I don't know and think he has been very lucky. I can only assume that the jury felt because she had spent more time with him and went to the hotel with him that amounted to consent?

Agreed. Arsenal's defence has been very poor this season and much of this down to Chambers.

What do you do? Lock yourself away? She says she thinks her drink was spiked. Hard to prove either way. I don't know what happened previously but on this occasion she says she has no recollection of what happened and did not accuse anyone of raping her. What about Evans? He walks in, nails someone he has never met before when she was very clearly intoxicated then walks out again. Don't you think he left himself in a vulnerable position??? You seem to be firmly in the camp of if you go out and get hammered you deserve whatever happens to you?

Good point!!!

Ricardo Fuller.

Kelvin Davis has taken more than his fair share over the years. But what about the players who got away with it? Terry Hurlock was awful but I don't remember him getting stick and of course the legend that is Frannie Benali was very poor for most of his career (although he did improve towards the end of his career).

True but he isn't the only one who hasn't played so well for England - a team we should remember that has done nothing since 1966.

Isnt that what the players pay their agents for? He may well of had a word but I assume they have minds of their own and we know from Lovren that his was already in Merseyside. I also seem to remember a certain Michael Channon "tapping up" Kevin Keegan when they were room mates for England.

Chambers may well become a good player one day and maybe he has been thrown in at the deep end too soon at Arsenal, but from what I have seen so far this season I can see why we took the £16m and ran. What with Lovren as well both very good bits of business.

It is simple, the guy has been one of the best English Premiership players ever. England have been poor for some time now, even with England's other sweetheart David Beckham. To blame Gerrard for a poor England is harsh (and who will ever forget the 1-5 thrashing of Germany?).

City haven't done to bad out of the Lampard move have they. It would be awesome having a player like Gerrard at the club. Not only would it be a boost to the academy players coming though it would give more options from the bench. Not that it will happen of course.

Not sure if he has done well out of this as a person. He will always be known as a rapist and football fans are not quick to forget or forgive (even if he eventually clears his name).

Not sure what that has to do with this case. As I recall she didn't accuse anyone of rape. And this doesn't exclude her of having been raped before.

...

Doesn't mean that he hasn't been a quality player though.

I have seen Lambert miss plenty of chances. He is doing a tough job and it part of the reason, along with Forster and all the others, why we are doing well. As others have said, if he was "excellent" not only would he cost more money he would also be playing for another team.

To me this is one of Eastwood's best ever movies. Not only not what you would expect from him but an excellent movie all round.

Does that mean that have sold an extra shirt?

Quality yesterday. Do people still want Boruc back?

Gerrard has been a quality player and in his prime would have walked into most people's best Prem side of all time. Like Le Tissier, he has also been a one club man and could have gone elsewhere if he had chosen too but stayed loyal to his club. He may not be the player he was but any rational football supporter would have wanted Gerrard in their side when he was at his best. He will get a lot of media coverage and it is well deserved.

Ronald is way to cool to wear a coat like that!

Wheel status???
