Beat Lawro 30

I'm being sloppy..

Last week Lawro got seven right, three perfects = 11
Tarquin got eight right, no perfects... = 8.5

Standings

29 weeks played, 286 matches
17-12 to Tarquin

Lawro - 151 right, 37 perfects - 114 points
Tarquin - 156 right, 36 perfects - 123 points


Just Nine this week...

Chelsea v Man City (1245 GMT)
Chelsea v Man City

City on the road? Don't make me laugh

Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0


Birmingham v Wigan
Birmingham v Wigan


Birmingham have lost some of that magic form, but they're under no pressure - I think this game will put them past the holy 40 point mark




Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-0




Bolton v Wolverhampton
Bolton v Wolverhampton

A must win for Bolton, if you can't beat Wolves at home then who can you beat?

...Burnley is the answer, but this is a six-pointer and although Wolves stand a chance I'm going for a home victory


Verdict: 2-0

Tarquin: 2-0

Burnley v Portsmouth
Burnley v Portsmouth

Yes Lawro...Pompey could be dangerous...

Granted they could do something at Burnley this week, and I've gone for a stalemate (although I've backed Burnley in other comps) but in general, they're as rubbish as always - they simply do not have quality - this is game 27 Lawro and I've been right 23 of those - stick with the numbers!! They're crap, not unlucky

Verdict: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-1



Stoke v Arsenal (1730 GMT)
Stoke v Arsenal

One would think Arsenal would come back against Stoke, but that's assuming they are Chelsea, or United, or Villa...not Arsenal, who haven't been able to handle a physical game in about seven years, they don't even have that hard-man, Gallas, available - they can of course win, but I'd favour ze bullies

Verdict: 0-2
Tarquin: 2-1



SUNDAY
Tottenham v Everton (1300 GMT)
Tottenham v Everton

Tottenham are good at home and I think Everton are likely to be fatigued, but both teams are suffering with injuries - if there's no Defoe or Crouch as well as Lennon, Cahill, Fellaini...then this could be dull, home win for me

Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 1-0



Liverpool v Blackburn
Liverpool v Blackburn

Lawro thinks Liverpool are playing well? Based on the game with City, Arsenal or the Romanian nobodies? They'll still win, but Lawro's still an idiot

Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0



Sunderland v Fulham
Sunderland v Fulham

Finally a win for Sunderland is due, hopefully

Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0




Carling Cup Final
Aston Villa v Man Utd (1500 GMT)
Aston Villa v Manchester United

This should be one of the best Carling Cup finals we've seen in years - Villa have got a really good chance and this will be all about the effectiveness of Rooney and if Villa can get past the ramshackle defence, there will be goals! (I hope) - I'm an old romantic and am backing Villa

Verdict: 1-2
Tarquin: 3-2
