Saint Charlie Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 (edited) He came out with this rubbish today: "The positivity of being positive, is so positive." Nigel Adkins, Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Which classics do you remember from his time at Saints? I remember "pressure makes diamonds" with a ludicrously cheesy grin towards the camara. Top man.

Griffo Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 Legend. Was wondering the other day, didn't someone get a book together of messages to give to him? Did he get that in the end?
Saint Charlie Posted 28 October, 2014 Author Posted 28 October, 2014 I think he mentioned once in an interview that he had. Shame to see him struggling and not really appreciated at Reading. Think he could have benefitted from a bit more time out the game after leaving us. Reciting that "Man in the Glass" poem was genius.
Cascadia Saint Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 Draw a blue line under everybody on the bus, together as one.

davefoggy Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 I literally love both Nigels. Adkins and Pearson. Both top guys in my book
Saint-Armstrong Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 Q: Best name on your phone? Nige: Nokia
Turkish Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 Top bloke, knew he was on borrowed time well before this moment, but knew the problem wasn't him.

Mowgli Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 Control the controllables - still use it myself
sadoldgit Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 Did a brilliant job for us and I hope he gets a decent job elsewhere because he is better than Reading.
cellone Posted 28 October, 2014 Posted 28 October, 2014 I admit I used an Adkinism in a Valentine card to Treacle. It read I love you, simple as that.
austsaint Posted 29 October, 2014 Posted 29 October, 2014 Always thought.."don't get too high when you win or too low when you lose"...was a wise catch-cry from Nigel. Hope something better than Reading comes up for him.
KingdomCome Posted 29 October, 2014 Posted 29 October, 2014 Not really an Adkinism but what he said when the camera was on him in the tunnel after the 4-0 Coventry game will always stick in my memory (well, thinking about it now, I can't remember word for word). You could tell he already knew he was out the door as soon as a replacement could be put in place...shame really.
