Merson predicts another Hammers win

|

Paul-Merson-Headshot_3190859Sky Sports Soccer Saturday pundit Paul Merson predicts another Irons victory.

Merson told the Sky Sports website “West Ham have been really good over the last month, and I think they’ll win this comfortably. Norwich have a go wherever they are, and they look solid too, but I don’t see them living with Slaven Bilic’s side.”

“Dimitri Payet has been absolutely superb for West Ham. Outstanding. He does everything, and everyone in that West Ham team are bouncing off him. Managers across the Premier League are thinking ‘why didn’t we sign him?’.”

Paul Merson predicts a 3-1 win for the mighty Hammers.

Meanwhile BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson still can’t bring himself to predict a West Ham win suggesting a 1-1 draw.

“Norwich got  a really good point at Anfield last weekend although I felt they only played well until they got into the final third. The Canaries only really made two opportunities, scoring from one and then forcing Simon Mignolet into a great save with the other.” said Lawrenson on the BBC Sport website.

“West Ham have had three fantastic away performances – against Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City – that they could only have dreamt of. But I think it will be harder for them at home, firstly because Norwich will not come forward in numbers to allow the Hammers to counter-attack, and also because Slaven Bilic’s side are now a real scalp.”

    Can’t help but get riled by Lawrenson. He even has a “league table” based on his predictions on the BBC page and we’re third bottom based on his judgement. Shows he really know fnck all with Southampton in 2nd… The only correct team is City at the top but that doesn’t take a footballing genius to predict. He’s such a tw@t.

    Wrong site we only eat humble pie here,
    Merson is just trying to get us off his back but has probably got it about right,
    Lawerson is delusional like all Liverpool based pundits but to keep the Indian happy he is intitled to his opinion, would not want to be on that quiz team Apache,Keys,Lawerson and Merson

  • Davie Gravy says:

    They would be allright in a pub quiz if they didnt have to answer questions on Football.Orange Juice only for Merse though of course 😉

  • bubs says:

    No No nightmare get stuck in a pub with Keys and Lawerson for the night no one deserves that,
    Could get in a game of cards with Merson make some money or hold a load of iou,s
    Not sure about Apache probably need another opinion,

  • TysonM says:

    Haha,My nightmare two would be Lawrenson & Phil Thompson.Imagine being stuck in a boozer with those two while they relived the glory years of Liverpool & how they are still a mighty,massive club,lol

  • sparrow says:

    So the “Brain of Britain” thinks we will win this one. Is he trying to make amends?

  • TysonM says:

    Well he cant do any worse than that mug Lawro.So far this season he has only had us down to win one match out of our first six in his predictions on BBC 😉

  • Tony gore says:

    Why are ex arsenal players idiots.
