On one level it is just a feature to fill up a website that is not to be taken seriously but on the other hand his track record is so poor. For someone to make a living out of punditry and forecasting you would expect them to have some degree of insight and expertise.

Yes, he should have known that we would beat Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City.

Have a day off Ronaldo.
You only have to look at his record over the seasons to see what a lousy forecaster he is. Not based on a few exceptional results.

But who cares?
Or should I say "WHO cares", because clearly many of us do, for some reason I can't quite fathom.
West Ham fans are supposed to be proper GEEZERS, but so many are rather precious when it comes to non-West Ham that don't LOVE us.

Well it doesn't bother me what he predicts but I do wonder why he has the job.
Would a horse racing or share tipster be able to make a living in their chosen field with such a poor success rate?
Blah, blah, blah licence fee, blah, blah, waste of money.

I don't think it's intended to be taken at all seriously, especially considering the "head to head" predictions have included the likes of Robert De Niro and Sylvester Sallone.

Well I, for one, would prefer if they brought back the octopus even if he is dead.

There does seem to be a strange obsession about Lawro on here, it has to be said.
The fella is now a dinosuar when it comes to punditry and needs to be retired. I was watching MOTD2 last week and Lawro and Danny Murphy were the pundits, the difference in how they gave their answers from the presenter was miles apart, Murphy would offer real insight and tactical analysis, where Lawro would just ramble something that the bloke down the pub would say. It was also easy to see that the presenter was firing most of the questions at Murphy. Thing is once you get a job at the BBC you're there for life, even when you become a complete joke, like Lawro now is.

Agree PD.
I don't care about his predictions though just think he is well past his sell-by date and should be retired.
How was your trip?

Up to three hours is fine. Then 3 hours 30 minutes... 40 minutes... 50 minutes. How much more to go? Six hours. Five hours 50 minutes, 45 minutes, 40 minutes, 35 minutes. Flight plan update. Time remaining 5 hours 57 minutes, 56 minutes...

It felt like I was up there forever. I've now finally decided that it's better to stop off in the middle east, have a break and then board another plane that is clean, doesn't smell and has different people around you. 12 hours sitting in one seat is just way too long.

I actually think Lawrenson is alright (I realise I must be only one of a few on here). Terrible forecaster though, but most people are.

There are no easy games in this league the sooner we all understand that the better.
Saying that Bournemouth should never have beaten us that was a pathetic display, today a few of our players looked tired Noble was very poor.
Still feels like a win to me.
As for 1-1 by the x liverpool bore, I never at any point felt that was a disrespectful prediction though i fully know he meant it to be.
