    I don't have Saints Player but apparently he has made his usual pre-match interview ahead if tomorrow's game against Peterborough.

    Apparently it is really quite inspiring and positive from NA and makes you feel more excited and fired up for the game.

    I'm only going by what has been said on Twitter.

    Any news!

    COYR!

    It doesn't surprise me. I used to be lazy but now I get up every day and ' strive to be the best I can be'. ( I wish this was true).

    And no days off. Who wants a day off when you've got the best job in the world, with the best staff, the best players and the best facilities and the best...?

    And no time to go home and make love.

    Me too, and funnily enough that would please a few on here as my best spot is behind the front man/infront of the midfield workers and so the Guly haters could sing my name. Mind you, if you think he's lazy (I don't), I could soon surpass that and have those boo boys on my back. I am legend in my own 5 yard radius!!

    Great interview. He basically said that there is no reason to be worried, and that each individual player knows what they're playing for, and that they'll do all they can to fight for it. Talked about ruthlessness, and the fans being the extra player etc.

    Also said Morgan might be back, although I don't think he will personally but would be a bonus if he was back by Saturday. <ok> On another note, does anyone else think it's madness that this season has less than 2 weeks left (hopefully)? Gone really quick.

    Tell me about it - I can't believe we only have one more home game. :emoticon-0106-cryin

    OMG, we could be playing into May - God, I hope not!

    sadly if we were to lose all 3 games the season would be extended, Id rather it ends on a high note on the 28th April!!

    Great interview from Nigel,one of the best of the season so far.It's amazing how positive he is,it's such a great thing to have especially in the job he's in.

    All that positivity inundate the dressing room and get into the players minds so much.
    If I get really positive after watching his interviews I can't imagine what affect it has on the players that get to see him everyday.

    Just watched his interview and he has left me pumped...

    I screen captured a few moments of the interview that I think it summed it all up. Great stuff.

    Loved the last part of the interview....

    When asked " 2 away games in a week, do you aim for 6? Happy with 4? How many do you need or want?"

    Adkins response "1 game at a time, 3 games of the season left, we're after 9"

    Interview Ends!

    God I love his positivity!:laugh:

    What's genius about him is that after watching that, my psyche just suddenly switched from "oh no, West Ham are going to catch us, we are going to end up in the playoffs" to "we can still win this league, you know. I think we might just snatch it on the last day" - As said in above, imagine what working with that everyday is like.

    I love Nigel, I become a little less hetrosexual everytime he does an interview. :redface:

    Similar here really, was really worried about the run-in, looking over our shoulder so to speak.

    Didn't know whether to listen to the game or just go to bed and see what has happened in the morning.

    I am listening now! He's changed my stance, lets just look ahead and keep running (playing games) and see where we end up.

    The title is not gone!

    "Ultimately, if you don't feel that horrible feeling inside your stomach when you lose then you have to question whether you are a winner or not. "

    More classic stuff from the master of motivation. I don't know how the players feel right now, but I certainly feel good!
