Balloon punctures Red march - Sunderland 1-0 Liverpool

Life proved a beach for the men from the Mersey
Out to prove they’re not a two man team
Reds flopped at the Stadium of Light
As 47,000 Black Cats took home the cream

Darren Bent did his prospects no harm
Ex Spur on a charge to enthral
Red hurls a round object on the grass
Thus the winner glances off a beach ball

With United heading the table
Anceloti’s men dropped three points
Devoid of injured Gerrard and Torres
The boys still managed to disappoint

Superfan Neil Wilkinson facebooked me
“Played off the park,” his signature tune
“You're not singing anymore,” was the chant
“Liverpool’s best player was the balloon”

Rafa refused to cite 'bad luck'
Still the goal was somewhat absurd
Dubious one by Bent or balloon
Were deflated but still undeterred
