Mark Lawrenson – what have you done?

I’m sorry but what is it with Mark Lawrenson recently? He is being kind to Aston Villa and I am finding it unsettling!!!

The BBC pundit and former Liverpool player has once against Villa to win, this time on the road against Blackburn. I’m sorry Lawro, haven’t you been watching Villa this year, we don’t do wins away from home!

The de-moustached one said: ‘Villa have turned themselves into the Premiership’s draw specialists. They reacted really well to going a goal behind against Everton on Monday. Blackburn have an FA Cup semi-final next week and it would only be natural if they had one eye on that. And predicts 1-2 to Villa.

Last season at Ewood Park it was 2-0 to Blackburn.

This season at Villa Park it was 2-0 to Villa. (Barry pen and Angel – remember him?)

Record in the league in total:

Prem: Blackburn 12 wins, Villa 9, Draws 4

At Ewood Park: Blackburn 7 wins, Villa 2, Draws 3

Mystic Mug isn’t as confident after the first half showing against Everton so will sit on the fence with a 0-0.
