Saint Charlie Posted 7 December, 2012 Share Posted 7 December, 2012 (edited) For me its either: "I love his bones" (said re Lallana) or "A player can also be under-aroused" (used in the pre match presser yesterday) or anything where he adds "about himself" or "about ourselves" at the end ie "We have a consistency about ourselves" Also post a good pic of NA if you want to - he has lots of different expression!

Saint Charlie Posted 7 December, 2012 Author Share Posted 7 December, 2012 i caught myself saying "about ourselves" refering to our business for the first time ever last week. Ive been on a trial seperation from Nigel interviews ever since Haha - he says it all the time. When I was researching for my Jonno Quick thread I was drawn to this comment: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/9382981.stm "He's got a good physical presence about himself and we're delighted that he can come and join us." Nigel Adkins, Jan 2011 (he has a consistency about himself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used "to be the best that we can be" a few times when training people at work, almost without thinking yeah he used it with Lallana ages ago - I think when he signed his new contract - then also with Lambert after West Ham.

Saint Garrett Posted 8 December, 2012 Share Posted 8 December, 2012 Found myself using a few Adkinsisms last year when I had to write a piece of reflective writing for some uni work. Wrote it then when I read it back I noticed how many things I said that he would! Certainly runs off on you when you watch his interviews every week!
