Nigel Adkins Song

[W.C.]

I think the "Adkins isn't that bad" posturing is almost more annoying than the "Adkins is a twat" posturing.

Football fans are irrational by the their very nature. There is nothing wrong with not liking someone who said something disparaging about OUR club and failed to show any class in making his team clap us on as champions subsequently.

By the same token - lets not make him out to be Scott McGleish. He is a physio who happens to be a decent lower league football manager.

not sure I'd call it posturing but, more or less, this.

This-ish.

 

[Crennis]

How about "ALLLLLLLBION" or We're by far the greatest team etc etc?

He maybe a pillock but how about a song that gets behind the team rather than wasting energy on someone of no consequence; I doubt CMS & co will be boosted knowing our fans are just there to abuse the opposition bench.

Championes throughout! And bring on the champions, as posted above

 

[Sitch]

A chorus of Champione Champione Ole Ole Ole, would probably get them going.

There can be no denying the man has a face that you do rather want to punch, as plenty of teams are discovering this season, but frankly given SFC's form recently over ours, I think I'll leave the daft songs to other people, as these things do tend to bite you on the arse if you lose.

(If we win, of course, I'll milk it for all its worth, but I'm not massively confident)

The guard of honour thing aside, I actually thought he took all the stick quite well at Withdean to be honest. Equally fairly, I know plenty of Saints fans who cringed at his "if they can keep up" comments, and likewise, I'll probably find it a bit cringey if we keep on and on about something that happened a year or so ago. We laughed at the time, now lets move on. Put it this way: if we bang on and on about keeping up this time, you can bet your bottom dollar it will be visited back on us with great glee if they beat us. And then this board will be full of posts by the same people who sang it (this season) at St Marys, complaining about what wankers the Southampton fans are for singing it back.

f*** adkins lets go there and do a job and win thats the only thing to do

I don't really consider Southampton a long time rival like CP or Portsmouth.

They are like Orient or Chesterfield, competitors for a season or so but no more.

How about "ALLLLLLLBION"

How about no

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I just want us to do our talking on the pitch, next Saturday. Then we can wipe the smug grin of Adkins face again.

 

[u'vebeenamexed]

He's certainly a guy who it is easy to dislike.

He likes the limelight and finds it hard to praise other clubs. His refusal to give us a guard of honour says a lot about him & Southampton.

I genuinely don't believe Saints will go up this year - they have peaked too early

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

When managerial heads start rolling in Prem, early next year, he'll be offski faster than greased weasel shit.

 

[Rookie]

Bloke is a bellend but no more so than 'Big Sam', the whole 'are we keeping up' stuff at the Withdean last season was funny at first but quickly became cringeworthy

 

[Silent Bob]

I think the "Adkins isn't that bad" posturing is almost more annoying than the "Adkins is a twat" posturing.

I kind of agree, some people seem seem to go out of their way to show how much they go against the grain of the normal football fan.
But at the same time I don't really care so much any more.
Obviously Adkins is a cringeworthy David Brent-esque oily rat of a man. But so are plenty of managers, last season is over and it's hard to get worked up about Adkins any more. We won.

Plus it will make it worse when they beat us.

Agree.

 

[Crennis]

How about no

My point being how about something that gets behind the team rather than pointless abuse of a nobody.

 

[saltash seagull]

2:50pm, c3000 Albion fans loudly sing "Bring on the Champions". Job done, point made.

love it haha atkins has every right to be cocky in interviews at the moment doesnt he?

 

[klaaturberada]

When managerial heads start rolling in Prem, early next year, he'll be offski faster than greased weasel shit.

You are pretty convinced he will be successful this season then?

 

[klaaturberada]

A chorus of Champione Champione Ole Ole Ole, would probably get them going.

Probably - not!

 

[Farehamseagull]

I cant stand the extremeley arrogant club or their extremely irritating manager but I think forgetting about them and singing songs for our players and manager will probably be the best idea.

Any reference to last season and 'keeping up' will quite frankly sound embarrassing bearing in mind how far ahead they are in the league right now.

 

[Richard Hebberd's Syrup]

Gus comes out with brilliant stuff. I don't understand.

Brilliant stuff to Brighton fans. In much the same way as Southampton fans enjoy Adkins nonsense. To fans of other clubs, I daresay he comes across as a bit of a twat

Anybody who seriously wants to spend any sort of time singing about Nigel being a wanker or whatever needs to get a bloody life. It's going to have next to sod all effect as he can just stand there with that cheeky little grin on his face knowing that some Brighton fans may think he is a wanker, but the league table doesn't lie
