Lawro & DC Predictions v Barcodes (H)

Postby Wonderwall » Fri Aug 31, 2018 1:36 pm

Lawro and Merson got their predictions wrong last week, as did we all I expect!! They are in Synch this week.

This week's guest is BBC Radio 1 presenter Greg James. Greg has just completed his second week as Radio 1's Breakfast Show host and he said: "The early
starts are fine once you get here. Getting here is the real pain, but it is a great fun job to do and I love it."

Greg is an Arsenal fan but admits he doesn't quite have the same passion for football as he did as a kid. "When Blackburn won the Premier League that was when I was obsessed with it," he added. "I was a proper Arsenal fan. I got all the sticker books I had all the kits but then I just sort of drifted.

Newcastle were smashed out of the Carabao Cup. I know they go on about Mike Ashley - and they have a point - but he isn't going to change. They have to get on with what they have got. This will be a very tough game.

Greg's prediction: 4-1
Lawro's prediction: 3-0


Merson Says

You have got to feel for the Newcastle fans. Fifty-five thousand supporters turn up every week and now they're out of the cup. Now it's a long season for them - last week's stats against Chelsea were bordering on atrocious. With 25 minutes played, it was 90 per cent possession to 10 per cent in favour of Chelsea. I've seen that in five-minute spells, I've never seen it in a 25-minute spell, ever.

Newcastle will go to the Etihad and defend, but Man City will break them down, 100 per cent. It's just when, and how many times. The Newcastle fans packed the away ends at Nottingham Forest [in the Carabao Cup], and they're out of the cup already. I think they'd probably rather win something and spend another season in the Championship than watch this every week at the moment.

PAUL PREDICTS: 3-0

3-0 would be fine.

I'm not sure why Rafa has gone ultra defensive, I know they have no quality but defence is not usually his forte.

Take the 3-0.

So Newcastle have 55000 fans each week? DC is still shit at maths then.

Greg James is a total bell end and a shit DJ on Radio one when he bothers to turn up ! 55,000 at St James Park ??? Don't think that has ever happened , must be more bullshit from the BBC and its crank staff ? I have nothing but respect for Newcastle fans and what they have to put up with and Newcastle is a fabulous friendly city , been a few times and love the place RESPECT !
Park the bus big time tactics from Rafa hopefully an early goal from city will shut the BBC wankers up !
Not really here

3-0 would be more than fine. It would be amazing. It will be hard enough to break them down.
