[Albion] Thank you Lawro ....

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Mr Liverpool (oh, no, I don't think I played at Brighton) has very kindly put us down to get beaten again. What a bonus before tomorrow's game!

He predicts what he thinks the result will be, not what we want the result to be. He's been pretty good at it so far this season, never losing to his guests.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I think he gave us 11 points last season

 

[Is it PotG?]

Up to us to prove him wrong, on the pitch.

 

[pasty]

.I've given up looking/caring what his predictions are. I already know that 99% of the time he will have us down to lose.

 

[El Presidente]

The constant bitching about Lawrenson baffles me. He's from Preston, father played for them and has always supported them. He went on to win countless trophies with Liverpool and always talks with fondness about his time here at the Albion whenever asked. Yet some people get an outraged boner if he doesn't mention us all the time as if he's personally disrespecting them.

 

[blockhseagull]

Yeah how dare he predict that a team that scored 5 last time out playing at home against a team with a terrible away record will win

 

[LamieRobertson]

I’m going for a draw

It baffles me too. Lawrenson hasn't ignored the fact he played for Brighton, and YouTube videos have been played on NSC numerous times where he speaks with fondness about us. He has been to the Amex many times including our first competitive game here in 2011.
Any outrage at him is simply in the own persons mind, not an emotion based on facts.

Has Lawro tipped us to win once this season?

Whenever I look he’s always predicted us to lose.

I have no issue with Lawro other then he’s another piss poor pundit handsomely paid yet knows sod all about teams outside the top 6.

 

[Trevor]

I'm not outraged - he does his best - He does regularly predict us doing worse than how it turns out

2017-18 - he predicted we would get 26 points (actual 40) https://www.myfootballfacts.com/sta...e-2017-18/mark_lawrenson_predictions_2017-18/
2018-19 - he predicted we would get 30 points (actual 36) https://www.myfootballfacts.com/sta...-2018-19/mark-lawrensons-predictions-2018-19/
And this season so far he has predicted we would get 2 points (actual 9)

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Crodo's mate Alec Scott is also predicting that we're loose

 

[nwgull]

How needy are some people that they get personally offended by a pundit making a prediction?

Couldn't agree more El Pres. I said much the same on the other thread (28th August 1346).

Lawro is one of the greatest players ever to play for us and because he doesn't fawn all over us and dares to predict us lose, he is vilified. Laughable.

So predictions make some people angry. Man, I wish that was all I had to worry about.

I'm just amazed she has the time in between punditry, training for Strictly, recording 13 different Christmas specials and saving the world

Well, people get offended by strangers voicing opinions (on here and on social media) that are different to their own, so I'm not surprised!

 

[Icy Gull]

I love how OUTRAGED Lawrenson fawners are that other posters enjoy pointing out that Lawro has us down to lose again. As US said he predicted us for about 11 points last season

Sorry, carry on fawning and scratching your heads on threads discussing Lawro’s predictions

As for the fact that he has done better than his guests, errr he’s a football pundit, most of the guests are Z list celebrities who probably don’t have that much interest in football anyway. Of course he’s going to do better than them most of the time

FWIW I quite enjoy listening to him talk football so I have no axe to grind with him, just makes me smile that he has us down to lose (or at best draw) virtually EVERY game

I think you'll find Strictly finished months ago.

Dour, mardy Northern twonk. Let’s hope we prove him wrong again.
