It is when you’re in the Premier League playing against some of the fittest players on the planet who’ve got 10 years on you.

You wouldn't get an argument from me but Watford fans claim that's Troy Deeney.

I remember being at Northampton when he made his debut for us as a late sub, and being immediately impressed by him. Great signing by Wilkins, Hinshelwood, Knight - and especially Barry Lloyd! http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/2031995.Revealed__How_Albion_tracked_Murray/
Plus in a 4-5-1, he's often battling a defence on his own (e.g. vs ManU) and doing a bloody good job of it.
He's decent but he's no Murray. World he have scored that goal v Man United? No. FACT.
Also he looks like a reassembled potato but that's not his fault.

Fulham fans didn't seem to appreciate his qualities 
..but then would we think the same if he was playing for Fulham..they clearly aren't PL ready

A superfit 27 year old is very likely to be faster than a superfit 34 year old though.

You usually get the odd balanced post, not there though. I’d be more worried if I were them in how many times my keeper and full backs passed it to the opposition when under no pressure...
And I suppose Mitrovic doesn’t employ any of the Murray-crafts

I'm 34 and the fittest I've ever been. Motivated by Bruno and Murray, and not allowing excuses for yourself, it's amazing what you can do.
I'm 47, fitter than I was 10 years ago and still have hair, but with the added advantage of not giving a flying ****.

All footballers will be fitter now than they were 20 to 30 years ago, however age and injuries will still take their toll on a player, the body will slow down, they will lose a yard or two of pace etc. Younger players will still beat older players for fitness.
Murray appears to be going in reverse, he appears to be fitter and quicker than at any point previous in his career. Lots of players struggle to come back from a cruciate ligament injury and perform to the level they were before. Murray again has come back stronger. Maybe Palace made him bionic or something while treating that injury.
Probably helps not having hernia trouble these days...
I was there however, and it was heartbreaking watching him give up on Delph (who'd have thought he'd become a PL winning LB in this City team) with a whimper. Unforgivable at the time (without the explanation) but really he should have never been playing with an injury like that.
Reassembled, you say?

Blimey, they seem awfully precious.
"Two nil and you f*cked it up" was never chanted louder. Simply a bunch of two points lost bad losers.
