Guest ttfn Posted 9 April 2016 Posted 9 April 2016 He's got a point in many ways. We should go for the kill against Sunderland and try and reclaim a bit of goal difference. The cautious approach is okay against the better teams but, if we score early, I'd like to see the floodgates open. Jermaine Defoe wouldn't have missed that Mane chance. We're not going to win the league on goal difference at this stage. All things being equal Spurs would have to make up 5 goals on us minimum in order to catch us and are already 8 goals clear. So even assuming that Spurs catch us in 3 games time by winning 2 games 1-0 and drawing one and us losing all 3 games 1-0, if Spurs win all of their last 3 games 1-0 we'd need to win by an aggregate 17-0 in the 3 games we do win in order to win it on goal difference. Basically goal difference is irrelevant for us now. 1-0 is as good as 4-0.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 April 2016 Posted 9 April 2016 That has got to be up there with "you'll never win anything with kids"I hope all the pundits choke on their words if (big IF) we do actually manage to complete the unthinkableUp the Foxes
ceredigion Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 To coincide with today's announcement of the shortlist for the PFA Player of the Year Award, the BBC has asked its team of football pundits to pick their own shortlist of six and select an overall winner. Here's Lawro's contribution. BBC: So Mark, which are the players who have made your shortlist for this season? LAWRO: It's not been easy to narrow it down to six. A lot of different players have caught my eye at various times and some have been a real revelation. But being a top pundit is all about putting your money where your mouth is, so here's my Sensational Six. (1) Jordan Henderson - Liverpool. Captaining the Reds is one of the hardest jobs in football. Think of the acts you've got to follow, the late, great Emlyn Hughes, Graeme Souness, Alan Hansen and of course the one and only Stevie G. They all got their hands on a European trophy and I reckon Jordan will do the same this year. He's a leader of men. (2) Raheem Sterling - Manchester City. A few eyebrows were raised when City paid £50 million for Raheem's services, and it's a lot of money in anyone's book. But if City go on to win the Champions League, he will look like the bargain buy of the century. (3) Daniel Sturridge - Liverpool. His season has been a bit disrupted by injuries but that can happen to any player. Daniel's back in the side now though and coming into form at the business end of the season. On his day, he's as good as any England striker since Alan Shearer. Borussia Dortmund won't fancy facing him, that's for sure and I don't see how Roy Hodgson can possibly leave him out of the England squad for Euro 16. (4) Wayne Rooney - Manchester United. What can you say about this man that hasn't been said before? It seems like only yesterday he was the Boy Wonder at Old Trafford and now he's a grizzled veteran. But in my book he's another certainty to start for England in France and he's become a proper role model for the younger United players both on and off the pitch, in the tradition of men like Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona, Norman Whiteside and George Best. (5) John Terry - Chelsea. Presidents and Prime Ministers come and go and so do football managers, but John Terry's always there. He's been a rock at the heart of the Chelsea defence for 15 years and if I was Roy Hodgson I'd be crawling on my knees to Stamford Bridge to beg Mr Chelsea to come out of international retirement in time for the Euros. (6) Phillip Couthino - Liverpool. He's Brazilian and he plays for Liverpool. What more is there to say? BBC: Great stuff as always Mark. But while we're at it, who's your Manager of the Year? LAWRO: It's got to be Jurgen Klopp for me. He's only been in charge at Anfield since October, but he's already taken Liverpool to a Wembley final and now they're on the brink of doing something historic in the Europa League. I can't see beyond him and Liverpool will take some stopping next season, you mark my words. BBC: Thanks Mark, it's always great to hear your insights. LAWRO: Don't mention it. You've got my number.

Riyad_Suarez Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 You've just saved Lawro an hour of his life if he's reading this.
Corky Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Big weekend for Lawro where he tells us how surprised he is both sides are doing well (due to predicting defeats most weeks) but acknowledging the quality of the teams (despite predicting defeats most weeks). Nailed on 1-1.

Nailed on 1-1. Lawro has it hard this week, he can't predict us both to lose so you are right he will have to go draw
stretch1965 Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 I set my alarm for an hour earlier these days just so I can hate him for 60 minutes more
Socks Posted 13 April 2016 Posted 13 April 2016 Lawro has it hard this week, he can't predict us both to lose so you are right he will have to go draw He likes it hard, thats his problem
biggs Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Lawro and Merson having us down as 2-1 winners and to add Lawro is at the game

bluesbrothers Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Victimpool pissing their Europa campaign up the wall, Lawro is sounding even more miserable than usual on 5 live. Good news guys - this will all-but confirm our CL status tonight unless Man City both win the CL and cock up the top 4.

Good news guys - this will all-but confirm our CL status tonight unless Man City both win the CL and cock up the top 4. We already have champions league. Think about it. If we finish 4th then where will man city have finished? No one outside the current top 4 can catch us...
ARM1968 Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Don't hate Lawro. He's our secret weapon. Some would say a tool.
Spudulike Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Idris Elba's prediction: "How would I feel if Tottenham win the title? I would be physically ill. Literally, I would be throwing up
HighPeakFox Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 Lawro just said 'Henderson is my Player of the Season, he's a huge miss with injury, that's the only reason Dortmund are pissing this..............' Honest
m4DD0gg Posted 14 April 2016 Posted 14 April 2016 lawro says The Foxes hardly ever seem to find themselves chasing a game - in their 15 league games since losing to Liverpool on Boxing Day, they have been behind for a total of 20 minutes. It's amazing.

Tuna Posted 2 May 2016 Posted 2 May 2016 I remember Lawro dismissing the idea of us winning the title out of hand in the Autumn. lol
