Lawrenson Learns from Big Ron

Predicts: "The second season in the Premier League is always tough and it's games like this that they are going to have to win if they are not going to finish among the bottom three. "

Now, I was looking at Big Ron's commentary formula:

Let's run through Ron's three-stage formula.

Ron begins with a standard "Tell you what..."

He continues with

(a) a reference to his knowledge of the game

This reference, it should be noted, is never backed up with specific examples. It generally runs thus: "...I've seen a lot of good [tackles]/[runs]/[shots]/[saves]/[etc] in my time..."

(b) use of a conditional tense

This allows for the possibility that the statement may subsequently turn out to be patent nonsense: "...but that just might be..." Alternatively, when Ron is feeling especially cocky, he may dare listeners to disagree with him.

(c) an extravagant claim

This is the coup de grace. It usually runs thus: "...the best [tackle]/[run]/[shot]/[save]/[etc] in European football ever!"

Lawro pretty much follows the Ronglish pattern.

"Tell you what, and I've seen it before, the second season in the Premier League is always tough and it's games like this that they are going to have to win if they are not going to finish among the bottom three.

 

Or maybe China the tutor was Basil Fawlty, stating the bleeding obvious. I am also pretty fed up of this second season nonsense, a previous thread basically disproved this myth and it is only clowns like Lawro that keep it going because they have nothing constructive to add.

 

lawro = clueless

only knows high level stuff about teams other than liverpool / arsenal / man utd / man city / chelsea, so can't string a paragraph together about the game that doesn't contain the same old cliches.

 

"Ronglish" - brilliant mate, love it!!

 

merson is predicting 3-0 to us, for what it's worth

He must have had a snootful!

 

Put it this way; 14 of the 20 teams in the Premier League this season all survived their second season at one point or another! The other 6 are yet to complete their second season. You're just as likely to go down in your second season as any other, in my not only humble, but shared, opinion.

 

You be careful who you share your opinions with you naughty boy! There are some nasty diseases out there!
