As it stands:
9-6 to Tarquin
Lawro - 76 right, 15 perfects - 47 points
Tarquin - 76 right, 12 perfects - 42 points
Oh dear oh dear - Lawro's overtaken me and obtained a rare lead, I must improve

Can't say I care much about Beattie shenanigans - two goals all season, both against West Ham, I'm sure the defence can cope with an inconsistent Wigan side and snatch a goal or two
Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0

Birmingham, sitting pretty in 9th thanks to some solid defence, shouldn't be troubled by relegation hopefuls West Ham, whose sole away victory was on opening day, against Wolves. Birmingham have only scored more than once at home on one occasion - in fact their scoring record of five at home is incredible for their top-half position, even Wolves have scored more - and I don't expect West Ham to contribute to a 25% increase in goals conceded at St. Andrews
Lawro: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-0

It's about time City turned a corner and they finally did against Chelsea, perfect time to test out if they're capable of a top four finish by going to a side who've only picked up one point in three games.
Lawro: 0-2
Tarquin: 1-2

Apparently 7-goals-in-two-seasons Johnson makes all the difference to Fulham...Lawro must be a supporter of Zamora for England too...But anyway, Burnley could do with a win here, and they don't look like giving it up at home after that draw with Villa
Lawro: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-0

I would really like a draw here, but I'm too much of a coward to back it, considering Chelsea's form and Everton's frailties, Everton performed a nice comeback against Tottenham last week and hopefully they'll be motivated but Chelsea will surely be too much.
Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0

You can never predict Hull (unless they're away in which case they'll lose), but they should be favourites here, Blackburn are woeful on the road, but with the absence of the useful Bullard I think this might end in a draw
Lawro: 1-0
Tarquin: 1-1

I say this every week - Portsmouth have no quality and are bottom of the league for a reason, Sunderland are the highest scorers at home behind the top seven (or is that 'top six and Liverpool'?), and indeed the best side at home outside of the top five, their 'blips' have only really been away - Darren Bent exists to score goals against teams like this, I can't see them scoring less than three.
Lawro: 2-1
Tarquin: 4-1

Spurs, they have their frailties but at home they're mostly pretty good, and against Wolves there's nothing to discuss
Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 3-0
 |
A rare loss at Old Trafford could be on the cards here - an injury crisis in the defence could see a powerful attacking side like Villa get some goals - United are still a top side and even with a makeshift teamsheet can win matches, but I'd fancy a strong opponent to do well right now, I am however, a chicken, and going for the draw
Lawro: 1-1
Tarquin:: 1-1

Well this could be interesting, how Liverpool have gone from main rivals to the title to a fairly pathetic December seventh and a round 1 exit from the Champions League while only losing one player is beyond me, but they have. But that said, they can do over anyone on their day, and Arsenal are not good travellers, they're very happy at the Emirates, but weak on the road - and with no RVP (or even Bendtner) I have to favour a Liverpool side who should have Gerrard and Torres available, their weakness is consistency, not individual talent, as always
Lawro: 1-1
Tarquin: 2-1
