Beat Lawro 33
Some quick tips! Lawro's mentioned where relevant
Villa v Wolves
Fairly obvious choice - I've gone for three, even if Martin does have a million games in March - 3-0
Everton v Bolton
Everton have turned it on lately, can't see past a home win against Bolton - 2-0
Portsmouth v Hull
Relegation special - new manager at Hull, in a way it'll be nice to have the big lug on MOTD every week, but this is one of the few Pompey could expect to have a chance of winning, and there's no need for nerves at Pompey now - their players are in the shop window now, as usual with Hull, don't bet on anything...except Jimmy Bullard - 2-1
Stoke v Spurs
Spurs are rubbish away, and Defoe is injured, among others, in fact, their injury list looks a little like this:
Bentley, Jenas, Lennon & Woodgate (all groin), Cudicini (broken wrists), Defoe (hamstring), Huddlestone (ankle), King (thigh), Rose (knee), Walker (arm) and Stoke are particularly tough away, I don't fancy many goals - 1-0
Sunderland v Birmingham
We finally differ - he's gone for the Cats, I've gone for the good team - really does depend on the day 1-2
Wigan v Burnley
Oh god, if anyone is going to cock-up Burnley at home it's Wigan - it could be 7-0, it could be 0-1, or anything inbetween - I'm 3-1
Arsenal v West Ham
Surely a question of 'how many'? 3-1
United v Liverpool
Lawro has, as always, gone for the one-all, despite there not being a single 'big 4' draw all season as yet - not that it won't happen, Liverpool will show up with 7 centre backs and chuck it to Torres, so I don't expect fireworks, I'm favouring United 2-1
Fulham v City
Hard to call, City are all over the place still - their one away win against a league side in 2010 came against...Chelsea, and then they can't beat Sunderland...(although I would point out Liverpool are worse away...losing seven!) and Fulham are decent at home - but they should be tired after that Juve game, I'm going for the draw 1-1 (Lawro 0-2)
Blackburn v Chelsea
Tough game for Chelsea, I work with a Chelsea fan who's convinced they're going to throw the title away - this would be a good place to start, but I'm going with form, and a response to the Inter defeat 1-2
Villa v Wolves
Fairly obvious choice - I've gone for three, even if Martin does have a million games in March - 3-0
Everton v Bolton

Just Nine this week...
Chelsea v Man City (1245 GMT)
City on the road? Don't make me laugh
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0
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
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
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)
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 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
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
Finally a win for Sunderland is due, hopefully
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 2-0
Carling Cup Final
Aston Villa v Man Utd (1500 GMT)
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
Last week Lawro got seven right, three perfects = 11

Beat Lawro week 29
Standings
28 weeks played, 276 matches
17-11 to Tarquin
Lawro - 144 right, 34 perfects - 103 points
Tarquin - 148 right, 36 perfects - 114.5 points
 |
Even with Arsenal's dodgy patch lately, can't see past a home win, particularly with Sunderland's away form - though they could get a goal, everybody gets a goal at the Emirates
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 3-1
Everton v Manchester United
 |
Difficult, Everton are solid and I'm favouring them very slightly based on United's weaknesses and that tough European game midweek, but this could easily go either way
Verdict: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-0
Portsmouth v Stoke
 |
Stoke's last three games have all been 1-1, even if they're not great away they've clung on at City, Wigan and Sunderland, so surely at Portsmouth they'll at least get the point too
Verdict: 1-1
Tarquin: 1-1
West Ham v Hull
 |
A good old six pointer, which usually results in a two-pointer - but both these sides are decent at home and poor away, and the Hammers are picking up a bit so I'll plump for a home win
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin; 1-0
Wolves v Chelsea
 |
Even if Chelsea are prone to slip-ups on the road I think they'll beat Wolves, simple as that really
Verdict: 0-2
Tarquin 1-2
SUNDAY
Aston Villa v Burnley
 |
Villa may rest some players...will that be a fine? Anyway, it's hard to see anything but a home win, even if they have got one eye on two big cup games
Verdict: 2-0
Tarquin: 3-0
Blackburn v Bolton
 |
Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 2-1
Fulham v Birmingham
 |
Anyone's guess, Fulham may be tired from Thursday, but we don't know what's going to come out of the Midlands this week - my gut is with the home side
Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin; 1-0
Manchester City v Liverpool
 |
Frankly I'm amazed that Mancini is still in a job seeing as he's responsible for fifty percent of City's losses already, but I'll never get that sacking...ho hum, anyway, Liverpool lumber from problem to problem, and play on Thursday..so they'll probably win, but I reckon another tetchy draw for City
Verdict: 2-2
Tarquin: 1-1
Wigan v Tottenham
 |
I'm going for another dull 0-0
Verdict: 2-1
Tarquin: 0-0
