Lawro takes on a cockney rag twat this week, comedian Nish Kumar . Kumar - who appears in the new series of 'Live at the Apollo' - is a Manchester United fan.
He told BBC Sport: "I became a United fan because I grew up in the tradition Mancunian suburb of Croydon.

West Ham collapsed against Everton in midweek, and they are another team that needs to see December as a kind of damage-limitation period, and then try to solve their problems in the January transfer window.
Their forthcoming fixtures are not exactly helpful from that point of view, though, starting at Etihad Stadium and then with home games against Chelsea and Arsenal.
Southampton and Huddersfield have shown in the past week how teams can make it difficult for Manchester City, even if Pep Guardiola's side still beat them both in the end.
I don't think the Hammers have got the personnel to do that, though.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0
Nish's prediction: The phrase 'cricket score' springs to mind. 5-1

West Ham were atrocious at Everton apart from a 20-minute spell after half-time. I dread to think what's going to happen here against a team with such a ruthless mentality like City. They could have a field day. I'm going for 4-0.
PAUL PREDICTS: 4-0 (12/1 with Sky Bet)
