Sunderland v. Liverpool - running diary

So the game this week starts at 6:45 this morning, and Reuter and possibly Faber are coming by to watch. Tony said he might come, but I got a text message from Fubar last night saying he and Tony were doing karaoke at Full Schilling at 12:30 AM, so he is doubtful.

6:30 - Watching the weekly EPL preview show on FSC, which I recorded early this morning. Also still pounding water. I'm trying to put away a gallon before people show up and I have to start with the mimosas.

6:35 - Reuter's here, and he's soaked. That poncho is a little short.

6:45 - Gametime, and Reuter is pouring the biggest mimosa EVER. That's what happens when the host doesn't own champaign glasses.

6:47 - Pool almost scores in the first minutes. Sunderland's goalie looks like he knows he's going to get bombarded today. And that's with 4 Pool starters resting!

7:06 - 0-0. Reuter is expecting a blowout and he's getting REALLY cranky.

7:25 - Pool scores FINALLY at 36:00. Reuter is excited, to say the least.

8:15 - Still 1-0 Pool. Reuter just spent 15 minutes trying to find EPL games near London for his weekend there in September, but such a task will take all of his sober Google skills and the resources of PwC at his disposal.

8:32 - 2-0, Pool ay 86:00. Vronen (or something) on the goal. We are excited, because it means another Jagerbomb before 9 AM. Also, it's a nice insurance goal.

8:45 - Game over, 2-0 Pool. Last update in this post. 1.5 bottles of Andre and 3 JB's apiece, and now another big game is coming on with Arsenal v. Man City. We're only getting drunker! Have a great day.

So many questions left unanswered...Did you successfully finish a gallon of water before the party started? Did Tony show up after a night of karaoke? Did Faber make it?
Your readers want to know!!!!!!!!
