I'm glad to see goal-line technology working; we should have had it for years. I do believe we will soon see managers being allowed one, or two, challenges.Collection: Technology
It's easier to sit at your desk and have a bun, but I've been really disciplined because I feel like I have to give myself a chance. You can't let yourself down on that. You have to be mentally sharp in this Premier League.Collection: Chance
Statistics can be so misleading. It is funny, though, how often at the moment you see one team had 60 per cent of the ball but still lost.
My son William is only nine but he's had four public schools so far, one in Cornwall, one when I was at Sheffield, one in Beckenham when I was at Palace.
In football you never know what's around the corner, but by sticking together - directors, management, players and fans - we can look to do something.
Personally I have not encountered racism at matches, or in clubs I have worked in, for many years.
I tried to download a jazz album this week and ended up getting some tracks four times, some once, some three times; in total I ended up with 50 tracks. I don't know how I did it.
People talk about flip charts, tactic boards and other rubbish like that. But the truth is that as a manager you just need to get the best out of the players at your disposal.
My son William and my daughter Amy are both really into their hockey now and I can enjoy watching that.
I enjoy working with players who want to work and I get more satisfaction with that than ready made teams or players.
On the plus side, leaving Leeds meant I have been able to spend a lot of time with the family, enjoying a very rare summer off and my first Christmas without work worries since I was a teenager. I was also able to accept an offer to work with BT Sport.
Oh, I love Cornwall, it's so special. We bought the house when I was with Plymouth Argyle and we've just kept that on and kept modernising things.
My three-course meal would be: smoked salmon with capers and a few prawns on there as well. Then it would be a dover sole grilled on the bone with a portion of green beans. And if I wasn't dieting or looking after myself, my favourite pudding would be bread and butter pudding with custard, ice cream and clotted cream all together!
People just do not realise what a football life can be. Since 1968 I've never had more than a few weeks out of work, when I left Sheffield United and I have not had a Christmas.
But the art of management has not changed. The art of it is still 80 to 90 per cent man-management. It is just a matter of getting the best out of what you have got.
No disrespect to Cardiff but they probably needed me more than I needed them, when I was appointed.
I'm not sure I will watch a lot of professional football once I've retired.
A few eyebrows have been raised at Adel Taarabt joining Milan. Having worked with Adel for two years, I am not as surprised as most people seem to be. He is a player of immense ability and, if he is handled right, and motivated himself, he can win games at any level.
But referees have to remember there is a reason managers are being nice to them - we're hoping that it just might make the difference when there is a borderline decision.
I used to think you needed a passport to go south of Watford. But when I came to London the people were fantastic, so good, right down to earth, my kind of people.
There's two or three managers I can't stand. I detest them and they know that.
Most of the clubs I have had, they have been in a precarious situation when I have taken over and I have had to change it, even going back to Scarborough and all that.
That's what you want to do as a manager, finish the game, get in your bath and think about the kids going home, the young kids going home.
The chairman, Mehmet Dalman, he was brilliant for me. He helped me left, right and centre, he lives aboard now but he was my shoulder.
I was fined £20,000 for TV interview where I barely said anything. The FA brought an outside barrister in to do me. A big place like the FA, they don't have their own in-house lawyer?
It's difficult to motivate yourself to do the workouts when you get older but I train hard.
My teams have never been supposed to be able to do the things that they do.
There's got to be a role for an experienced football person helping the manager; not being a threat to the manager, but helping and sorting out a lot of the hassle he has, you know? Letting him concentrate on managing the football side.
I do like reading autobiographies, if I'm honest.
If you look at my past in the Premier League, without going into too many details, I don't think I had much of a chance at any of them, for different reasons.
Everyone wants to be loved and liked - but you can't be as a manager.
As a manager, you know you're going to take the brickbats from other clubs and their fans. But I do enjoy making my own fans happy.
I love poetry and I've kept everything I've written.
I like soppy films, sentimental stuff with children.
When people say things about me, I'd love to come back and give my version, but I'd rather let others spout off until the time is right.
When you're younger, you have three or four bad results and you worry about everything. You worry about injuries, because they always seem to be your best players.
I've played for managers who said one thing and did another and players find you out like that. You've got to trust them and they've got to trust you.
Trust is a big word for a manager. You expect certain standards and attitudes and they know if they lower those standards, I'll jump on them.
Neil Etheridge in goal and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, they've both come from lower league clubs and done brilliantly.
When you're younger, you worry about the sack and getting abuse and things, but when you get to my age, you become less bothered about those things. It becomes more like a hobby and less like life or death.
If I want another job, I'll get one. I haven't set a date of when to stop managing.
I find the quality of the officials in the Premier League so much better than the Championship.
I don't think the authorities realise how much fans in general invest in their clubs.
I wanted to retire at 55. Now at 61 with two young kids, I want to spend a bit of time with them.
I love the way the Cardiff fans get behind their team, which is why I do that clenched fist action at the end of games. They get really up for the match, I can hear them and I just help offer my own support in return.
I don't have a desire to prove people wrong, as such, because if you take a look at my Premier League record it's not too bad.
It's the last question mark against me in my career. Why couldn't I keep a team in the Premier League.
When I do pack it in, there's plenty for me to do down in Cornwall. There are some decent local teams, like Bodmin, that I'd like to go and watch.
There is a version of me people see. I don't think I play up to it, I think it's more other people put it out there. People see the football side of me, but I'm a different character away from it.
I can't replicate how I feel when that whistle goes on nights like that, knowing you've won it, that people are going home smiling. You don't get that sat on my tractor in Plymouth or doing the shop in Tesco.
