Proof that Lawro underrates Villa

[paulcomben]

Across the season, Mark Lawrenson's negative score predictions for Villa would have seen us relegated on 27 points. The miserable, dreary, useless prat.

Don't sweat it, he had QPR, Newcastle and Sunderland 8,9 and 10....

[not3bad]

He did predict relegation for Villa even after we beat Reading and QPR as I remember, and even Robbie Savage was saying we'd probably be OK at that point!

Move along nothing to see here, this is about Mark Lawrenson.

[ozzjim]

QPR he had down for 56 points lol!

Arsenal 91 points...

Swansea 30 points....

Brilliant.

He got 1 one of the 20 clubs in their correct final position. Now I can see why he earns the big money as a football expert, the man is a genius.

I can't believe the BBC still pay him.

Do they think there is anyone anywhere in the country who actually appreciates his "insight"?

[junxs]

I've never understood the obsession on this site over him. Who cares what he thinks? I certainly don't

It's the equivalent of going to the races and backing all the favourites, a dull, colourless approach that should come as no surprise originating, as it does, from a man who possesses all the charisma of an old sofa dumped on waste ground that has been relentlessly rained upon for months.

Saw that yesterday, thought that bottom seven or so would never win away.

Because at times like this it's fun to laugh at how crap he is!

Predicting that Southampton would lose every game in 2013 but when they were safe saying "I always knew they would stay up" is priceless.

Also surprised to read that Everton's away record was so bad. We won more than them and should have added another at Goodison.

The predictions for QPR just shows the absurd hype surrounding Harry Redknapp

[danno]

Not such a big deal to me, I over rate Villa and think we can draw or sneak a win every game.

I'm certain that if any of the other "experts" had all their score predictions put into a league table
they'd get lots of things wrong too.

Fair play to Lawrenson he's the only one who does something like this, and he (seemingly) gets stick all season for it.

Its meant to be a bit of fun, and I think it is.

His opponent last week was a puppet from Cbbc, that tells me its probably not meant to be taken seriously!

Bland, no insight into the reasoning behind his opinions apart from stating the obvious, for example  'The two Manchester clubs and Chelsea all have a chance of winning the title' and 'You have to fear for the promoted sides'. Points out that sides letting in a lot of goals and losing a lot of games and are near the bottom are letting in a lot of goals and losing a lot of games and are in danger of going down. Money for old rope. I would love to tell him face to face that Gary Neville is a thousand times better and also has a lot more medals.
