Steven Gerrard

Honestly he's having a laugh pleading not guilty isn't he? Every one of his fellow defendants pleaded guilty but he alone says it was self defence, on the grounds that he believed he would be attacked - as if one man would attack him and his six mates. Surely unless the jury is made up of devout Liverpool fans he will be found guilty.

I gather he has previous convictions so perhaps that is why he was advised not to plead guilty? It seems odd to me in any case, it is so open and shut as far as I can see.
