Huffton Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 He's driving it! http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2545649,00.html
Gemmel Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 That interview is on Saints player and worth a listen. Genuine emotion, when he talks about understanding how much it means. Intresting they have a "great week of motivation lined up" - Which sounds as though it is different to normal and the bit about "Forget the league campaign" has me believing he is going to pull this one off- check back in on Sunday for a shape chnage that wins the game or some inspired subs. It's only Tuesday and the nerves. adredalin and exictment have already started to kick in.

Toomer Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 I had to go down there on business yesterday and the person I was going see is a ST holder at Notarf and yes I had a club tie on.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 Can somebody show him the 2005 video. We totally got overawed by the occasion. The players looked intimidated. This game will determine my Christmas.
carljack Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 I had to go down there on business yesterday and the person I was going see is a ST holder at Notarf and yes I had a club tie on. Hope you washed your hands when you got home!
LGTL Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 I don't think I've ever been this pumped for a game, ever. It's only Tuesday, but already any work I planned on doing this week has gone out the window.

Legod Third Coming Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted elsewhere in error, my thoughts below: I am 100% behind Nigel and his methods but I'm also a little concerned. Why is the game against Portsmouth to be approached any differently to any other away game? We won't win the league by winning one game. Our motivation to win should be 100% game in and game out. All I can see by focusing on one game in this way, is that the players come on the pitch over-pumped, one is sent off within minutes (my money is on Morgan) and we watch another three points away from home slip away... We have the class and capability to rise above this tribal b o ll o x and deliver three points. Plain, simple, straightforward. We can crow about it afterwards to our hearts content, but if we lose this (a game we have now made a primary focus), how does that stand us any stead for future away games that we have now rendered 'less important'... I hope he is purely playing to the crowd with this one and that, in fact, we're approaching this game exactly the same as all other games!!
Mr saint Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 It's not showing on Saints Player...? It's his post-match interview v Blackpool.
Saint dyer Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 It's the post match Blackpool interview mate

Its just that this one has more importance to the fans. As to the rest - we haven't been great on our travels so I expect him to focus a little more on the how do we win away games - again it just so happens that its against that lot down the road.

I hope he is purely playing to the crowd with this one and that, in fact, we're approaching this game exactly the same as all other games!! I actually agree. Same goes for his post-match interview on Sat, the interviewer for Saints player's approach to questioning Lambert & Adkins, fans constantly sending messages to players on twitter telling them how important a win would be, fans at games constantly singing that annoying 'We're coming for you' song at games. Don't need it. This game has enough hype as it is, the players know its a big one, we don't need to build it up anymore.

Dangerous mind game to play IMO.
Turkish Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 Please give it a rest with "on the bus" references FFS. It's f*cking boring and been done to death. PS you dont just think he's telling you what you want to hear do you? If he said "it's just another game" etc and then we play sh*t you'll all be moaning that he didnt understand the importance of it.
Toadhall Saint Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 Just listened to it - I think Turkish has it right TBH - "If he said "it's just another game" etc and then we play sh*t you'll all be moaning that he didnt understand the importance of it."
Saint Billy Posted 13 December, 2011 Posted 13 December, 2011 I had to go down there on business yesterday and the person I was going see is a ST holder at Notarf and yes I had a club tie on. Did you have to have the tie surgically removed?

PS you dont just think he's telling you what you want to hear do you? If he said "it's just another game" etc and then we play sh*t you'll all be moaning that he didnt understand the importance of it. That's why I said I hope he playing to the crowd and not actually taking any different approach. Although most fans are grown ups, they do understand that we're in this league to win it and losing to the skates would simply be the same as Doncaster - three points dropped!! If we lose twice to Pompey and get promoted as Champions, I won't give a toss. Maybe it will give them a little satisfaction in Carey Street as their club is wound up...
