Lawro and degenerate Predictions v Sunderland

Postby Wonderwall » Fri Aug 12, 2016 10:16 am

BBC have had a brain transplant putting a city fan up first from the indie band the blossoms.

Blossoms singer and guitarist Tom is a former Manchester City season ticket holder, who grew up idolising former striker Paul Dickov.

"I wrote his name on the back of my City shirt in black marker," Ogden told BBC Sport. My mum wasn't too happy about that.

"I don't miss those days when we were struggling, though. You want to be winning the league, don't you? Dickov is still my hero because he was playing for us when I first got into football but Sergio Aguero is the man.

"Obviously there is a charm in being everyone's second favourite team when you are in Division One but I much prefer to be where we are now, with Pep Guardiola as manager and having won the title twice in the past four years."

Bass player Charlie supports his home town team despite County's drop into non-league football, but also follows Liverpool.

"I'm biased but I'd love to see us win the league," he explained. "That's not just because I am a fan but for Jurgen Klopp's sake - I think he is such a character, he is good for the game."

Lawro says

There are high expectations for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City this season but you have to remember he has never managed in the Premier League before and it is different to La Liga and the Bundesliga.

It may take time but if he can get City pressing the opposition with the players they have got, then they will win the league.

This is a tough start for David Moyes in his first game as Sunderland manager but I think he will sort them out. I remember when he took charge of Everton in 2002, and his buying and selling then was excellent.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0


However, Mr insightful mersons says

Man City v Sunderland - Saturday, 5.30pm

There won't be a lot between the two teams in this match. David Moyes' Sunderland will go to the Etihad to make it hard for Man City, but as the game goes on, I think Pep Guardiola's side will break them down.

They will be patient, and to be fair to Moyes, it's not the best of starts for Sunderland.

City 2 -0 Sunderland

Nice one, mate. Feels like the season has finally begun now that we know what the man with the longest lasting hangover in history thinks about our upcoming game.

Feels like the start of the season with the return of the gruesome twosome.

Both as insightful as ever, especially DC with his "there won't be much between the sides". Did he not see any Sunderland games last season?

Thank goodness some things never change, like Lawro's 2-0.
