Jimothy Posted 12 February 2016 Posted 12 February 2016 And this is why people think he's a twat. Not because he predicts up to draw or lose, but because he says stuff like this will be their easiest game and then predicts a draw.
Webbo Posted 12 February 2016 Posted 12 February 2016 I sort of agree with him. The pressure is on Arsenal and they will come on to us whereas other teams will set up to contain us. Games against Norwich and teams like that will be the real test.

J.Lisemore Posted 12 February 2016 Posted 12 February 2016 I can see what he's saying. The onus is on them to attack us at home, and as we all know, this plays into our hands with our counter-attacking game.
stretch1965 Posted 12 February 2016 Posted 12 February 2016 See we are still 4th bottom in his league based on his predictions. Hope we can stay up................ Twat
The Fox Covert Posted 12 February 2016 Posted 12 February 2016 It is tempting to join in the Lawrenson hate-fest, but my take on his performance is that his prediction technique is similar to your pension fund manager. Completely risk-averse. He predicts wins for the biggest clubs, because they have the strongest squads and spent the most money. The devils advocate in me could maybe understand his scepticism at the beginning of the season. Leicester. No big signings from the premier league. A free transfer bargain from the Bundesliga, an unknown from France, a centre back mid-table Stoke didn't want, and a couple of also-rans from other European leagues, none for big fees by premier league standards. And a new manager who had apparently failed disastrously with the feeble Greek Euro qualification campaign. But when he is proved wrong week after week you would think he would learn and adapt. November, the league table doesn't lie, December, the table doesn't lie, January, the table doesn't lie, Nearly half way through February the table doesn't lie. Maybe he is starting to move in our favour just the tiniest little bit. Draw on Sunday? No comments on the lines of '...Arsenal's squad may just be a little too strong for Leicester...' After all, when did Leicester last win at Highbury?
Jimothy Posted 12 February 2016 Posted 12 February 2016 After all, when did Leicester last win at Highbury? Arsenal haven't won there since 2005.
MC Prussian Posted 27 February 2016 Posted 27 February 2016 So, the top three sides are all bound to win this weekend according to Lawrenson: http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35651217 He just wants the drama to continue. Although with a somewhat resurgent Manchester United, I'm not sure Arsenal can expect an easy game or three points. Spurs highly likely to win against Swansea is more of a concern. And of course, Liverpool to win the Capital One Cup final! Good ol' biased Lawro!
lgfualol Posted 27 February 2016 Posted 27 February 2016 "This is the start of a tricky-looking run of games for Leicester that will test their title prospects because they will largely be up against opposition from the bottom half of the table that is just trying to stop them from playing, rather than taking the game to them." Wait I just thought we had our tricky run of games after the last tricky run of games. Arsenal and Liverpool carrying on their unbeaten runs in this weekend.
Kitchandro Posted 1 March 2016 Posted 1 March 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35637647 LAWRO'S PREDICTIONWest Brom will make things very difficult, and I think they will see the job through. The Baggies are over their little blip now, and Saido Berahino looks like he has got his appetite back. Prediction: 1-1 West Brom to remain in the top 5 then.
nnfox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35691019 By the time they kick off at Vicarage Road, they will have seen how Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City have done, which could be a massive incentive to win and extend their lead. Lawro's prediction: 1-2 We are in trouble.
ceredigion Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 In the ''Lawro League'', Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea have lost, between them, a grand total of 3 games. In the real world, the total is 32 defeats. What a belled the man is. I predict that Lawro will not predict a single Liverpool or Arsenal defeat all season.
st albans fox Posted 3 March 2016 Posted 3 March 2016 Lawro has worked us out now. Got our last two results right so the win predicted at Watford should be fine .......
dylanlegend Posted 18 March 2016 Posted 18 March 2016 http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35798388 Get in... Another loss predicted by Lawro. That means a comfortable 3 points
Babylon Posted 18 March 2016 Posted 18 March 2016 I like how he uses Reading as a barometer of what they can do to us.
stretch1965 Posted 18 March 2016 Posted 18 March 2016 C'mon boys show him some respect he is a football expert it says so on his bbc profile..............
Steven Posted 18 March 2016 Posted 18 March 2016 Cram's prediction: Being a Sunderland fan I am not sure Palace are safe yet and would love them to be dragged into the relegation battle. I want Leicester to win the title and my heart and my head says 0-2.
Spudulike Posted 18 March 2016 Posted 18 March 2016 He lets his personal prejudice affect his judgement. Seems he can't move on from the 'little' Leicester no-mark club image that he's been brought up on. He's struggling to get it.Forgotten his Preston roots, it seems. Or perhaps that's the problem - it's one of the 7 deadly sins.
David Hankey Posted 18 March 2016 Posted 18 March 2016 Never rated Lawrenson as a player and even less as a pundit. The fact is he was an ordinary player in an exceptional Liverpool team who won everything during their halcyon, never-to-return years.
