“It is customary for columnists to complain about the excesses of Premiership footballers, whenever - as happens regularly - there is an incident involving some combination of sex, drugs, drink, violence and the constabulary. But modern footballers have a lot of both money and disposable time, a combination that has proved a recipe for personal disaster throughout history. And these incidents take place generally round night clubs rather than football clubs. The average Premiership player who turned up for work drunk would have a career-expectancy measurable in minutes.” HappensNightSexCareersPlayerViolenceModernMinutesFootballDrinkDrugRoundsAverageClubsComplainingDisasterDrunkSoccerCombinationAnalysisExcessRecipesIncidentsInvolvingFootballerDisposableColumnistsExpectancyFootball ClubsNight ClubSex Drugs Author:Matthew Engel

“When nuclear weapons were an elite club of five relatively sane world powers, the Left was convinced the planet was about to go ka-boom any minute, and the handful of us who survived would be walking in a nuclear winter wonderland.

“TV is a different animal. It's not a club set. As you said, you do short sets on TV - about five minutes.
