Fan Diary – 17 October 2010: Goodbye, Hicks and Gillett (And The Crowd Went Wild…)
By Ethan Armstrong on October 17, 2010

Ding dong: the ding dongs are dead. It will be some time before Liverpool supporters know what we’re getting with John Henry and NESV, but we can at least bask in the joy that comes with departure of tweedle-dee and …

Fan Diary – 12 October 2010: Liverpool; John Henry’ High Court; Peter Lim; This Writer’s Head Implodes
By Ethan Armstrong on October 12, 2010

Fan Diary – 21 Sept 2010: The Goals In A Loss
By Ethan Armstrong on September 21, 2010
