I think this is worth highlighting. No, our away record isn't outstanding this season, but I think it's an improvement on recent seasons? Indeed, the last time we lost away in the league was against City in January.
Ask and ye shall receive. Mystic Chicks - 15 correct predictions from 29 Lawrenson - 14 correct predictions from 29 Break down of the Mystic Chicks: George Co-Hen - 5 from 13 Brede Hen-geland - 1 from 3 Mark Sqwarkzer - 7 from 10 Kier-Hen Richardson - 1 from 1 Mladhen Peckric - 0 from 1 Hugo Rodal-egg-a - 1 from 1 Most interestingly of the 10 games called by Mark Sqwarkzer, Lawrenson called only 3 correctly!
I'm gonna have a stab at writing Lawro's next prediction for us. Fulham got a great away win at Tottenham last week thanks to Dimitar Berbatov. He's a player that can switch it on and change games. He doesn't play the game at the fastest speed but he doesn't need to. Their home form has continued to be solid if unspectacular this season but they always prove to be a challenge for any team that goes there. QPR will have been disappointed to have lost to Villa last week so will be even more up for this game than usual. Harry will have them pumped up for this one and I can just about see them squeezing out that vital win they so desperately need. 1-2
B.Hell, he's predicted a win for FFC! However, just as Bidley commented on Bandit's ghostwriting (above posting), Lawro spends all his time talking about his predicted losers and little about Fulham......GRRRRRR! There is a bit of a gap between QPR and safety after they lost to Aston Villa last time out but, in all honesty, I watched that game and in the first half hour QPR had enough chances to win it. If it wasn't for Villa keeper Brad Guzan, they would have done. Knowing QPR boss Harry Redknapp he will have kept his kept squad upbeat by saying exactly that, and a win for them here would change the whole look of things down the bottom again. I cannot see that happening, though. This is a derby and there is no love lost between the two sides. Fulham got a great result against Spurs in their last game and thoroughly deserved their victory. Because it is QPR, and because it will be a tense and tight affair, I fancy Fulham to win again. Maconie says: " Fulham and QPR are London teams of which I know and care little but think Fulham are too good for QPR." Score: 2-0 C O Y W !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried fellas, but he's surprised us all this week by undergoing a personality transplant and actually predicting us to win! Call me a pessimist (some of you will take me up on that) but I really can't see us winning this game. If we had lost to the Spuds maybe we could have nicked it this weekend against QPR, but as we are essentially safe from relegation now I think some of the players may play without the intensity you can see the likes of Wigan playing with right now. Will happily eat my words for a 3-0 home win though. To send the rabble down the road further into the mire would be, in a word, perfect.
The last game and relegation have nothing to do with it. After the shambles at Loftus Road Mr Jol and the team owe the fans big time!
If only QPR could say the same I'm certainly hoping the players will do their best to erase the memory of the God awful 2-1 reverse at Loftus Road, but I cannot see a win no matter how hard I try. Going to go for a high scoring draw, which wouldn't be the end of the world, as QPR need wins not draws.
Something that Fulham and QPR share is that they were founded from Church Boy's teams. Fulham was of course St Andrew's, the patron saint of Fishermen. QPR was St Jude's. the patron saint of Lost Causes.
Just been directed to this post from a fellow Saints fan after I started a thread regarding that numpty Mark Lawrenson. Quality long lasting post with a great title, I'd love him to be replaced, he really does talk utter dog ****e most of the time.....QPR in 6th place, your'e having a laugh! Hope you win tomorrow even if it does mean Lawro was correct!
Welcome lewebster, all are united in the world of Lawro-bashing! We're playing on Monday, hope you beat the scum tomorrow!
Yeah sorry, I did see that. I'm pretty confident of a win, I'm hoping for our 3rd 3-1 win against the big boys after Man City and Liverpool, let's hope I'm right, enjoy thrashing QPR!
