So many groups fail because they spend all their time in the clubs. Work pours in and they can't handle it because of late-night drinking.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
All the stuff about being a drinking club, or having players who were not good enough, I treat as rubbish.
When you're not part of a club, you have to find another way of surviving.
I'm not a party person or someone who likes to sit and drink in clubs all night, and never really have been. I have a good time through work.
One of the benefits of playing to small audiences in small clubs for a few years is that you're allowed to fail.
Clubs are so lame. Nobody even dances at these clubs. They stand around and get drunk and they schmooze. There is no enjoyment factor.
If you qualify for a World Cup and expect to get an easy group, you are in the wrong sport. It doesn't work like that.
Work is the curse of the drinking classes.
You gotta bear in mind, the youth - and this is just in Britain alone - have nowhere to go in the evenings. They've closed all the social centers. There's not even a patch of grass to kick a ball on.
They drink with impunity, or anybody who invites them.
What I've realised is that when I walk into a club, I don't feel good, I feel uncomfortable. I wonder what to do, I look for my drink... it's not necessarily an enjoyable experience, so why would I put myself through that?
