Lawro's usless prediction

[Toronto Villa]

Here's Lawro's usually useless prediction for this weekends game

Newcastle v Aston Villa (1330 BST)

 
For half an hour at Manchester United on Monday, Newcastle were competitive and looked difficult to break down. Once they conceded, though, they never looked like scoring themselves and ended up losing 3-0. With home advantage this weekend, I expect them to give Aston Villa a physical battering, especially with Andy Carroll leading the attack.

I know Kevin McDonald well from our days together at Liverpool and I wonder if his relative lack of managerial experience could harm his chances of getting the Villa job on a full-time basis. It is going to be an interesting season for Villa. They have just signed midfielder Stephen Ireland from Manchester City - a good buy, in my opinion - but have they finished selling players?

Prediction: 2-1

When was the last night any team gave us a physical battering? And when did Andy Carroll become John Carew?

[Brend'Watkins]

Yeah, seen Richard Dunne earlier, absolutely bricking it at the thought of being up against Andy Carroll.

[Concrete John]

He wasn't too far wrong for West Ham (predicted 2-0 Villa win), but I think he will be this time.

[Fingers]

Of all the things you could say about Villa, we're no soft touch anymore.  Then again it is the Uber cock Lawro.

[German James]

The man really is an arse! He has banged on about playing with MacDonald for a week now- he told that tedious "Albert" story TWICE. There must be some ex-players out there who fancy the job of pundit and aren't as unbareable as the present lot, surely?

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

He has a face with the expression of a bloodhound in need of anti depressants and a hairstyle that would provide him with total camouflage if you stood him next to a thatched roof country cottage. With his slow monotone dreay voice and accent he really must be the most boring football pundit out there, and my god we have had a few.

I assume that piece is taken from BBC teletext page 302 ? Whilst I disgree with the content, may i suggest that teletext is probably the one branch of the media he can be shuffled off to. Because he does not have the face for TV, neither does he have the voice for radio either.

Up yours Lawro !

[Richard E]

What is the relevance to the Newcastle result of whether we will sell any more players?

[darren woolley]

He is a useless bag of air we will prove him wrong on sunday.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Yeah, seen Richard Dunne earlier, absolutely bricking it at the thought of being up against Andy Carroll.

A laugh out loud moment. Thanks Bren.

'Always look on the bright side of life' Lawro !

Does he get paid for this bollox ?

Alas, yes he does. With your TV licence money (you do still have that don't you). Fortunately for me I've skipped the country.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Lawro as useless as ever.

When we want some dismally unfunny puns or advice on the colour schemes of soft furnishings, we'll let you know.

A T.V license might have different meaning for Lawro!

[damon loves JT]

I thought I saw him during the world cup narrating a history of the Boer War. Either that or I was having another Spion Kop flashback

Haaaaaahaha! Gold.
