Lawro and Degenerate predictions gameweek 16
Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2015 10:58 amLawro's opponents for this weekend's Premier League fixtures are RAG TWATS Marcus Mumford and Winston Marshall from indie band Mumford & Sons.
Both men grew up as Manchester United fans. Well of course they did, Marcus was born in California and brought up in London and Winston was born and bred in Fulham. Surprised? No, I didnt think so.
Lawro has been on the laughing gas again this week and Merson is being a lazy twat and just copying Lawro. They do say that plagiarism is the biggest form of flattery.

I have a bit of sympathy for Garry Monk, whose reign as Swansea boss ended on Wednesday.
The Swans are not struggling because one or two of their attacking players are out of form, but because four or five of them are. That is unlucky, and not really Monk's fault, but the upshot is that they have stopped scoring.
It is not long since Monk was being talked about as being the next England manager but we have seen again how a few bad results can quickly change the opinion of fans and the people in the boardroom - it is just part of a Premier League manager's life, I'm afraid.
As for Manchester City, they have been very up and down recently and seem to have a problem when the opposition stop them playing.
They have got to learn to overcome that and be prepared to fight harder to get the upper hand in matches.
I don't see that being a problem for them against Swansea, though, and Monk's departure will not make any difference to the outcome.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0
Mumford & Sons' prediction: (Winston) Man City will have something to prove after losing at Stoke last week. I don't want them to win, but I think they will. Swansea have been awful. 3-0

Swansea; no manager and can't buy a win. I see the misery continuing here before they get a new man in.
Manchester City were good in the second half against Borussia Monchengladbach, despite getting battered at Stoke. But with Wilfried Bony against his old team, I can't see anything other than a win.
City don't really play attacking, free-flowing football away from home, and don't score many on their travels either. Sometimes they don't pick themselves up, but I can see it here.
PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0
