Dung Beetle Thread

6 losses out of 6 he has predicted us.

To be fair, we have had a tough run of matches to start and I actually do not think his predictions have been wildly off - only the prediction of a Newcastle win was unreasonable. Before the season started, I could have seen us being at this stage with only a point or two from Newcastle or West Ham away or Burnley away, given how tough the matches have been. It is more testament to excellent performances that we have managed to get six points on the board and I am not sure I can blame Lawro for thinking differently (at this stage).

 

Lawkes a Mussy! He has predicted our first point of the season.

 

I think this week the tool has surpassed himself. Everything is negative and basically if you took on board literally what he says then there is no point continuing, we might as well apply for relegation and cross our fingers that the Championship will accept us.This is not punditry, it is total tosh.

 

I thought the fact that he didn't mention the injuries was quite daft

 

Bournemouth v Norwich
I said a few weeks ago that it is proving far too easy to score against Norwich, something that we saw again when Villa put five past them last time out.

Bournemouth have had defensive problems of their own in previous years, and they are still pretty open now, but things are far worse for the Canaries.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

 

I wonder if we might be able to possibly re-name this thread? We all know the drivel that Mr Lawrenson writes and yet for some unknown reason we seem to be drawn back to it almost in a self-harming way. May I suggest we call the thread the 'Dung Beetle Thread' - we jknow what they survive on and it woudl seem appropriate for this particular person. Would you agree?

 

Anything for you Nigel

 

Norwich have had two good home wins already this season, and picked up their first point on the road against Bournemouth last weekend, without conceding too.

The Canaries have been struggling for fit centre-backs so that was a very good performance against the Cherries, and I would not be surprised to see them give United a good game too.

I am not going to go as far as saying I think Norwich will win, though.

They are another team that I have not tipped to get a victory so far this season, but they are going to have to wait at least another week for that to happen - which is probably good news for them.

Lawro's prediction: 2-2

 

LAWRO'S PREDICTION
Brighton will definitely fancy their chances against this Norwich team - yes, their win over Everton was assisted by VAR, but they are a team who create a lot of chances.

Prediction: 2-1
We need to put this one away.

 

You must read Lawro's in depth analysis for the Watford game on BBC Sport Football. It dissects every aspect of the formations and questions managerial strategy and the relative aspirations of the fans and players, it is worth a read.. Should take you about 10 seconds if you take your time - and that confirms why the thread was re-named I think.

 

Lawro will eventually get one wrong

 

He is the BBC expert on these things. I took a while to consider the name change of this thread. It was touch and go. Touch and go.

 

So despite having home advantage, having key players back from injury and playing a team with no win this season the miserable biased toerag still can't give us a sniff of a win. Tw@t
I really deeply resent being forced to pay a BBC licence fee to fund c**** like him.

 

They are charging a fee for that woke commie propaganda now ?

 

How much?

 

£154.50 a year.
Irrespective of whether you watch or listen to any BBC channels at all.
I watch some snooker, a few natural history programmes and some music on BBC4.
No Eastenders, sickly come dancing and endless crap like that.
Yet I'm charged the same a people who sit glued to their turgid garbage 24/7

 

I think the point is you have the choice to decide not to watch it

 

Sorry, I meant whether or not I watch or listen to any BBC channels I still have to pay for them. Preposterous, in this day and age. Entertainment should be 'on demand' - and paid for on that basis.

But far more important stuff, like VAR to talk about later

 

He was right though we are underdogs in every game we go into in this league, we have been the youngest, most inexperienced, cheapest,most injury ravaged side in every game. Hopefully we can remove injury ravaged soon!

 

Everton v Norwich
Norwich are on a bad run - with only one point from their past seven games - and the injuries that have affected several of their defensive players appear to have caught up with them.

Everton have had a poor spell of their own in recent weeks, but with their late equaliser against Tottenham and then their victory at Southampton, things appear a bit rosier for them at the moment.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0
