Well, it’s the FA Cup Third Round and Mark Lawrenson is back with his FA Cup special. I have to say, last year it messed up his season, because there’s so many games and Lawro tends to hit the post more often than score a hat-trick. We have some big games this weekend, but it’s going to be interesting to see the strength of the teams that the big guns put out. The gulf between the so-called weaker teams and the Premiership sides’ second string isn’t too big as we’ve seen in the past, so if there are some weaker sides put out, prepare for some shocks.
Lawro has been on a bit of a winning streak right now, but I have to admit that I have been waiting for it to come to a spectacular end. Yes, I’m sure it’ll happen this week, because it didn’t happen last week. Worryingly, he didn’t make a loss either. Yes, Lawro, in his second midweek prediction column, managed to break even, which, for fans of the Lawro Audit, will know it’s as good as a win. The main reason is that he got the correct score in the Stoke vs Watford game at 15/2, which always helps. Lawro also predicted a win for Tottenham over Chelsea, which paid a nice 7/4, too. So Lawro stays on a profit of +27.10 units, for the season, which will no doubt be decimated by the end of the FA Cup Third Round.

You know, with all these predictions, I’ll just leave it at that. Needless to say, I can’t see Lawro turning a profit here, but then I’ve been thinking that quite a bit lately and he’s been pulling out the wins recently, so what do I know about Lawro’s predictions? He’s went for a few outsiders, with Norwich to win and also Sheffield Wednesday to win, so if he can cop a correct score there, then he should surely crack a profit for the FA Cup Third Roud.
