Lawro's Prediction for Spurs v Aston Villa

[THFC6061]

Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa (Monday, 20:00 GMT)

Harry Redknapp will probably be back in the dugout for Spurs, subject to doctors approval, and Spurs will want a home win to keep the pressure on the rest of the top sides.

Ledley King will have had a nice two-week break and he has shown again this season just what a top player he is.

Tottenham are looking a top-four team at the moment but it is going to be tougher than ever to get into the Champions League this season and it will go to the wire.

Villa have made a bit of a cautious start but in Gabriel Agbonlahor and Darren Bent they have good attacking options and they will be fine. Their fans will have to accept that they are looking at a good run in the cups and a top seven or eight finish because it's just not possible to finish any higher at the moment.

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Aston Villa


This is the seventh consecutive game which Lawro has us down for a win.

Here are all of Lawro's 2011-12 Premier League predictions, together with how the League Table would look like if his 120 forecasts were all correct:

Newcastle only have 10 points in the table according to Lawro!

My gut feeling is that this is going to be a very tricky encounter for us.

Indeed!

I think this is a very tough game. Our players looked jaded before the break, and with PArker, Modric and Walker featuring heavily its not exactly like they have had a much needed rest.
Hopefully the extra 2 day break this weekend helps us out. And if Gabby is out injured thats a massive boost for us.

My gut feeling is that this is going to be a very tricky encounter for us.

That's the correct gut feeling for all true Tottenham fans.
Even when we are 2-0 up with five minutes to go my gut feeling is that we will probably blow it.
Fulham was the exception that proves the rule.

Do we really need another thread for this?

The 'Lawro Thread' not working or something?

 

[OmarsComing]

every week he does it.

i sent him a pm with a link to the lawro thread but he still creates a new thread so he can spam his excellent site.

He's got a reputation beyond repute. You can't argue with that.

THFC6061 is the man for stats on here, but I do wish he wouldn't try to shove it down people's necks all day

 

[sloth]

Lawro's predicted a loss for Toon in seven of their last matches; it's one thing to not have predicted their success at the start of the season, but another to not have reset that opinion since.

Hardly. His/her contributions are class IMO. You don't have to look at them if you don't want to.

Absolutely, nothing against a statician. Problem with starting a Lawro thread every week though when we already have one that is always on the front page around game time.

Fair enough. Keeps the thread merging mods on their toes though. :wink:
