Challenge Lawro Week 18 – Calm before the storm

Week 18

18th DECEMBER 2010

Some late-morning preddos to get us started this weekend with elated comment on the trip to Utd and thoughts on our clash with the Orks this afternoon to follow.

We beat Lawro by the narrowest of margins last week as a lack of ambition with Chelsea-Spurs and what turned out to be a foolhardy surplus of hope with us and utd came back to bite us where it hurts. Still week on week, a lead is a lead, as Alex Ferguson would tell you.

There’s not a great pick of ties this week until the big boys play each other on Sunday, a couple of scrappers aside. I’d like to go for another dispiriting score draw on the big match but a sense of revenge and pragmatism is leading me towards a Utd loss. Gifting Chelsea good wishes is surely the kind of bad karma that sees you reincarnated as a gnat but times must and all that.

Anything less than a home win for us against the chain gang that is Stoke is inconceivable.

Let’s take them to school,,,chances are most of them haven’t been after all.

For anyone new to the party this is where we pit our minds against the greatest of all ex-moustachioed pundits to see whether the preddo’s really do maketh the man. Every week Mark will whisper his crazy predictions to a junior BBCfootball.com writer and we’ll try our best to beat him, or at least not fall asleep. You can see how [badly] we get on in running totals down the sidebar every week.

Think you know / knew better – have a go yourselves in the comments. You can’t be worse than those drunks on the cream sofa…or us.
