Trick or treat time in the Capital
Craven provides an eve of fright
Red trip down South for All Hallow’s Eve
Jack O’ Lanterns in the stands shine bright
Duff cross begins Snap Apple Night
Zamora drives home the pumpkin
Ghouls in Johnny Haynes screech and cackle
El Nino’s buckshot silences the din
Erik the Viking turns Grim Reaper
Thump before Degen saw Red
Crimson mist as Carra hits the shower
Dempsey seals it on the Festival of the Dead
Fifth loss one hell of a haunted hayroll
Garlic necklace to ward off the rotting?
Hodgson the Warlock hit the hammer with force
How Wolfman Gerrard must be hissing
Mr Maudes must have rued a few black cats
Missing Johnson, Aurelio, Skrtel
Further weakened with Lyon in mind
Torres sub was from the paranormal
The Gaffer reaches for the ghoul aid
“Boo” scrawled on a discarded ticket stub
“Grave problem,” the minority shriek
Positive still remain his fang club
Sure enough Rafa will raise the spirits
Were surely not out by a long sight
Steadfast in the Anfield hotseat
With him it was always love at first bite
