, and possibly a film.

Why all the panic ? I fully expect Muzza and Wood to be in the starting line up with Barnesy on the bench at St Marys

Much respect for keeping track of that, I can't believe his average rating at Hartlepool though. He won EVERYTHING in the air, he just had noone feeding off him.

Not so much panic but I have to say i'm a bit worried we haven't sorted out a new contract for someone I would concider to be a key player.

It wont be as good as the book.

Muzza is going to be in exactly the same position as Fozzy , nothing will be sorted until the end of the season.

I'm not sure that will definitely be the case. Murray is a different kettle of fish to Forster, presumably.

Forster had little to no re sale value due to his age while Murray has real value and we could end up losing him unless we tie it up. Presuming he wants to stay which lets face it has never been nailed on ever since he signed.

The away games always tend to have fewer ratings, and that week only 3 people gave ratings, he got two 6's and a 5.

That's a real shame, he didn't deserve a 5 for that game. He was our best player by a country mile. I'm going to look for that ratings thread and see who is responsible for such stupid ratings. Clearly, people who just don't like the man.
