No More Burnley Burnout for the Reds?

Christopher T. George

Friday, January 6th, 2006

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Liverpool’s last season nadir: when Jimmy Traore
failed to clear, hoofed into his own net at Turf Moor
for a shameful exit in the Third Round of the FA Cup.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Now it’s different, vows Rafa, Champs League magician.
Yet, we failed in Japan, frustrated knocking on the door
of the Sao Paulo goal. . . and what was Pepe Reina doing

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 fumbling at Bolton? Comedy of errors with our goalie
and Sammi Hyppia dithering like Traore at Turf Moor!
Save us the humiliation, lads — come out triumphant

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 at Luton. Begin the Reds’ march to FA Cup glory!

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Christopher T. George

Notes

“RAFA BENITEZ has promised to send out his big guns at Luton, after admitting last season’s early FA Cup exit was the ‘lowest point’ of his Anfield reign.”
In “Benitez plans to field his big guns” by Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo, January 6 2006.
