Thedelldays Posted 23 April, 2011 Share Posted 23 April, 2011 great afternoon for supporters conollly such a class act Brighton should be gracious in defeat and they are not, would not shake hands etc fair play to them though, worthy champions lallana back, played well in the "hole" controlled first 30 mins gave away silly passes deserved victory lallana best player in the league brighton put their best team out we still beat them on their own patch and they desperately wanted to win this we did the business today Always tinkering with the formation today to keep them guessing and play the game on our terms all in our hands, always playing catch up with games he sounded peed off at brighton at the end showing no grace in defeat and the reaction to their players showed that they really wanted to win that..so he does not believe they took their foot off the gas so to speak top man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pecho Lobo Posted 23 April, 2011 Share Posted 23 April, 2011 I didn't get the impression that he was saying that Brighton should be gracious in defeat. I heard it more as his personal views and that you should always be gracious if you are defeated etc. This brief interview for me said a lot about Adkins and for me what came across is what a good, proper sportsman he is, i.e refusing to rise to all the baiting of him for his "if they can stay with us comments" and not getting into all that. It is amazing that what was a one off witty comment some months ago has aroused such ire from all of Brighton. Talk about losing perspective. NA kept his perspective today and for me, showed himself as a class act, principled and fair, an approach that I for one like. I also think it is more interesting to hear him talk like that than the repetition of his building, bus, chipping away etc buzzwords. Well done Nigel, I think that he can continue to do great things for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank's cousin Posted 23 April, 2011 Share Posted 23 April, 2011 Its all a bit of banter. Poyet and Adkins know the score. Pre match hype helps sell tickect and generates interest and its good for both clubs to get a bit of extra coverage - classic marketing.

If Brighton are a good footballing side then I'm a monkey's uncle. They are a niggly, dirty little team that win games 1-0 and by slightly devious tactics. Fortunately for us we have several ways we can play, usually we play good passing football, but when the opposition demand it we can switch and play different tactics. NA is the first manager we have had for ages that has the nous to change tactics and formations not only from game to game but often several times within a game.

mancsaint Posted 23 April, 2011 Share Posted 23 April, 2011 IF its true that they refused to shake hands then thats really poor. No idea what their feeling bitter about. Recent "tradition" ala Man Utd & Chelsea last year, is that at the game following the winning of a league championship, the opponents line up and the winners come out through them. Saints didn't do it so Brighton didn't shake hands at the end. I would say NA made that decision in the dressing room. Mancsaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched bits of the Cardiff QPR match on TV today, which of the current teams would be best equipped to play them, Saints or BHA?

In an odd sort of way, my feelings towards Pompey actually mean I'd rather see them beat Brighton, than the other way around. I guess it's because I actually care about that rivalry and do want to see us and Pompey play each other, whereas I couldn't give two ****s about Brighton. If Pompey lost every game and were totally out of it, it would be no fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 23 April, 2011 Share Posted 23 April, 2011 AP is a journeyman manager who rarely cares for his club. He negotiates a long contract on a high wage, cries when he doesn't get his way, ****s the players' wives and then gets a nice payout when he is asked to move on. That doesn't mean he doesn't get results and good performances along the way, but I don't believe he cares about any of the clubs he manages.
