[Deano's Invisible Pants]

BBC Sport - Football - Bournemouth 1-3 Southampton

Go straight to end of interview.....

What did he say? I am unable to hear the interview

 

[Hunting 784561]

Quote : Brighton are " so near, but so far "

We'll see....

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

"Brighton are so near yet so far". Absolute cliche. Absolute bollocks.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

To be fair, he hasn't said anything outrageous. For us, and for them, "so near, and yet so far". And he thinks it's still possible to catch us...lets face it, if it wasn't, we wouldn't give a toss would we?

Compared to most of the stuff he comes out with, it's quite reasonable.

I should add I didn't listen to the entire interview, by the way, so if he was full of crap before the last minute or so, then I reserve the right to retract this statement.

 

[hola gus]

Aha, brilliant. What a prize cockend he is. Really hope we have the championship wrapped up before we play them at home and our fans spend the whole match giving him what for!!!! Really starting to hate the bloke.

 

[magoo]

Just says there's a fair way to go for both teams, so near yet so far. So?

 

[pottert]

What is he supposed to say,no they are good & deserve to win the league.I don't think so.

 

[Robert Codners Nostrils]

No. He should say "they're f@#king brilliant and deserve to go up as champions!"

I do love the arrogance of their fans, according to someone on their board they are "effectively in second" place.

In fairness, I've been saying that for weeks as with their games in hand it's been.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

All fair do's there.

 

[brightonmark1234]

i still think there will be a twist

 

[drop dead fred]

i do hope they fail to go up and lose in the play offs

arrogant shit

 

[Brownstuff]

I heard him spouting some bollocks the other day discussing the build up to the Bournemouth Saints game
He said 'Every single game in this league we start as favourites'

No Mr Adkins when you play at the Withdean Brighton will start as favourites

 

[Eastleigh Northstander]

What an utter tosser that Adkins is!! Did he go to the Wenger management school of arrogance?? And once again he says all clubs raise their game against them.........Yawn Yawn!!

 

[The Large One]

Schoolboy psychology.

 

[Ernest]

Let all those SMALL time clubs SCRAP over second place

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Aren't you even happier that we have the most adorable manager in the world.

 

[trueblue]

Shouldn't be annoying people for too much longer. If they don't go up, at the end of the season he'll be binned quicker than he can roll out another line from his big book of cliches. And if they don't finish second, who'd fancy their chances with the way Peterborough and MK Dons are playing? With Huddersfield and Bournemouth in the mix too this is definitely not a good year to be embroiled in the play-offs.
