Why does he hate Southampton (18th, wtf) and Hull (7 points) so much?
Also baffling to see Sunderland in 14th, him and Moyes must be the only people who think there decent

Clearly the tache'd nob thinks it's still the 1970's.

Only way of explaining how he thinks Liverpoop are still all conquering and Sunderland are half decent.

Chelsea v Tottenham (FA Cup, 17:15 BST)

I have heard people say that, if Tottenham beat Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final, it will help them win the Premier League too.

Personally, I don't think the outcome of this game will make any difference whatsoever to the title race.

Chelsea struggled last weekend in their defeat against Manchester United, and since then it has emerged that some of their players were suffering from a virus.

I quite like the fact that Blues boss Antonio Conte did not use it as an excuse after the game, and I also don't think they will play as badly again here.

FA Cup semi-finals are horrible games to play in because all everyone is thinking about is how the final is so close.

They are nearly always tight and this one will be the same. I am going to go with Chelsea to win it - but it will be very extremely close.

Lawro's prediction: 1-1* Chelsea to win after extra-time and penalties

Aaaahh!!! That's more like it. Back to backing our opponents. I can enjoy my day and the semi. ;)

A draw on Sunday. And so says Ted Hastings, who can't even spot rogues and moles in his own command, and spends far too long being obstinate before eventually accepting Arnott's hunches. Hardly a reliable guide.

Seriously how is this man still allowed to talk about football? Surely he must look at his league table and think, hmm maybe it's time that I don't just say Liverpool will win no matter who they are playing.

Can you imagine if Liverpool get in the Champs League and play Barca away, his prediction would be:

"Barcelona are the best team in the world, the Nou Camp is one of the most difficult stadiums to go to, Liverpool have just lost away at Hull and got battered by Palace but I think they will win this one..."

Barcelona 0 - Liverpool 7.

About time this man got his P45 as it makes my brain hurt thinking that he gets paid to try and tell people about football!

Liverpool continue their unbeaten streak, 1-2 vs Watford this weekend :D

Should fire Klopp and put Lawro in charge.

West Ham United v Tottenham Hotspur (20:00 BST)

West Ham have only won one of their past 11 games and speculation over manager Slaven Bilic's future does not look like it is going away.

Tottenham, meanwhile, just keep on winning - if they pick up three points at the London Stadium, it would be their 10th victory in a row.

Spurs don't concede many goals and the way they are winning is very impressive, as well as the results themselves. It is very difficult not to back them at the moment.

I still think the title is beyond Tottenham because I do not see Chelsea slipping up - but I don't see Mauricio Pochettino's side dropping points either.

Lawro's prediction: 0-2

Was expecting a 1-1 prediction after what he said, would have been classic Lawrenson.

This week's predictions are out (with Andy 'Dullard' Murray), and you have got to be fair to Lawro, he has stepped up his trolling game by a couple of notches for the final match at the Lane, with some deliberately antagonistic comments aimed right at us. But like the Murphys, he's not bitter...

Tottenham v Man Utd (16:30 BST)

It is Tottenham's final game at White Hart Lane but the occasion should not surprise most of the Manchester United players because they played - and lost - in West Ham's last game at Upton Park at the end of last season too.

I have been saying for a while now that I don't buy Jose Mourinho's comments about the size or strength of his squad, and I don't see United's Europa League campaign as an excuse if they miss out on the top four.

Mourinho said he would rest a lot of players against Arsenal last weekend but when you totalled up starting appearances by both teams, United's players had made 226 more appearances than the Gunners' side - that says it all about his so-called weakened team.

Tottenham's defeat and performance at West Ham was a disappointing end to their title hopes but I think we have seen enough from them this season to expect a response, especially at home where they have won 16 and drawn two of their 18 league games so far.

I always enjoyed going to White Hart Lane as a player, because they would always let you play - I don't recall losing many times there with Liverpool.

One memory that stands out is from a game in the 1980s where Kenny Dalglish got absolutely lumped by Tottenham defender Graham Roberts, who was part centre-half, part assassin.

About 30 seconds later, a certain G. Souness got his revenge on Roberts with a very similar sort of tackle. As was often the case, that was the end of that matter.


Lawro's prediction: 2-1

Andy's prediction: My coach is a United fan and my physio is a Tottenham fan, so I hear a lot about both of these teams.

Spurs are at home, in the last ever game at White Hart Lane, and with Jose Mourinho involved it is going to be a tight match - I'm going to go for yet another draw. 1-1
