I have to remind Arsene about his team, which used to win the league, that was the dirtiest team in the league. If you cast your mind back to when they were winning the league, they had more seedings-off and bookings than anyone else.
The bonding of the team is exceptionally important and trying to create a good team spirit and to have some fun.
Whoever you are playing and whatever you are playing against you have to weigh up tactically how you approach that game. That has always been a part of my make-up, having made my way through every division and finding out what management is all about.
If I got sacked because my results weren't good enough at Everton, I accept it, but getting sacked when they finish eighth, it is ridiculous. In fact, it is ludicrous.
Since Newcastle I've had a fantastic time at Blackburn and then here, at West Ham.
I'm hardened over many years. You toughen yourself for whatever job. You either take the good with the bad or don't bother.
