Adkins has always been like this. He hasn't suddenly become this way now we're in the Premier league. He didn't suddenly become like this in the Championship either. It isn't smugness at all you don't know what you're talking about. No one sits in 18th place acting 'smug'. Use your brain.
Yeah I just read your post history, with posts such as: "lol u bunch of neeks" "stop muggin me off yeh fam" "wagawaga bredren" and "evryting is good famalam" I don't think you are in a position to talk about anyone sounding cringey or 'like a bellend'.
Yeah I have to agree, it's certainly not smugness. This is what he's been like since I first saw him at Scunthorpe. He's just very happy.
For different reasons, this has joined Strachan's 'Delgado yoghurt pot' reply as my favourite answer to an interviewer.
Don't worry trixter, there are some Saints fans who find Nigel a little bit too Tinkerbell for their liking. I mean that in a Disneyesque way, of course. But that is the man. He is definitely not putting on a front. Crikey, we've seen this sort of stuff for the last 2+ years, and that is what he's like. He's practically speechless when he achieves something he's never done before [Championship promotion], but he's the first to applaud everyone else bar himself. And rarely has a Saints manager endeared himself to the fans as quickly and as firmly as Nigel has. And finally, he's a smashing bloke. There's a lot there to like, and we do.
Apparently he knows one childrens song. It is 'how much is that doggy in the window' and he likes to alternate the word 'doggy' with 'player' a couple of times during the season!
I think that's why motorcycle racers love the sport in an extra special way. Without doubt, they are staring death in the face every time they race. Especially the road circuit pepys. I must admit that when I crank the throttle open on the VFR, and the almighty rush begins as I dash through a bend, without 100% knowing what is on the other side of it, there is a tiny element of that. Same as when I go sailing. However well I can swim [which isn't great these days] I always remember that the water is taller than me, but it little matters..!
Positivity breeds positivity. Nigel is the best example of that. Two thing have happened since he did the poem. The players and fans will have had a positivity rush, either by being motivated by his attitude or by having a good giggle at him behind his back. Can you imagine the players watching that? I bet when they are at the back of the coach going to the game they are all pissing about impersonating him. This in itself is good management. It might not work, but he has lifted the gloom in a very clever moment. Trixter, I would choose that sort of interview everyday of the week over Sam moaning or groaning when something has gone wrong, in his gum chewing, negative, snarly manner.
Where's gomarchingin?????? Either he's collapsed with a heartache at another dose of Nigel psychobabble, or Nigel's positive management technique is so bloody good that gomarchingin can't bring himself to make a negative post on this thread!!
Nigel was getting slaughtered on Twitter earlier, being referred to as 'the real life Mike Bassett' and a few said 'David Brent moment'. Still, he's Madkins and he's our Madkins. Father Nigel, please deliver us some points on the Holy Day.... please log in to view this image
awesome. May as well post this here again too (for those who haven't seen it on other threads) http://www.impresscoaching.co.uk/nigel-adkins-the-impress-inspiration-league/
