Teasy Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Newcastle vs Arsenal: Arsenal have been on a fantastic run since losing to Tottenham in the north London derby at the start of March, a result that left Spurs seven points above them. Yes, Spurs have slipped up a couple of times since then to allow Arsenal to overhaul them, but the way Arsene Wenger's side have finished the season is still hugely impressive. I am backing them to beat Newcastle too, to ensure a top-four finish - although I don't imagine it will be a straightforward win. The Magpies are finally safe after beating QPR last weekend but, after the season they have had, I cannot see them just switching off in their last home game. I don't see the Gunners scoring two early goals and cruising home, because that doesn't seem to be the way they win games anymore. Even against Wigan on Tuesday, where they ended up convincing winners, they were under a bit of pressure before half-time. They might have to fight for it but fourth place is about par for Arsenal for the season. They are a very good team but they still look a few players short of what they will need to win the title. Prediction: 1-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Might set up a random result generator to compete with Lawro next season. With some simple rules, like it always backs the big team and the ones managed by media darlings etc. Reckon it would have a good chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Very rarely, basically journo's who slag of managers are cut off from press conferences etc. I don't understand that fear. For one, if you're a journo, they're cliche fuelled non events that offer no insight whatsoever. For another, if you're Lawro or his ilk, I doubt they've been to a pressa in a punditing capacity in their lives. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmael Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Might set up a random result generator to compete with Lawro next season. With some simple rules, like it always backs the big team and the ones managed by media darlings etc. Reckon it would have a good chance. Julian Adamson contacted BBC Sport to say he and some friends found Lawro's predictions so predictable that they played a game called 'Predicting Lawro's Predictions'. Julian argued that Lawro used only three results for most of his predictions: 1-1, 2-1 and 2-0. And the statistics do largely bear this out. Lawro only predicted that a side would score three goals in 17 of his 758 predictions (2.24%), whereas this actually happened 120 times (15.78%). And he did not predict that a side would score four goals or more in any of the 379 games. In reality, this happened 43 times out of the 760 individual scores (5.66%). Lawro does not really go for away wins. He predicted that eight teams (Aston Villa, Fulham, Norwich, Reading, Southampton, Swansea, West Brom and West Ham) would not win ANY of their away fixtures this season. In fact, Villa, Swansea and West Brom all won more away games (five) than sixth-placed Everton (four). He predicted that Fulham and West Brom would lose EVERY away game (scoring only four and six goals respectively), and drew the ire of Southampton fans by predicting they would lose 15 straight games at one stage of the season .
