Fulham captain Danny Murphy accuses Wolves in dirty play row

Wolves were today accused of being too 'pumped up' as the row over their 'dirty' tag rumbled on.

Fulham captain Danny Murphy believes the approach of Wolves, Blackburn and Stoke means their players are more likely to make controversial challenges.

Wolves are again under the spotlight after Karl Henry was sent off for a reckless lunge on Wigan's Jordi Gomez last Saturday.

"You get managers sending their teams out to stop other sides playing, which is happening more and more - the Stokes, Blackburns, Wolves," said Murphy.

"If you have a manager in control of the team and doesn't allow these type of things, you're going to have a more disciplined team.

"They can say it's effective and they've got to win games but the fact is their players are so pumped up, there's inevitably going to be problems.

Murphy's comments follow Fulham's unfortunate experiences against the three clubs, including Bobby Zamora broke his leg following an innocuous challenge with Henry.

Wolves were considering a response to the criticism.
