Well, he finally got one right and on the law of averages he had to at some stage.
But not before the official West Ham account had decided to take a pop at the seemingly anti West Ham pundit Mark Lawrenson.
It really is a bit off the wall for any official club Twitter account to get involved in slanging matches but prior to yesterday’s 2-0 defeat against Watford the boys and girls who tweet for the Irons made their feelings known.
The tweet declared: LAWRO: @BBCSport ‘football expert’ Mark Lawrenson has excelled with his #WHUFC and @WatfordFC predictions so far…
Until yesterday the former Liverpool player had predicted six defeats for the Hammers and of course been proved wrong on every occasion.
