I thought they had been ended like a fair bit of the BBC's football blogs, but Lawro's useless predictions are back
Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that it is too laboursome to post them every week, as much as I love to prove him wrong, it was hard work typing it all out, and I don't have the time anymore - and this week I found myself hoping it had finished - a sure sign it was time to stop
I will still follow them and attempt to beat him, but no more weekly blogs

End of Season
It's all over!
I haven't counted yet, but I'm confident
Tarquin and Lawro both got 6 right
Lawro got 2 perfect, Tarquin only one
Tarquin = 4.5
Lawro = 6
Lawro wins the final week! A shame to not end on a high
Final Standings
40 weeks played, 391 matches
22-17 to Tarquin (1 draw)
Lawro - 215 right, 48 perfects - 170.5 points
Tarquin - 218 right, 49 perfects - 179 points
It is however, a comprehensive victory - more right, more perfect, more points, and more weeks won
Whether it was on consistency, perfect scores, or just plain old right/wrong, I won!
It was however, far tighter than I had hoped
Tarquin got 55% right, 12.5% perfect
It's down 13 points on last season, although that was a late addition and this was the first full season, also my perfect ratio was up over 2% - which is excellent considering the larger number of games
Lawro is also down to just under 55% right, a slightly better loss than myself, but his perfects are way down - from 19% to 12.2%
I feel I must do better, at least 70% I think to be called a good tipper - perfect scores? I don't actually rate them that highly, it's principally luck, often the difference between 2-0, 2-1 or 3-0, and to be honest the more you get right, the more chance you get of a perfect score!
I also feel they weigh it down somewhat, Lawro got a lot of perfects during our test run last season, but far less tips right - that indicates that he's benefiting from pure luck, getting games like Chelsea v Wigan or Sunderland, which we can all call, spot on, while failing to analyse tighter games correctly
On to next year! (Or the world cup...)
