Mark Lawrenson's awful wardrobe

MOTD was hosted by regular word-mongers Shearer and Lawrenson this weekend, with Lawro sporting some kind of terrible shiny space-age material, possibly used for lining re-entry shuttles, that clings to his wrinkled old body in a disconcerting fashion. 

Imagine waking up and seeing this sitting in the corner of your bedroom. FUCK!

There is something ridiculous about Lawro, from his thinning bouffant of hair, to his complete disregard for the basic rules of fashion - in fact, one wonders whether or not the wardrobe department at BBC 1 are merely playing a decade-long joke on him, which is rather unfair considering he is such an easy a target - similar to dressing your alzheimer's-ridden grandfather in clown make-up and a tutu, "for a laugh." It is demeaning and humiliating to the disabled person in question - and so it is with Lawro. He should be afforded some basic human rights, not dressed for our amusement. He clearly cannot dress himself so it is unfair to subject him to this degrading treatment.

But then again, I've just remembered his habit of giving world-weary smirks at Gary's "jokes", that makes me hate him all over again, so now I don't care.

Anyway, on to this weeks guff - 

'He's been playing in the MLS now for 2 or 3 years, so..." Robbie Savage disparaging Beckham's chances of playing for a Premier League club again, while completely failing to get basic facts right about the most famous football player on earth. Beckham has in fact been playing for almost 5 years in the MLS, not to mention his two loan spells in Italy.

'It's been an awful time in that part of the world. But it was good to see Swansea get the win' Lawro consoles the families of the dead miners from the Gleision Colliery that at least a team of men have won a game of sport.

'They tried to make the pitch as wide as possible' By inserting extra grass during half time?

'That's the first premiership goal scored outside of England . . . so that's important considering what's happened this week.' Again, yet more succour for the Welsh families grieving their dead. I don't even know what they are upset about, eh Lawro!

'There's the push! . . . if there was one . . .' Make your mind up, twatty

'It gave them a two goal cushion, and then they could play their football.' What were they playing before? Basketball?

'This guy is so quick, he catches pigeons' Alan Shearer's analysis of Everton's loan signing Royston Drenthe
