Murray "The Brighton/Palace rivalry was not one I knew about"

[leigull]

According to Andy Naylor, when asked for a piece for a Palace Programme, Glenn named Eric Cantona as one of his choices for a fantasy dinner guest. Bet that went down well

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

He was made fully aware of the rivalry by a scum-supporting friend of mine at a bbq during the world cup last summer. Maybe he really is that thick he forgot!

No Glenn Murray, no promotion.

So you are suggesting with that, that palace will get promoted while we have no chance?

What's his goal tally so far anyway, is he breaking scoring records for the pikey filth?

 

[Twinkle Toes]

He's a liar then. Well, either that or he was sticking Paint Thinners in his Orange Juice all the time he was (not very) cheerfully receiving the Albion coin.

I suspect El Pres was speaking in past tense.

Would we have been promoted last season without his goals?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

So when he went to away games and the crowd randomly sung 'stand up if you hate Palace', what did he think it was about?

Maybe he thought we were declaring our hatred of Paris?

 

[El Presidente]

Impossible to say that. No Glenn Murray = a replacement striker

Chris Holroyd, Fran Sandaza, OGH perhaps..........

No, I am saying that without his goals last season, as well as his all round play, we would not have been promoted. We didn't win a game after he went off injured against Stains at Withdean. I suspect that we would not have lost that game either if he had played for 90 minutes, as his aerial cover when defending would have helped out at the back.

You are picking peripheral players whom were brought in (or had their contracts extended) as tertiary strikers. Hoskins and CM-S are tantamount to a different breed and I'm pretty certain that Gus knows that!

True, but personally I would say that had Murray been in contract he would cost about £1.5m (based on CMS being £2.5m). He was IMO the third best striker in L1 last season, behind Lambert and CMS.

Last season we did not have £5mill to spend on players as we have done so far this season.

Glenn Murray = no promotion? What absolute rubbish.

Sure he had a good season, but you are insinuating we were a one man team, which is complete nonsense. If Elliott hadn't set Murray up etc. Etc....

Of course not, but that's really not a reason to miss the player this season in this higher division.
Past tense is where he now belongs imo.

murray is a thick northern twatt if he remained ignorant of our rivalry with palace , let's face it , he never embraced the club and i personally reckon his goose was cooked long before he eventually left , pretty sure gus would be kicking himself although he would never admit it.
