The booing made we wonder if his cutting us was actually a blessing. He is quick and nimble but would he be an asset to us in our present Premier League situation?
Found it funny, albeit in a grim sort of way, when he beat Dunk to a ball in the air in midfield.
Funny... Someone behind me shouted "F*CK ME!!!.. he comes up to Dunk's ball bag and he's just beat him in the air!!"
Why boo him anyway? He's a professional footballer he will go where the money is. Clearly Norwich offered him more than us who would not take that? He had no affiliation to Brighton so naturally when Norwich offered him more he took it. Always baffles me that football fans can never see that players are just employees they don't (or rarely) are supporters of the club they play for.
The schadenfreude for the 5-0 home over Norwich was great. He felt they had a better chance of Premier League ambition, and they could offer more money. He proceeded to prance around the pitch - any time he could get out of Stephens' pocket - and achieve the square root of bugger all. His substitution was the cherry on the cake.
But we're past that now. Or at least we really should be.

Indeed was a great afternoon and one when many Brighton fans really started to believe. However still don't get booing him even back then. Most footballers are mercenaries and they will take the highest offer going. I had no issue with Murray going to Palace either, he ain't a Brighton fan he's merely an employee. If I was a footballer I wouldn't hesitate to leave a club in order to earn more money.
too small for Prem - move on

Because we are fans not customers
