If we go on a two month losing run after this two month winning one you will see the hypocrites on here back en force decrying Adkins interviews. That TEAM acronym thing he came out with last week is just typical, I remember a few years back he was spouting poetry. The funny thing is I've never really been bothered by a manager of ours until him. Whatever he does has worked for the last two months and we are stuck with him, plus he's an Allams man too, they won't boot him out and they are staying until they get every last penny of profit they can from us. It is what it is, just got to put up and shut up.
You can't wait wait for us lose can you. You'd rather we lose the next ten games than be wrong.

Get on with it fella, it's a extremely sad though don't you think?
 
I'll let you into a secret Kemps. I can't stand football I think its absolutely ****. Never seen a game in my life.

However, I love clichés! At the end of the day I just can't get enough of them. And when you watch a football interview those guys give 110% in the cliché department. In most situations you have to take it one game at a time when looking for a cliché but in football they go all in, they leave everything on the field, when spouting clichés, and they're deceptively quick in their cliché delivery.

Sometimes in an interview you think the manager has run out of steam but he's got a motor that just won't quit. When it comes to clichés he controls the uncontrollables.
I avoid them like the plague
 
Slightly off topic but why does Peter Levy pop up on my Twitter telling me he’s home now? on the list of people to follow he’s way down the list! :emoticon-0114-dull:

If Peter Levy did start tweeting he's home, it's likely to be for his weather friends information only.

P.S. Adkin's IMO uses social media in a non-confrontational way, which is harmless, but he at least appears to be communicating with the fan base.

To me fair Adkin's uses social media quite well, others could learn a thing or two from his example.

He's quite simply a [HASHTAG]#topbloke[/HASHTAG]

And good to see that the earlier undeserved negativity, cynicism etc many had toward him has all but disappeared, and that he continues to get continued recognition and respect that he thoroughly deserves. Said at the time he arrived he was as good as we could realistically hope for, and so it is being proved. If only he could get the right backing from the owners who knows what he / we could achieve.

“The manager is one of the most under-rated managers I’ve worked with,” he said. “I’ve spoken to people up and down the country and they’ve said the same thing.

“What he’s doing with Hull and the structure he’s put in place to help the lads perform is not down to luck. It didn’t come overnight but he’s kept working at it.

“The human element is so important as well, the confidence and the backing he gives you
