I think GA used to come out with “never too high, never too low” a lot (as in, never be too down when you’ve lost, or too full of yourself when you’ve won).
Gormo’s was obviously the immortal “och, we were so unlucky” after we’d fought our way to the umpteenth draw, with “the lads worked so hard in training” being a close second.
With Paul Lambert, everything was “toff” (tough).
Don’t remember Peter Taylor having one.
Waddock used to bang on about “the group” all the time.
"We're only Little Wycombe so to come up here and..." / "we're not little Wycombe anymore but if people want to write us off..." / "people don't like it when I call us little Wycombe" etc etc
A Smith v Adams crime sheet would be an intriguing battle wouldn't it.
Adams implying Gorman had a way bigger budget, offering Simpemba a criminal 12.5k salary, that meant he'd earn more playing non league working in a factory, "doing" his budget.
Walking out on the club and them finding out via the media.
Suggesting Currie and Simpson, two of our favourite sons had "given up", and shipping them off for free. Then we watch Simmo have many a quality season after, and did Currie go for 500k to a higher tier later on?
And clearly worse of all, writing off relegation as done, even though he only came in a couple of months into the season!
It wasn't the fact that it was about apples, it was his suggestion that there was no point telling our players not to eat an apple before the game because they were not intelligent enough to understand it
There is an event called the ciderthon at Henley next month. It's a half marathon with a different cider available every mile! I may be staggering over the finishing line.

Does Matt, or have any other players, reference what they call him? Is he “Boss” to Gaz being “gaffer”
I think he is still the Gaffer. I never realized what an old word it is too, going back centuries.
Well as we know MB's catchphrase, what would we say it was for GA? My (somewhat longer) nomination:
"Those boys deserve it, because you know what, they have given me everything."

With Paul Lambert, most of what he said was indecipherable, in any case.
Or “that goal changes nothing” in reference to Stockport’s goal in the first leg of that ill-fated play off match.
Had a drinking game earlier with a pint downed every "most certainly so" .......I'd quote drink now
Waddock's, constant "The group", "This Group", it was like watching episodes of 70's episodes of Top of the Pops.
Saint Martin loved the word 'Monumental'.
An all time classic up there with Hayes' "don't worry about the money".
"So proud of the boys".

I have no idea whether or not Tony Adams had any pet phrases, because I never listened to a word that came out of his mouth.
They tell all your children, the devil he's a villain, it’s most certainly so
He "doesn't buy sheds" was one notable early one.

There was his rant about apples
Was it Danny Senda eating an apple just before a game that did it?
Does sound a good route to an upset stomach in fairness
I never eat and apple without thinking about Tony Adams. He was right too.

'That is most certainly true of I'
I have a memory of it being Curry 🤔
It wasn't the fact that it was about apples, it was his suggestion that there was no point telling our players not to eat an apple before the game because they were not intelligent enough to understand it
We've all got stories of playing the morning after a curry
Why has Tony Adams not progressed as a manager @eric_plant (rhetorical)
I think you’re right.
It was definitely Danny Senda.
it was an apple
He was probably just mad that it was a waste of good cider

I never eat an apple 🍎. Too acidic. Quite like avocados though.
