BBC Sport’s pundit Mark Lawrenson predicts a 2-0 loss for the Hammers on Saturday
“This is a tough time for West Ham with Dimitri Payet and now Diafra Sakho out, and after a great start to the season they have now gone four games without a win. It actually reminds me of what happened to the Hammers last year, although their early results then were not quite as eye-catching. I just don’t see them getting anything at Old Trafford. Manchester United are a functional team rather than a frightening one, but they keep churning out good results.”
His 2-0 defeat prediction matches that of fellow Sky Pundit Paul Merson. We know Slav likes to go all out for the big games so lets hope he proves all the pundits wrong on Saturday and the underdogs turn the Red Devils over.
I’m pretty certain that Hugh and Sean put this on every week to wind people up and do a bit of fishing. Like it or not, he’s been right 2 of the last 3, and last week he predicted a win for us.
Problem is , our form is starting match his predictions and making him look a good pundit , sigh !
The photo looks like he’s had a boot in the boat!
