So I got 5 predictions totally correct and 3 others result only correct. Not bad from excel formula
 
Not many for him to predict this week but still the usual 1-0 2-0 or 2-1

So, are they still unbeaten in the Lawrenson League?

No. He relented and had them losing v City I thnk.
I have an excel formula now and I’m tuning it and think I’m close to working out his “predictions”
I say predictions but it a joke that the BBC give him money for what he spouts.
 
This weeks predictions of Lawrensons predictions..

Chelsea 2-0 West Bromwich Albion
Leeds United 1-1 Sheffield United
Leicester City 1-2 Manchester City
Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool
Southampton 1-1 Burnley
Newcastle United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Aston Villa 2-1 Fulham
Manchester United 2-0 Brighton & Hove Albion
Everton 2-0 Crystal Palace
Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 West Ham United
 
Are they still unbeaten in his predictions? Think he hasn't predicted Liverpool to lose a game in 5 years? or did he finally get over his delusion that Liverpool can't draw/win every game? :lol: :lol: :lol:

EDIT: Looked back and seen he predicted Liverpool losing to City, 4 years unbeaten though :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

He has predicted them to lose a couple of times but %99.9 of games he predicts the 1-1 , 2-1 , 2-0

I’m working on a formula that predicts his predictions. Would be funny to post excactly before he does.

I don’t have a problem with him getting paid by BBC to do this but at least make it credible and remove the “football expert” from the title.
 
Well stone the crows. Maybe he is on the Cafe?
He has a 3-0 !
 
This week my formula to predict his predictions gives:
Fulham v Wolverhampton Wanderers. 1-1
Manchester City v Leeds United 2-0
Liverpool v Aston Villa 2-1
Crystal Palace v Chelsea 0-2
Burnley - Newcastle United 1-1
West Ham United v Leicester City 2-1
Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United 2-0
Sheffield United v Arsenal 1-2
West Bromwich Albion v Southampton 1-1
Brighton and Hove Albion v Everton 0-2
 
Yeah he'll 100% go 1-1 in the Spurs V Utd game. Maybe even 3-0 in the City game to signal worlds end.

Only my excel formula to predict what he will go for. To say, I am tuning this to try and match his weekly predictions. I don't mind the guy, but when he is getting paid large sums to present a weekly column that in my view is farcical , he is projected by the BBC as a "Football Expert"

I see, so it's your prediction of Lawro's predictions?

I thoroughly enjoy this. :lol:

Predictably yes But I use Excel formula which takes league position, last 5 games and , for Liverpool , a cannot lose factor.
This gives a number which is rounded to one of the (only 5) scores he uses.

His motdx show is hilarious. Virtually nothing to do with football but clearly commissioned in order to appeal to the "younger generation" of football fans. Would love to know the viewing figures.
 
It's funny because ten years ago, lawrenson was notorious among Liverpool fans for being dead negative about our chances in his predictions.
 
Restarting the algorythm to predict Lawrenson predictions…

Liverpool v Burnley 2-0
Aston Villa v Newcastle 1-1
Crystal Palace v Brentford 1-1
Leeds v Everton 1-0
Man City v Norwich 2-0 (will he break his rule and go 3-0)
Brighton v Watford 2-1

Sunday 22 August
14:00 Southampton v Man Utd 1-2
14:00 Wolves v Spurs 1-2
16:30 Arsenal v Chelsea 0-2
