did any one else here him on the championship last weekend ? if i rember rightly the quote was "We play better and more footbal than Watford and Stoke" What a prik if he still thinks were a hoofball team has he not seen that we are third in the league (well top after friday ) and they are bottom ? Lets show this idiot why we are third (sorry i mean top lol) and give them a footballing lesson a good 4 0 will do very nicely ;D Everyone get your arses down the brit and cheer the lads on to the top of the league GOAARRRNNN STOKEEE!!!!!

What he said is true. Thus proving however that playing the beautiful game will not get you out of this division. Just ask the west brom fans ;D Just you watch friday. They'll string 10 - 15 passes together but barely be over the half way line. As soon as we gain possesion it'll be 1 punt upfield & it won't matter wether they knock it out for a corner or throw in. We'll score off either of them.

I kind of like Scunny for some reason, probably because of Beagrie. Hope they stay hope, hope they get no help from us in that though! Well not until after Friday anyway!

Albanian - that's the first time I've ever read 5 consecutive words with 'hope' being 3 of them! What Adkins actually said was "We pass it more than Brazil and pass it more than Stoke"

I actually quite liked Adkins prior to seeing that interview. Not necessarily because he made that comment about Stoke but because he immediately reminded me of Steve Quitteral. Pure sports psychology babble.
Obviously its all lazy stuff being trotted out about Stoke style of play - we know for a fact that Fuller is a far better pure footballer than Scunthorpe's star player, for example. We had 7 corners v Southampton's 9. What are we supposed to do, try not to score from them?

meanwhile back on the subject:
He might be a knob (see above) but at least he did for Robson in that last game at home with 10 men .
So i'll downgrade him to a prick.

I do recall that he said they play "more football" but I don't think he said "better" football?

I saw it as well and had to laugh. Adkins is talking out of his arse and he knows it. Only said to give his own lads a little bit of self-belief. I thought the same lordb, he did sound slightly stokie.

To be fair Adkins is always one of the managers I like most in this league. Most of the time he does respect the other team and praises them for beating his side which is not something you here very often.
Also you have to love the chant:
"Who needs Mourinhio, weve got our physio"
Brilliant ;D
