SO16_Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Latest one: "The wheels are in motion and everyone wants to be on the bus." One of my favourites so far. Who else is on board with this thread?
SaintBobby Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 On the bus, but keeping our feet on the floow
madruss Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 He also said "listen, it's as simple as this" for the first time. We're used to "simple as that", can we handle "simple as this"? I for one am on the bus!
miserableoldgit Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 We are all posting with smiles on our faces!
Kingsland Red Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 We are on the bus, say we are on the Bus !
jamesfp1 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I like to combine them.. Listen, its about winning games of football, its as simple as that. As long as were all playing with smiles on our faces we can only do well. Its about the group, not the eleven. We all want the same thing which is great, we're all pushing towards the same goal.
Shroppie Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 We are indeed all on the bus and long may the wheels go round and round. (That really is a song we need to adopt now to sing at every moment of success. It's perfect. Simple, humorous, lets NA know we love him)
SO16_Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Author Posted 12 January, 2011 Surely we should just sing 'the wheels on the bus'
Secret Site Agent Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Surely we should just sing 'the wheels on the bus' Shouldn't that be 'The Saints on the bus go up the league,up the league, up the league'.
Ken Tone Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Surely we should just sing 'the wheels on the bus' Absolutely. 20-30 thousand people all singing "the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round" ... x2 then ... "all day long" as we get promoted. Brilliant. Perfect football song...... simple, repetitive, unique to Saints, funny, and completely incomprehensible to the opposition. Fits all the criteria!
Shroppie Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 How about Queen's "Bicycle Race"? ??? I thought the point was, it's a bus.
Shroppie Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Absolutely. 20-30 thousand people all singing "the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round" ... x2 then ... "all day long" as we get promoted. Brilliant. Perfect football song...... simple, repetitive, unique to Saints, funny, and completely incomprehensible to the opposition. Fits all the criteria! Agreed. Don't change the words. Also totally incomprehensible to most commentators, which is excellent.
Danish Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 ??? I thought the point was, it's a bus. See end of this thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?27507-Jason-Puncheon Would make it even more absurd, incomprehensible and unique to Saints.
Shroppie Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 See end of this thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?27507-Jason-Puncheon Would make it even more absurd, incomprehensible and unique to Saints. See your point but, with respect, that's just a bit too surreal even for me, and I'm totally surreal. So I prefer the wheels on the bus going round and round. Of course, we'll have to teach it to fans not old enough to have children.
georgeweahscousin Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I am actually disappointed he doesn't refer to himself in the third person anymore. He is the second special one. The special two.
Saint Charlie Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 He is lucky that he has an honest and hardworking group of professional footballers.
Shroppie Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 The beauty of it is that he is not consistently predictable. In any one interview he will find a new favourite phrase and repeat it ad infinitum, but he seems to find a new one each time. It really makes things exciting.
Greenridge Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 As long as it's not the bus from Speed I'm on it!
SoccerMom Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 There was a drizzle, so it made for slick football. Went almost unnoticed on here, but it did make me chuckle. I don't think he knew how clever it was.
Paul75 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Stand up if your on The Bus...................................
St_Tel49 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 We are on the bus, say we are on the Bus ! And to think that someone wanted to put Guly in a Taxi instead
Colbury Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 We are on the bus, say we are on the Bus ! That's quality better than singing wheels on the bus IMO.
Scudamore Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Isn't it strange how five wins on the bounce can turn these interviews from being annoying and not media savvy into loveable Adkinisms?! I like it when he starts a sentence with "listen" because it makes me listen a little bit more intently...
Brussels Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I would like to see a huge banner at St,Mary's from the fans in the Northam that reads "We are all in the building" and another in the Chapel that says "Its as simple as that". Perhaps the Kingsland can have one that says "Its about winning games of football" and the Corporates in the Itchen can have one that says "We (didn't) come on the bus!"
Saintandy666 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Ahhh yes, the Guly 'top drawer' interview. He said top drawer a ridiculous amount of times!!!!
Ken Tone Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I would like to see a huge banner at St,Mary's from the fans in the Northam that reads "We are all in the building" and another in the Chapel that says "Its as simple as that".

Greenridge Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Not specific to Adkins but anyone notice the trend of the last couple of years of Managers referring to their Football Club, not just the Club as it used to be. Must be the fashion I guess. Anyway, I'm off to catch the bus before it leaves without me

Macey_J2 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 I liked his "you've gota believe to achieve" the other week

Actually on second thoughts, even better if sung between stands instead of 'we are the northam over here' etc. But maybe we'll just have to settle for everyone singing "We're all in the buil-ding. We're all in the buil-ding. La la laa. La la laa" to the tune of "let's all have a conga"..... in between verses of the 'wheels on the bus' of course.
The Cat Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 It's very nice on the bus at the moment, but what you have to realise is that there's always improvements that can be made to the bus. One of the most impressive things for me was that even though driver was doing a good job and negotiating traffic and tight bends with ease all the way through to the end of his route, he still found time just before the end of it to reverse back and pick up a passenger who hadn't quite made it to their stop. The bus is a very happy place to be right now, but we can always make it happier. Add some more comfortable seats, a lick of paint, or make sure the floor is always clean and tidy. And if some passengers want to get off the bus, we'll have to make sure we strive to get some better passengers on to replace them.
lumpofshipperley Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 After the game against Brighton he described Gus Poyet & Mariccio Taricco as "having an absolute thrombo" during the game. Made me smile!
Crab Lungs Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 After the game against Brighton he described Gus Poyet & Mariccio Taricco as "having an absolute thrombo" during the game. Made me smile! Would definitely like to hear that interview again - priceless!

Crab Lungs Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 But what about the bus? Are you on it? ;-) Need to also mention about "being in the building"
The Cat Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 If the bus is parked inside the depot it's possible to be on the bus and in the building.
Danish Saint Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 If the bus is parked inside the depot it's possible to be on the bus and in the building. But then we're not going anywhere!? The bus needs to be moving! It's too easy getting on a parked bus!
mcjwills Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 If the bus is parked inside the depot it's possible to be on the bus and in the building. The bus is not parked in the depot its parked in front of our goal I'm definitely on the bus
BigShadow Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 The bus is not parked in the depot its parked in front of our goal I'm definitely on the bus The bus isn't parked anywhere.....it was clearly stated "the wheels are in motion". Which you would know if you were indeed 'on the bus'. Do keep up.
david in sweden Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 We are on the bus, say we are on the Bus ! and Nigel is the driver, (and he hasn't had to use much of NC treasure chest yet, either).
Scudamore Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 The bus isn't parked anywhere.....it was clearly stated "the wheels are in motion". Which you would know if you were indeed 'on the bus'. Do keep up. Perpetual motion bus is it then?
Scudamore Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 Hope it stops at some point...I need a p:ss...
The9 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 No-one's mentioned the various statements along the lines of "we're here as a football team to play a game of football on the football pitch in the football stadium".
beavis17 Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 'Striving to succeed' is another of his frequently used quotes
david in sweden Posted 12 January, 2011 Posted 12 January, 2011 No-one's mentioned the various statements along the lines of "we're here as a football team to play a game of football on the football pitch in the football stadium". I don'y know why people are taking the pizz, since he's come we've had one of the most successful spells in my 50 years fanship. Let him say whatever he wants, if Burley and his successors had half Nigel's enthusiasm we wouldn't be sitting in L1 today.
