    I love how he predicts one of 3 scores every week:

    2-0
    2-1
    1-1

    Sounds like me in the predictor. ;doh

    There's an occasional 3 in there too, where Liverpool are involved, Luke
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    He doesn't expect them to score 3 does he ;lol ;doh
  • baracks_a_hammerbaracks_a_hammer
    This won't surprise anyone - the twonk as quoted on today's BBC text commentary

    "I would back Liverpool, as well as Stoke are playing,..."

    ;lol

    What an absolute Twonk

    Has he ever predicted Liverpool to lose....
  • SuzanneClaretSuzanneClaret
    I shouldn't think so.

    Don't want to start a new thread, so as this is pundit related I'm going to post here.

    Savage is another pundit I dislike but on Radio 5 at the weekend he apparently said we should be aiming for 4th. He said it's up for grabs and any one of us, Leicester, Man United or Palace could go for it. I've been saying the same thing to mates the last couple of weeks.

    I don't think we should expect it or get ahead of ourselves, but if the team want it enough and stay consistent enough, I do think 4th is there for us. Thoughts?

    ;hmm

    Personally, I would be aiming for top 5. We all know we won't finish above City and Arsenal, then you look at Spurs being in great form and Leicester being 8 points clear of us. Then you add Man Utd and, as we all know, you can't rule out Chelsea now that the players have got their way. LFC are another big club to contend with.

    I would target 5th. Then if we finish 6th of 7th, it's still a top season. I think top four is a bit unrealistic, but why not target it at the end of the day?
  • eskimokingeskimoking
    That's what I think. To be honest, anything in the top 10 is a great season in my opinion this year. But I definitely feel like the club should be looking at 4th/5th going 'you know what, we could nick that this season'.

    If we keep our key players injury free then 5th is a stretch, but achievable

    But this is West Ham so that's a big "if"

    Mate, he says so much with out actually saying any thing (if you see what I mean). You'd not know he ever played the game by listening to him.

    If Savage says we should be aiming for 4th, then personally I think he is a fantastic pundit - one of the very best there has ever been. In fact, he would only be bettered by a pundit who has us down for 3rd, 2nd or 1st

    I feel sorry Lawrenson he suffers from that rare disease know as "twonkism" it affects retired players of big clubs and leaves them under the impression that they are all seeing football gurus ;whistle

    Injury free is the problem. Can't remember that far back when we were without injuries, and would be surprised if A C stays fit for the rest of the season with his record.

    In Lawro's head they are the biggest club in the world

    As it happens l have today discovered a scouse supporter ;biggrin

    The young lady in the group next to ours, who just happens to be West Ham asked me quite loudly my thoughts on the match Saturday.

    We discussed it much to the scousers chagrin ;lol

    ;thumbsup good work Expat

    I also have a feeling that West Ham might slip up against Wolves, who were struggling until recently but have won three in a row since Christmas.

    Put us to lose 1-2

    Ha ha, he really really doesn't like us does he. ;whome
  • OldCastleSwiftOldCastleSwift
    Is that because we smashed his beloved Liverpool 5-0 this season ;hmm

    Twonkage
  • crusadinghammercrusadinghammer
    I see he is predicting an upset with Wolves to win - The only predictable thing about that is he is not picking us to win - AGAIN!

    He's actually taking the micky now, isn't he?

    Clearly on a wind up.

    Possibly makes him a twumk

    He obviously can't deviate from his initial prediction that we're a poor side and will finish towards the bottom of the league.
