Lawros Predictions

[sjl]

I wonder if any other clubs have threads dedicated to various pundits who have the audacity to back the opposing team against us. Whether we like it or not, not everyone is going to go out and get a blades tattoo just because we’ve started well. Obviously, if proven incorrect, we can remind them, but let’s get there rather than sounding too self entitled each weekend! (Posted on other pundit threads too, sorry)

I think you might be misreading what people are getting at. The fact that we’re 6th and his predictions would have us in 19th place, suggest he’s dong a rubbish job. If he’s as inaccurate with other teams, then I expect there will be threads criticising his dismal efforts.

My objection is him continually getting it wrong, based on his ignorance.If he’s predicted us to lose v Wolves and that’s what happens, fair enough, although he’s bound to get one right at some point.

He's just like a gambling addict trying to see out a losing streak. He had a hunch and went with it but it didn't come off so he backs it again and again, convinced that it simply has to be the next one where his hunch comes good. He can't change his mind because that would undermine the whole notion that he's got the instincts for this so he keeps going until the law of averages mean he gets one right. Then all the times he got it wrong are scrubbed from memory.

You watch, if he predicts us to lose and we do, the next week he'll have us to win. He can't change until his first prediction is proven.

So, he’s not a twoat, he doesn’t hate us, he’s not the devil incarnate....

Like flipping a coin, you pick heads but get tails 6 times in a row then you might as well keep going with picking heads until u finally get it right lol

There is, of course, an art to the building up of suspense. Although it can be done by luck alone. If luck’s the word I’m after.

 

[Bladesway]

Fuck me 8 pages of does not matter.

 

[William]

Lawro predicted it would be the dryest Novembor on record.

...today.

 

[BladesOnToast]

Logic suggests a draw but I’ve a feeling we’ll lose 2-0 or 2-2 (hope I’m wrong)

I would accept losing 2-2, but i'd rather draw 2-3 given the choice

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Clueless Scouse cunt fucks it up yet again.

 

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Time to crap ourselves is when the test predicts us to win.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Praying he tips Newcastle.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Were in deep s--t hes tipped us to win

 

[andy m]

Don't worry Charlie has tipped us to draw. Think that would be our 4th point this season. The fuckwit.

 

[Bladeaway]

Sheff Utd v Newcastle
Sheffield United keep on picking up points and I am very aware I have not tipped them enough to win (in the league table below, which is based on Lawro's predictions) this season.
I keep thinking they will run out of steam but that has not happened, and they have already shown that they are far better than I thought they were.
I thought they would stay up but I did not expect them to be as high as they are, and they just look so comfortable at this level.
It is going to be interesting what Newcastle try to do against them, and how much energy they have got left, because they worked so hard in their draw against Manchester City on Saturday.
Lawro's prediction: 2-1

 

[Antonb]

Oh bugger, I wanted him to tip Newcastle to win

 

[Caveblade]

Lawro, you have spoilt my week. The weekly cheeky 2nil is all I look forward to. The run is broken and based on his punditry ability I would get your house on a Newcastle win.

Bigger.

 

[coaxingstar71]

He did tip us to beat Palace and we did so not the end of the world.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Good news, it's not a full house as Champagne Charlie has us down for a draw.

 

[1973Blade]

Please Mark Lawrenson, never EVER predict us to win again!

 

[Caveblade]

Got to live Andy Murray, a proper football man who got it spot on!

Lawro starting to hedge his bets with a draw prediction

 

[Blade58]

Got to live Andy Murray, a proper football man who got it spot on!

Not bad at tennis anall

 

[Brian Deane]

Not bad at tennis anall

Hows that work? Does he run around the court with a tennis racket up his arse facing backwards and trying to guess where the opposition is hitting the ball ?. Must be awkward as hell to serve too . UTB

 

[blade67]

By my reckoning Mark has us on 11 points compared to our 22 so not that good really

Charlie Nicolas has us on about 5 points, idiot.

 

[Silent Blade]

Got to live Andy Murray, a proper football man who got it spot on!

And a Hibs fan too

 

[blademark]

Bad news he's tipped us to win 2-1.

 

[TCsLoveChild]

Bad news he's tipped us to win 2-1.

FFS UTB

 

[jono_t2000]

Bad news he's tipped us to win 2-1.

Hes just trying to get his points total for us back in line by end of season so he can say that he can say he accurately predicted how many points we would get overall

 

[mcbladeface]

He even remarks how whenever he tips us to win, we lose and then immediately tips us to win. Conclusion: obviously hates us.

 

[blade67]

In fairness he got this right today so I think 3 out of 17

 

[Caveblade]

Well done Lawro, first time all season. Waking up and smelling the coffee!
