Favourite NA Saying/Quote

[Saint Charlie]

 

 

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!

Haha - he says it all the time. When I was researching for my Jonno Quick thread I was drawn to this comment:

"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)

[Big Bad Bob]

"Its a consistency that you aim for; I think if you remain consistent, and you've been successful with being consistent, then that consistency will get you through to remain being successful.

 

[pingwing]

"together as one, we will keep learning and striving forwards because we are together as one"

[tajjuk]

I like how he seems to refer to the club as "in the building"

[Dig Dig]

"we’re in the Premier League and it’s a first experience for a lot of people and maybe we’ve got to have a bit more confidence about ourselves and a bit more belief about ourselves. To not look at the name on someone’s shirt or the team sheet and just go out and do what we do"

[doggface]

Winning mentality.

 

not heard that enough this season : /

[JustinR]

He used "love the bones of him" about Lambert when he dropped him. Not being pedantic or anything.

 

I've used "to be the best that we can be" a few times when training people at work, almost without thinking

[Hamilton Saint]

"It's all about winning games of football."

yeah he used it with Lallana ages ago - I think when he signed his new contract - then also with Lambert after West Ham. Bizarre saying.

Think the question was "if not football, what would you most like to be doing on a Saturday afternoon?"

[The Kraken]

Actually its "if you could do one thing this afternoon, what would it be".

"Look, we want to play through the thirds of the pitch, get on the football and pass the football. Thats the vision set out by the football club."

 

 

On Alex Chamberlain, "We need to nuture young Alex. He has a young skeletal body and is still growing."

Simple as that.

[Badger]

I like how he seems to refer to the club as "in the building"

 

or "on the bus".

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! Top man

[saints-cris]

"If they can keep up with us"

 

[Saint Fan CaM]

Control the controllables.

 

So, so true.

[Maggie May]

"Cannonball!!!" - before he jumped into the pool during Saints' pre-season tour this year.

[david in sweden]

"we’re in the Premier League........QUOTE]

 

You notice how good he is on PR for the sponsors because he always says the Barclays Premier League.....

[Saint Charlie]

"Kelvin's come in and done great, he was with us in League One, Championship goalie of the year, and is a real club stalwart."

[Saints Fan Dan]

He's a real inspiration our Nige, I have found myself using some of his Adkinisms in job interviews, this one being my favourite: "Its a consistency that you aim for; I think if you remain consistent, and you've been successful with being consistent, then that consistency will get you through to remain being successful."

 

If in doubt just think What Would Nigel Adkins Do?

[hamster]

Hamster, get out if my garden you ****ing weirdo.

[hamster]

Nigel - Have you a licence for that monkey?

 

Me - What monkey?

 

Nigel - That monkey on your shoulder, are you blind?!

 

Me - Yes.
