Hmmm, Gerrard charged. Obviously don't know all the facts yet, but why has he even put himself anywhere near that sort of situation, there is no excuse for it. Hate to say it (and wouldn't put him in the same league as Barton), but if it i proven that he got physically involved in giving someone a kicking, I hope they throw the book at him (which they won't)!


Fingers crossed some CCTV footage will clear him, but it's a worry that he was charged with 2 other men, whilst 3 others were not charged. Suggests he was more involved than he should have been...


Don't think it makes me at all anti Liverpool saying that. I will support them on the pitch, but off of it, they need to be answerable to the same laws and punishments as the rest of us!

hear hear keef, I'm sick to death of celebrity being taken into account when sentencing.


Mind you, I'm also in favour of community service instead of custodials where sensible (regardless of celebrity) and footballers really can be good role models, so giving them 600 hours of training kids clubs in run down estates can't e a bad thing either.


Mind you, he's still a twonk if it turns out he got involved in a fracas, he's old enough to know better frankly.

Hmm, let me think. Gets paid millions. Is one of the best all round midfielders in the world. Has an incredible work rate and can pull a team up by their bootlaces on those rare occaisions when no-one else looks like they want to play. I can't see them treating him like Joey Barton. And, before I get slapped, I don't think United would be any different and I also am not assuming he is guilty.

Based on what they said on Sky Sports and also in the Times and Daily Mail it seems Authorities are trying to make an example of Gerrard however flimsy the case for a successful conviction.


The newspapers have not been able to dig up much except Gerrard using his elbow to get past the DJ, a Manchester United fan according to Daily Mail and Times, as he brushed past him after the said DJ had verbally abused him. Sky Sports claim a eyewitness had testified that Gerrard then acted as a peacemaker trying to break up an altercation between his friends and the DJ.

Not sure that is entirely fair. You cannot expect him to sit at home watching TV every night. I suspect he gets these situations almost on a weekly basis and has strategies for handling them. Occasionally things will go wrong. He's going to meet Everton or Man Utd supporters everywhere and there'll always be some twerp ready to have a pop or chuck the old taunts at him. It's probably all a plot by Chelsea anyway...


And I would love to know who the creative geniuses at the Daily Mash are...Is there anyone else in the UK writing such consistently funny and perceptive stuff? The final paragraph about Nevin & Le Saux was totally on the money

You're probably right Simon, and I certainly wouldn't expect him to stay indoors, but even if his mates jump on someone, he should have the brains to just make sure he doesn't put a boot in, as he is basically being watched all the time when he's not at home.

Lot of quotes in this article about what happened. It seems Gerrard was involved in the initial confrontation with DJ which reads more handbags at ten paces than anything - it's after Gerrard has stepped back that one of his party has broken a bottle over the DJ's head.

Daily Mail is talking about 5 years in the slammer for Gerrard if found guilty. Before anyone get's carried away about finding the innocent guilty let us remember some of these other sensationalist media reports on alleged rapes and assaults performed by famous footballers in recent times: -


Ronaldo: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-365943/United-star-arrested-rape-inquiry.html


Johnny Evans: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-503251/Man-Utd-star-Rape-victims-jealous-boyfriend-attacked-I-danced-her.html


Roy Keane: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-339472/Keane-court-assault-charge.html


Nicky Butt: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-183210/Butt-quizzed-club-assault-claim.html


Wayne Rooney: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-418465/Police-send-file-CPS-Rooney-nightclub-assault.html

Well, that's the Daily Mail for you. Sensationalist right-wing fecking bullshit written and published by a bunch of cunts just so they can sell a few extra copies. Also check for The Sun and their appalling reporting on the Hillsboro disaster - who do much the same.

part of recent poll on WHTID:


"Who would you most like to see destitute under Waterloo Bridge, begging for a cup of tea?


Kevin McCabe 64%

Neil Warnock 16%

Frank Lampard 15%

Paul Ince 4%"


The question made me chuckle, but as it was a bit of a leading question/list, and there was no 'none' option, the result is hardly surprising, and reflects the author's mind rather than your average reader if you ask me.

Still made me laugh though (sorry Simon, not flaming you, honest).

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
