Premier League predictions: Lawro v the Wealdstone Raider
- Published
BBC Sport's football expert Mark Lawrenson is pitting his wits against a different guest each week this season.
Lawro's opponent for this weekend's Premier League fixtures is the Wealdstone Raider.
The Raider, aka Stones fan Gordon Hill, became famous for his catchphrases "You've got no fans" and "You want some?" in a YouTube clip that has had more than 9.5 million views since March 2013.
Wealdstone play Colchester in the FA Cup on Saturday.
You can hear some of the Raider's tales on Football Focus, which is live from Wealdstone before that tie at 12:10 GMT on Saturday on BBC One and the BBC Sport website.
