There's an image for you, right? The English papers have Gerrard released from custody (Telegraph) and being charged with assault and affray (Guardian). I had to look up affray, which basically is public fighting that rises, according to one legal dictionary I consulted, "to the terror of the people."Well then.
There's two other men (allegedly) involved and up on charges, so Gerrard isn't the only one on the hook in this Phil Collins-fueled fracas. I have to say, this is all being treated quite seriously for what sounds to me like a bunch of drunken rolling around. Sure, a DJ got his face busted up and tooth knocked out, but fer cryin' out loud, man, the boy was applauded off the pitch at Newcastle only a few hours previous. Show some respect when Captain Fantastic wants to hear Groovy Kind of Love.
Anyway, whatever. I can't help but find a lot of really dark humor in all this, but I don't have kids and am not worried about role models, the "proper" way to lead one's life, whathaveyou. Gerrard got smashed and punched up a DJ. I've seen worse – from my Mom.

Brilliant observation here from the Guardian's blog on the Gerrard arrest. Repeated here because I can't help but ride the coattails of this guy:

What did Gerrard do anyway? Grab the guy by the scruff of the neck?
Can anyone get a verification on whether or not this was a V-neck? Because Stevie MBE really strikes me as a V-neck kinda guy.
Hey, I remember you! Good work.
Gerrard doesn't seem like he'd be comfortable in the crew-neck cut, but you often see him sporting one under the shirt on match day. I just think he'd prefer the V-neck for a night out in Southport, a few beers, maybe some Phil Collins from the DJ. The V-neck allows for more relaxation and freedom when out with one's boys.
