Red dawn - Premiership kick off 2009/10

So we usher in once again
Yelping at once in unison
Waking up merrily to greet
The dawn of a new season

Anfield Road regulars have tried
With daytrips to the seashore
Now no struggle to fill the void
As the Shankly gates open once more

Isolation is now a distant thought
As the carnival promptly arrives
Sure as Autumn follows summer
The faithful will rise up and strive

With every possible angle covered
Analysed with pinpoint scrutiny
Every jerk, punch, pinch discussed
All this just for you and me

El Nino will blow away all
The bull Masch clouded in red
9 months of pure destruction
Leaving the rest for dead

Tight fisted Pepe will shut up shop
Carra will command Rafa's crew
Intricate Aqua will orchestrate
As the fans cry 'Xabi who'?

Fancy three minutes with Martin Skrtel?
Complimented by Agger's classy play
With Dirk Kuyt the lone forager
Kaiser Gerrard will lift it in May.

Number 7
