Mark Lawrenson sticks his scraggy old neck out
The BBC’s most bitter pundit reckons Birmingham are going to have their way with Arsenal. Agree?
The BBC’s very own Nostradamus of football, mystic Mark Lawrenson, has had his palms crossed with silver again, and after placing his enormous jewelled turban squarely on his head, has issued his weekly vision of the Premier League results. To his credit, he has broken with the pundits’ code of utter conformity, and has dared suggest Birmingham will turn Arsenal over. Most audacious, your All-Seeingness!
If you’d like to have a go at outwitting the sour one, here are his “visions.” Leave your thoughts in the comments box.
Birmingham 2 Arsenal 1
Fulham 1 West Ham 1
Liverpool 2 Boro 0
Portsmouth 2 Sunderland 0
Wigan 2 Derby 0
Newcastle 0 Man Utd 2
Reading 2 Villa 1
Blackburn 2 Bolton 1
Man City 1 Everton 0
(Carling Final) Tottenham 1 Chelsea 0

Ahh Mr Lawro! Probably the worst pundit and co commentater ever in the history of sport, anywhere in the world. I swear to god he singlehandedly reduced England to the crappiest football ever during the last world cup. The guy is a lunatic. The guy could bring down the mood at a rave! I have to mute the telly if i watch anything on the bbc.
Arsenal will win
portsmouth will draw
Newcastle will be drowning in utd’s wake
bolton will beat Blackburn
villa will beat reading
Please Lawro, shut up or cheer up!!! When you speak you make me feel weak and tired and i have to fight the urge to scoop my eyeballs out with a blunt spoon when you drone on!! Ssshhhh

you dont have to mute lawro because
1 he rarely says anything. even for a nice bbc pay packet he cant rustle up enough energy to string two sentences together. its all too tiresome for him to be bothered to tell us what he thinks
2 when words do come out, it’s a barely audible mumble of disdain for whatever he’s seen
you see, Lawro’s seen it all, been there, done it – the premier league offers no surprises for him. we are lucky he deems to lounge on the sofa spreading his cynicism at all
