The Reds line up
Two cities
In confrontation.

A war of words
Swamping the newspapers
In advance of the game.

Convinced
That their truth
Is the truth.

Riding high
Unbeaten
For so long.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Red two
Past glories abound
Slightly jaded.
Needing a kick-start.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Red one
Seemingly unbeatable.
Automatically arrogant
By virtue of position.

Been there, done it.
Needing to regain confidence
To assuage the fans fears.

Football needs to win.
So play the game lads
As it should be played.
