Pulis slams 'selective' Murphy

Stoke boss Tony Pulis today accused Danny Murphy of picking on “easy targets” and suggested the Fulham captain may have deliberately shied away from criticising bigger clubs when speaking about dangerous tackling last week.

Murphy claimed players are being injured because certain managers are sending their teams out too fired up, with the Potters one of three clubs – along with Blackburn and Wolves – that he named specifically.
