The Lawro Thread

[Lilbaz]

Few things to consider regarding Lawro....a former Liverpool player, also a Liverpool fan with all the delusion and derangement which that entails, and most importantly a bellend of infinitesimal proportions, who was actually allowed to get a gig making supposedly, objectively-based predictions on football results! The outcome was always going to be funny, but especially when we're having a good season.

Who said his predictions should be objective? They are quite clearly his opinion. Don't know why people get annoyed by them.

Not annoyed by him...he's always been supremely hilarious! And there's no "shoulds"! It's football and any arsehole can make a prediction. The guise of being objective is there because he's supposedly competing with another twat every week with his/her own biases. Don't get your point.

An opinion is subjective. It's his opinion of what the score will be. He shouldn't have to be objective about it, he can be as biassed as he wants.

You said " biassed"! Put a hyphen between the bi and the assed, and that's what he is! But that's just my subjective opinion!

Too much turkey Baz?

Who's annoyed? Most are simply having a laugh, taking the piss ?

I have to confess i would rather they put up a genuine expert, good at predicting, than a biased oaf like him or merson on the other channel. But as we all know our screens have gone tabloid and clicks matter.

I'd normally jump at the chance to dig at west ham but I'm trying to be objective for once. They're in the top ten, a win behind the el places and have had some great away wins before slipping away as they traditionally do. Lawro has them winning twice and languishing second bottom.

He's a crap predictor however you cut it.

He might be a crap predictor but it's only entertainment. The bbc don't make money from clicks as they have no adds but people do read his predictions. If they stopped then the bbc would stop doing them.

If i was doing them arsenal, west ham and chelsea would be in the relegation zone. That's why i don't call him names. It's his opinion and he's entitled to it.

What do you mean you don't call him names? You just agreed he might be a crap predictor! Lighten up mate....it's Christmas! And he is Lawro!

Not having a go. It's your opinion that he's an oaf and you're entitled to it.

Not saying you were anoyed either but some posters are and that's fair enough. Just saying i don't understand it. It doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Doesn't matter what the public holiday imo, Lawro is a prick who is poor at his job. I resent the fact I contribute towards his huge wage packet.

 

[hugrr]

I'm just annoyed that I pay that ****s wages, and he has the gall to turn up to work looking like a tramp each week.

Tramp to you - height of fashion on the Wirral!

Tramp to you - height of fashion on the Wirral!

Steady on!!!

Haha, not far off the truth in Birkenhead though.

 

[Graysonti]

What's he predicting for tomorrow ?

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

What's he predicting for tomorrow ?

Snow!

 

[spurslenny]

What's he predicting for tomorrow ?

A 2-1 win for us. Shock.

A draw would have been a more logical prediction based on the form of both teams.

In short, lawro is a cock. Still.

My view is that this is a comedy thread . We laugh and insult Lawro as a matter of course , its a tradition now . Anyone taking whats said in here too seriously , or indeed , Lawro seriously is kinda missing the point imo .

Someone will be along soon to call him a cad I expect...

Watford v Tottenham
Watford are in danger of stealing Leicester's limelight, they have a real goal threat and are one of a few teams playing 4-4-2. But they have picked up more points away from home then at home this season.

Tottenham are looking good but the way the league is now, if you win three games people start talking about the title! It happened with Liverpool the other week. Tottenham won't win the league but they do look like Champions League contenders. They have only lost two games but they draw too many. They look like signing a striker in January in case Harry Kane falls over and that could be a shrewd move.

Lawro's prediction: 1-2

Yeah and it was probably you, you silly old fool! Even in a fucking prediction of a game between Watford and Spurs he manages to squeeze in a mention of Liverpool.

Sounds like I'm up.....he's a cad!

Haha this is my favourite prediction of his. With an exclamation mark, he's implying it's a joke that Liverpool were being talked of as title contenders. There was definitely some talk from him about this, he's basically admitting he's a chump.
