Dancing with Wolves - Liverpool 2-0 Wolves

Big Mick ditched his Old Trafford team
Hoping Anfield would be short shrift
Cash in on the lack of confidence
But Rafa unwrapped his festive gift

For Aquilani at last the amphitheatre
On Boxing day he ran and ran
Reds laboured till Ward’s red card
Rafa booed for pointing the right man

Pepe too galloped sixty yards
Correct ref calls we want, don’t we?
Stevie calmed shot nerves Toshack style
Jumping to the top of the Christmas tree

We were top Boxing day last year
Boosted Reds released the clutch
Enthralled with Yossi’s deflection
Entranced with Pacheco’s touch
