Friday Afternoon Clairvoyance with Sagacious Fletchinator II

I'm going to have to keep this post pretty short because it's not yet noon and I have to get ready to drink my face off.  So, for one week only, I will skip the flowery intro and get right down to the nitty-gritty: the games that matter to me.  One quick note before I start, football is dead to me right now.  After the Broncos received an ass-kicking at the feet of the Houston Texans (writing that makes me want to break a glass window with my face), I have no football to look forward to.  I'm am really looking forward to the mid-first round draft pick the Broncos get that makes no impact whatsoever.  Somewhere, Willie Middlebrooks nods his head in agreement.  That intro was a little more flowery than I had anticipated, so let's get to the games.

Liverpool vs Manchester United - The game if you care about the Prem.  It's been a long time since the Pool have been close to ManUre (haha, poop jokes, I just wish I could take credit for that) in the league table and a win at Anfield will bring them within three points of the defending champs.  After an inspiring win vs Marseille midweek, Liverpool should head into this game fairly confident.  A side note, the Fernando Torres boner counter is now at 359 after another sublime performance.

I love that man.

Prediction - As much as I hate Man U, they are a solid team, and I can see them scraping an away draw.  Final score: Liverpool 1-Man U 1.

My Roommates vs GMATs - Both my roommates are taking the GMATs this weekend and from what I can gather from the advance scouts, both have the chance to do well.  They had better because I don't want to deal their depressed asses until they take the test again.  I'm a positive person, I can't have my sanctuary fouled with negative thoughts.

Prediction - A solid performance from both leads to a festive celebration (see below) and good times that carry well on into the next year.

Fletchinator vs Friday Day Drinking - I like a good drink as much as the next guy.  A well-aged scotch or a robust port, for example.  I also like a challenge.  So when my roommates suggested an all day binge drink to commemorate their completion of the GMATs, I readily agreed.  Hell, I even took a day off from work to make sure I could attend.  So, this afternoon I plan on drinking beer and not stopping until I'm either dead or lying in a pile of trash somewhere.  Should be a good time.  

Prediction - A wise man once told me "When beer is involved, there are no losers."  Keeping that mantra in mind, I'm feeling pretty good about my chances of surviving.
