Colchester and proud!
Director
Thought you lot might like a laugh, this has been taken from our OMB, at least Adrian's interviews are interesting and amusing, he is a bit like our team, you never know what is going to happen next!
*****************************************************
Here's a selection of some of Aidy's quotes to date, he is providing plenty of soundbites so far!
(Thanks to Stuart Watson of the EADT for forwarding most of these, originally published in his Saturday column)
"Every team needs a Kemi Izzet. He's the sort of player that would kick his own grandmother." - Following midfielder Izzet's reinstatement to the first team following suspension.
"It's like when you have an argument with your wife. You tend to come out, put a brave face on and pretend you've not had a row." - After an angry Boothroyd sent his players out to warm up again just two minutes into their half-time break against Walsall. The U's went on to win the game 2-1.
"I want us to be like one of those little balls you can buy in a newsagents, the ones that bounce forever. I don't want us to be a medicine ball." - An individual take on the importance of maintaining form.
"Defenders can't handle him and he ends up on the end of a lot of WWE wrestling moves because of that." - Striker Clive Platt comes in for some praise.
"In football you need to be able to unlock the door and to do that you can either pick the lock or smash it down. With the players we have got in our squad I think we can do both." - The 'we have a plan B cliché' gets taken to a new level.
"I thought he did well considering that was his first start since I think 1947!" - On defender Matt Lockwood after he made his first league start in six months.
"Everyone will be valued here. I don't believe in sending players to Outer Mongolia." - Colchester's fringe players are given some words of comfort.
"Millwall's not the nicest of places to go to. I knew there was a recession on because they were throwing 2ps at me instead of pound coins!"
“In the first half the ball looked like it was crying, it had that much abuse”- An honest assessment of a direct half of football
“It’s like fencing with a plastic sword”- on reserve team football
“You just slap the Vicks vaporub on, and get on with it”- Aidy on a few of the squad having “sniffles”
“Problematic and Jamie (Guy) seem to go together at the moment”- Not wrong there
“I thought this was a radio interview for the football match- I feel like I’m on dear Deidre or something about how I feel, so let’s stick to the game” - Aidy wants to talk football, not about his own emotions after Colchester throw away a two goal lead at Oldham
