No surprise that he's backing us to win 2-0 this weekend but I was taken aback at his comments about us getting knocked out of the League Cup. No it was his comments "lest we forget that Man Utd got knocked out of the same tournament last season by Coventry but went on to win the Premiership and Champions league double". Blimey, he's really starting to rate us isn't he?

More likely to be that as a former Liversh*te player, he's attempting to put the mockers on.

Spot on Lofty.

I just viewed Lawro's predictions a couple of minutes ago and was thinking of posting something similar myself. It was a good point he made and although he would probably secretly like to see us f**k up, I think he does rate us. Lets not let him down!

He has a point though... Man Ure generally get knocked out by someone like Southend in the third round every year...

In the last few years (with the exception of the one they won), I remember them losing to Southend, Coventry and West Brom in early rounds of the League Cup. Ah well...

Let me qualify by saying I only see "lawro" through his predictions on BBC, because I am stateside, but I feel like he has always been fair in his predictions regarding us.

Id say 50% of the time, he has picked us to win 2-0 or better
