Mark Lawrenson truly has become an absolute joke to most people at West Ham.
Week in week out his apparent dislike of the club is becoming more and more apparent but today he truly manages to surpass himself.
For whether we win, draw or lose at Sunderland tomorrow there really is no good reason to predict defeat for the Irons in the north east.
And even in tipping us to do so, the lamest pundit in the game himself fails to come up with a single reason why reason which is surely of some importance if you are expecting to be taken seriously.
We can only assume the former player turned media clown has given up on that score too for his latest pronouncements smack of bias in the extreme.
Writing for the BBC ( what on earth are the guardians of decent journalistic standards thinking of?) Lawrenson declares: ‘From what I have seen so far this season, Sunderland are the worst team in the Premier League.
West Ham have been brilliant away from home, so you might think this will be a straightforward victory for the Hammers.
But football does not work like that, which is why we love it, and why I am going for a surprise result at the Stadium of Light.’
Lawro’s prediction: 2-0
In normal circumstances I wouldn’t have bothered writing a word about such nonsense but his constant predictions of defeat have become a joke.
This one – without a single qualification as to why such a defeat could happen – is the most ridiculous of them all.
I wondered whether you’d spot that 😀
He’s really got the hump that we beat Liverpool hasn’t he…
Better hope it’s not 2-0 tomorrow
He’s a mug and as a player he was carried by the jock .!!!!!
He’s just a mug up to mischief !
What was the score muggins !!!ehh !!!!! Oh yes 0-3
Eat **** mug.
I predict another loss for the scouse gifts this week !!!
3-1 !!!!!!
Jog on pan face, nobody cares for your rubbish predictions anymore
As he has got all 3 predictions for our away games wrong i.e losses that all turned out to be wins , i think he may be a little confused , lets hope so !
Got it right last week though didn’t he. It might feel good to slag him off about getting all three previous away results wrong but so did every pundit in the land plus a large number of our own supporters.
No matter where Sunderland end up, sometime in this season, they are going to win some games. We need to be very aware this could be one of them.
Canchaz i know you seem to love mentioning when Lawrenson rarely gets it right but with his 7 predictions so far this season he has us as 3rd from bottom in his predictions table.The guy is a berk & pointing out one draw he got last week really doesnt change that fact.He is a dinosaur,hence him being phased out of the football shows on the BBC 😉
I can’t stand this bloke. I couldn’t believe it when I saw his prediction this morning. Younis Kaboul is the reason we are likely to get a result tomorrow.
What is his apparent dislike of West Ham? Maybe Alan Devonshire turned him one too many times?
Lawro – you are a bitter, twisted old dinosaur who’s ****ed off because you have been relegated to Football Focus. (Which no one watches). And Hansen was better than you, and you only played for Ireland because you were too crap to play for England, and your managerial career was crap. Take a deep breath……… Rant over
The day this guy quits or gets booted off the box cant come quick enough for me.It aint purely a West Ham thing i just really cannot stand his sarcastic comments & thinking he is such a pundit god & funny man.
He could be Hippo,s secret love child,bloody hell Kevs step brother,
Just look at the resemblance between this photo add the moustache and Hippo in the Advocat post uncanny
But he is now officially a joke ,Have you heard the one about how Westham went to Liverpool and came away with 3 points,
two words sum him up,,,,,,old tosser
****BIGGUS DICKUS****
He just goes against all West Ham and when he gets one right……T0SSER!
Yeah, Lawrenson. You are way off with your prediction. 2-0 down. COYI….
When a manager is in bother, play us.
