LOL at Lolro

Just FYI, this is the fourth 1-1 draw Lawro has predicted for us in the last five games. The only one he didn't predict 1-1 for was Norwich - he said they'd beat us 1-0. The result? 1-1.

 

We are ahead of QPR in his table on goal difference.

Mersons Prediction

Ford Football Special: Tottenham v Newcastle

12pm, Sat, Sky Sports 2 HD & Sky 3D

I find it strange that Tottenham didn't buy a forward in January. They're really struggling for strikers at the moment.

 

Jermain Defoe is injured, Emmanuel Adebayor has just got back from Africa and the only other options are Clint Dempsey or a youngster. I just wonder if that will damage their hopes of getting in the top four?

 

They should almost be a shoe-in for a Champions League spot because Arsenal have rarely been this bad, Everton are punching above their weight and Liverpool seem too far away. For me, Spurs were a centre-forward away from a guaranteed top-four spot!

 

They will miss Defoe massively and you're putting a lot of pressure on Gareth Bale to be the main man. They can't keep relying on him all the time.

 

On Saturday they play a Newcastle team that's doing well. I wondered how quickly the lads from France would settle, but you've got to hold your hands up to the scouts because they've been outstanding so far.

 

They beat Aston Villa and Chelsea and are right out of the relegation battle now, so they've lifted the pressure on themselves. The last place you want to go when you're struggling is White Hart Lane, but maybe they will take the game to Tottenham because of the lack of attacking options?

 

Alan Pardew does like to have a go; I can't see him going there to play for a draw, but I'm predicting a narrow Tottenham win. It will be tight though, and it wouldn't surprise me if the loss of Defoe comes back to haunt them.

That's exactly what I see Pardew doing. Now that we've won 2 games in a row, and thus the pressure is little bit off, I don't think he'll be taking too many chances with our play.

Reckons Spurs will run wild over us, 3-0.

He'll be basing that on the pathetic surrender last season - where Spurs had to only LOOK at the ball and it was in the net. Fulham was even worse. Be closer this time, but still V. Tough. They're very organized and playing well.

 

..... I wouldn't be surprised if a few of their injured players come back quicker now their places are under threat.

My thoughts too, this. Many players milk it and want to stay out of it when the going is tough

We got dicked last season due to Pardew going with the 4-2-3-1 with Perch and Guthrie in the middle iirc.

Probably more to do with being Hulk Hogan.

Newcastle v Southampton

 

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1

 

If Southampton win this game and then beat QPR, then that should be safety assured with 10 games to go. Newcastle will also look at this as a big chance to make sure they're still in the Premier League next season, but some of the players and staff will have made a long trip into Russia on Thursday night and they need to be out there at 1.30pm on Sunday, which is an awkward time (you end up eating pasta at 9.30am, which is pretty weird...) This is a good time for Southampton to go there, but I'm just leaning towards Newcastle with home advantage.

 

What a shit read that was :lol:

Until about a year ago he'd spent three years swearing blind that Gerrard was the best player in the world, based on the fact that, "Jeff I just think, for me Jeff, hes my favourite player by a million miles, for me."

Lawro predicts:

 

New Southampton manager Mauricio Pochettino has done really well since he came in - only one defeat in four.

 

His side were slightly unlucky against Wigan, Manchester United and Everton, but they very comfortably beat Manchester City.

 

This is a tough match for the Saints though. Newcastle made some decent signings in the transfer window and upped the ante both in the dressing room and on the pitch.

 

Magpies manager Alan Pardew hasn't got too many players out injured and there is now competition for places.

 

2-0
