West Brom Disaster Still Haunts Boro Boss!
"I watched it on the way home, I was already clearing the things in my mind that we weren't doing, that maybe selection-wise we hadn't got right.
"You review every performance, every decision you made before, during and after it and plan what is to be done in the next week.
"I go through things a lot in my head, I don't need too many hours of sleep and that is a good thing. They are 12-hour days.
"I switch off with the family when I am with them, but when they go to bed and your wife falls asleep, you start thinking 'I'll write one more thing down'.
"We weren't in on Sunday. It was a day at home — to think about the game more!
"That is the nature of it. I snapped at my wife the other day because she said 'I thought today was a day off'. There isn't a day off.
"The phone is always ringing or there is a match on you think you should be watching. But that is the job. There is no complaint about that.
"I am an obsessive. I am from the Arsene Wenger camp. Anybody who stays in the game is obsessive, that's why you stay in it.
"You love football. You don't necessarily like all the aspects of the modern game but you love the game. If you didn't, you would do something completely different."
