Murphy: Managers to blame for dangerous play

Fulham captain Danny Murphy has pointed the finger of blame for the rash of dangerous tackles at the managers of Stoke, Wolves and Blackburn for sending out their players too pumped up.

Bobby Zamora, the Fulham striker, suffered a broken leg in a challenge by Wolves’ Karl Henry and the same player was fined two weeks’ wages by his club after another savage tackle on Wigan’s Jordi Gomez.
