Beat Lawro week 22

I'm lagging behind - still got more tips right, and I've won more weeks, but Lawro has the perfect scores...and the points tally

Must do better

Standings

21 weeks played, 204 matches
13-8 to Tarquin

Lawro - 107 right, 24 perfects - 74 points
Tarquin - 108 right, 20 perfects - 67.5 points


Stoke - Liverpool (1245)
Stoke v Liverpool

Was Lawro quite so damning about his old side back at the start of the season? - 'take out Torres and Gerrard and they'd be halfway up the table' - I don't recall that one, his mate McNulty was even tipping them after their second place last year - so I don't read too much into Lawro's latest insight, the little old lady at the bus stop could tell you how rubbish they are right now after the Champions League, and now FA cup, crash and burns - I do agree Stoke are going to fancy this

Lawro: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-0


Chelsea - Sunderland
Chelsea v Sunderland 
Can't see beyond a Chelsea win here, it's only Sunderland




Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0 

Manchester United - Burnley
Man Utd v Burnley

Honeymoon periods are not 'miracles'

Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 3-0


Portsmouth - Birmingham
Portsmouth v Birmingham

Birmingham's legs have got to give eventually, but Portsmouth just got through a tiring match with Coventry and aren't exactly strong - I can see a slip up for the golden boys, but I think another draw for the Blues (the Midland ones)

Lawro: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-1


Tottenham - Hull
Tottenham v Hull City


I only see a Tottenham win here




Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 3-0



Wolves - Wigan
Wolves v Wigan

Difficult one this, Wolves are a decent side who can deal with weaker sides - but this all depends on which Wigan side turns up, their past three games have been draw, loss, win - and they haven't won two in a row all season so Wolves are definitely favourites here, but I think it might be a fairly dull draw

Lawro: 2-1
Tarquin 1-1


Everton - Manchester City (1730)
Everton v Man City

Finally, a decent test for Mancini - and I don't think he'll pass, there's little to suggest he's made City decent on the road, Everton are very good at picking up draws, but not the wins, so another draw

Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin 1-1


SUNDAY
Aston Villa - West Ham (1330)
Aston Villa v West Ham

Villa, surely shouldn't haven't a problem with the Hammers

Lawro: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0


Blackburn - Fulham
Blackburn v Fulham

Fulham have had a nice rest, Blackburn played, well...tonight, so I think they'll be tired - and what's this nonsense about Allardyce? 13th in the league, Carling Cup semis, what more do you want? However I doubt Fulham will get their second away win, draw for me again


Lawro: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-1


Bolton - Arsenal (1600)
Bolton v Arsenal


Should be fun, can Arsenal get three up north? They rarely do, so another draw for me!




Lawro: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-1
