Roy warned us not to get giddy
After the Chelski elation on Sunday 
Quest for fourth win on the trot
To frustration on the Wednesday

Torres with a quickfire salvo
First away strike since the Spring
Inch perfect […]

Stoke first in twenty six years
Torres looked for three in three
Lucas dismally red carded
Halted Nando’s scoring spree

Fuller struck from a pinball move
Roy faced anxious withdrawal
Maxi came very close
Asmir […]

winters frost numbs time
gale force winds at paradise
nine past aberdeen

Number7
(c) Emdad Rahman

With the Drog on the bench
Was this West London’s Indian sign?
Kuyt assisted, Raul nicked Cole
Exquisite finishes from number nine

Ancelotti will rue and reflect
Past Pepe they could net get through
Brilliant f […]

Lower centenary on row nineteen
Seat 0215 amongst Anfield’s crowd
Making my Reds euro debut
I sat upright and so very proud

Andis hoped I liked Liverpool City
Yasmin saw me on the TV
Linny, Darren and Natha t […]

Three behind White Hart Spurs
Five behind fourth placed City
Three Reebok points via Maxi
Watch out Harry and Mancini

Cole out with a hamstring
Nando with an injury scare
Goal machine Kyrgiakos got […]

Alas the final bell rang
Tranquilly Paul bid all adieu
Time out for the Bookies nightmare
At the grand old age of two

Oberhausen’s clairvoyant Octopus
Mystic Paul with the uncanny knack
Eight world cup matches c […]

Resounded football’s greatest anthem
Gerry Marsden kindled the temperate zone
Now no need for a thumping team talk
With “You’ll never Walk Alone”

Rallying battle cry a sensation
Through Kyrgiakos a lead seized […]

New England (new) Sports Venture
John Henry changed the locks
Goodison for a fresh start
Roll on the Anfield Redsox

No more blaming the boardroom drama
Reds voluminous and fancy free
Cahill joy at Reds Blue
Woy […]

In his pomp I’d have paid to see
Rodney Marsh summed it to a tee

Hailed Big Mal ‘The Special One’
Of that era he was the showman

Clough like Mal often raised hell
Still inspired Moore and El Tel

Despite c […]

Well done to the Seaside resort
Tangerines charged with the baton
Blackpool victory at Anfield
And the Reds poor season goes on

Body blow with loss of Torres
Orange bright, showing no fear
Adam’s spot kick f […]

Horizons look bleak and gloomy 
Another day, another draw
Black Cats fought with fight
More Brucie’s Dogs of War

Bizarre strike from He Man
Turner’s backheeled free kick
Mignolet missing, Torres leapt
Kuyt f […]

On stage clash the greatest two ever
Hat tricks at Theatre of Dreams festival
Aroma of blood scented Nosferatu
Joyous Devils either side of the interval

Eager to patch defensive frailty
Redemption through the […]

No great welcome from Big Eck
Outplayed, outfought, outshone
Roy’s new era will still take time
As the Reds were left hanging on

Let us look no further than Pepe
Total brilliance to seal a point
Fingers, palm, e […]

Derby della Madonnia
‘Casciant’ Inter the bourgeoisie club
Even with Berlusconi at the helm
Milan the working class hub

For a while Inter played catch up
Sacchi’s Milan were the cream
During the eighties and nin […]

Stark footnote for the books
Fergie broke the Old Firm duopoly
Since Aberdeen won the title
Its been a quarter of a century

Midlothian so close in eighty six
Save a late brace by Albert Kidd
Celtic champs on […]

Franky’s journey began at Molenbeek
When he was still very much a pipsqueak

Thereafter he wore the national rouge
And a career move to Club Brugge

Four world cups, eighty six to ninety eight
Two golden shoes for […]

Raul presented to the faithful
Dane immediately taken to heart
Konchesky sat in the stands
Poulson made his first start

Scott Carson looked real handy
Zonal marking was not recalled
Morrison red-carded for a […]

Way back in the fifties
In the days of tolerant France
From Spanish Ma, Moroccan Pa
Led defences a merry dance

Knight of the French attack order
Justo Fontaine galloped with a lance
Yet an all time world cup […]

Кубок мира stalwart for USSR
Rinat Fayzrakhmanovich Dasayev
World number one in eighty eight
In the footsteps of the great Lev

Named six times best goalie by Ogonyok
“The Cat” from Spartak Moscow
Little way past […]
