Weird to think back on that year.. we could have ended up with him if he didnt go to the scouse, didnt we also apparently try and sign Klose that year as well? Ended up with Martins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it works and they can bring it in for yellows, and freekicks that lead to goals as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Sunderland 10 points above 17th place Southampton who he has on 23 points as well. What a fucking nob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9376 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 To be fair, Lawrenson falls into the trap of expecting runs to end earlier than they do. I reckon if you asked him to predict the table before the season starts, it would be significantly different to the table that manifests from his fixture by fixture predictions. Of course, he'll still give Liverpool more credit than they deserve, but I doubt he would have predicted them to win it unbeaten. @Ant Before the beginning of next season, is it possible to have a league prediction thread/page? Registered users drag the team's icon/name into league positions, hit submit and have it on their profile page and within a thread on the football board?

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Any idea what happens to Man Utd's EL spot next season if they win the EL this season? Will it go to Southampton? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even remember it. Where was it? Can you prove it? I think the match-by-match prediction threads work because it encourages discussion, I'm just talking about a pre-season drag & drop league predictor.

strawb 3786 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Mark Lawrenson presented our certificates when we left school, he was a proper bellend. Snarky comments to kids collecting certificates at a school leaving do the lot, he stunk of booze, looked like he got dressed in the dark and hadn't slept/shaved in about 3 days. he also did that thing where he squeezes your hand dead hard when you shake hands. Complete fucking arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 31405 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 (edited) Can't remember which magazine it was (GQ or something like that) but there was a series in there of blokes who looked like middle-aged lesbians. Remember both Fabio Capello and Mark Lawrenson being amongst them. Edited May 19, 2017 by Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
