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 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.
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.
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.
I wanted to retire at 55. Now at 61 with two young kids, I want to spend a bit of time with them.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
My son William and my daughter Amy are both really into their hockey now and I can enjoy watching that.
I'm not sure I will watch a lot of professional football once I've retired.
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.
The players is what I enjoy, the training ground, making players better and believing in themselves because you can make a difference.
I enjoy working with players who want to work and I get more satisfaction with that than ready made teams or players.
