Maybe this is their final last ditch plan, drown out the prosecution with ringtones

Andy Hughes ‏@SkyAndyHughes 5s5 seconds ago A member of #AdamJohnson's defence team told off by judge after his phone beeps twice, interrupting the closing speech by prosecution QC. :facepalm:

Considering how interested we all seem to be in it, I don't think it's surprising you'd want to be in court to hear the details and sentence for the father of your child, even if you're no longer with him. She's also been involved in the trial as a witness.

Andy Hughes ‏@SkyAndyHughes #AdamJohnson's sister runs out of court after her phone goes off and interrupts final speech of prosecutor.

"I rest my case." "You rest your case?" "What? Oh no, I thought that was just a figure of speech. Case closed."

Reason given that there are three teams in the league worse than us, which he seems to struggle to name. "Villa, um... Norwich aren't great. Maybe Sunderland? They'll be there or thereabouts. Bournmouth play pretty well. Could get dragged into it I guess but they'll probably be OK. So yeah, 100% staying up."

Newcastle United will not be relegated - I am 100 per cent confident of that Rob Lee http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-not-relegated-am-10946957 Phew, panic over lads.

Someone showed me a photo of her on his phone the other day, saying it was the 15 year old Johnson had been messing about with

I know it's "banter" to call him a paedo and that but he isnt really. I'm not sure we'll ever see this girl, but while he did know she was 15, I bet she looks about 25. Wasnt because she was 15 that he went after her No girls in Year 10 look 25 man. He had a girlfriend who was literally a model and could have his pick of plenty of adult women. It's not like some lonely immature guy who was getting attention from the only girl who's shown an interest in him.

I can imagine it's pretty tough coaching someone as thick as this as a defence lawyer. "OK Adam, let's try this again. When I say 'Are you a man of honour?' and stand on your foot, you say yes."

It's not every day a PL club does the ol' stand by your nonce routine. Newcastle would probably have done exactly the same We're run by morally bankrupt wankpheasants , so that's not a particularly glowing comparison.

The weird thing is the sacking him when he pleaded guilty. What he pleaded guilty to was what he admitted in the interviews that they knew about (which makes it a bit odd that he pleaded not guilty to start with, but hey). Acting all surprised and sacking him then is a bit devious in terms of public image.

RTG has a robot that automatically makes threads based on SAFC related news articles which isn't good for their current ban on discussing it http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/footballer-manipulated-girlfriend.1203984/

Paedo knobs have barbs on, like a cat.

He's already pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity, just denies the others.

Surely it gets to the point where when it's going so badly, there's a big screen showing text messages saying you wanted to get a Year 10 lass's jeans off, a text message saying you can't last more than ten seconds without going off and a picture of your cock you're just gonna go "OK, let's just end the trial here, I change my plea to guilty".

See this is finally getting into headline articles rather than footnotes http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-3458530/Adam-Johnson-claims-Sunderland-knew-groomed-15-year-old-girl-engaged-sexual-activity-Range-Rover.html Adam Johnson claims Sunderland knew he groomed 15-year-old girl and engaged in sexual activity with her in his Range Rover

"This verdict is written on a cocktail napkin... And it still says guilty! And "guilty" is spelled wrong!"

I'm sure it was a pretty difficult case to defend, but his supposed superstar lawyer doesn't seem to have done him much good. Should have brought back Dick Advocaat, he's got the perfect name to be defence QC in a case like this.

Are you doing it to impress a 10/10, or Year 10?

Hang on, what's his defence? Yeah, I wanted to fuck a child but she wouldn't put out, your honour, honest.
