Challenge Lawrenson

 It’s finally here. The Premier League is back as of tomorrow apart from in one riotous corner in the north of London. Still every cloud has a silver lining, at least Everton will remain unbeaten and be leading the Game in hand over der Redshite league table for a few weeks. Bless them x

My predictions for the season

Man City won’t win the league unless there is a club out there who is willing to sell them some bottle.

Arsenal will carry on believing they are a couple of players away from winning the league while everyone realises they won’t win anything till they stop believing their own hype and buy some defenders.

Steve Kean will be lucky to still be the Blackburn manager by September.

Bolton will struggle.

Neil Warnock will be angry and bitter.

Everton will release another “Off To A Flyer” DVD, now their first game of the season’s been postponed.

Lawrenson: Tit


I’d make a whole host of predictions about who will finish where but I’d only regret them come what May. Instead I've decided to pit my wits against one of the worst pundits out there, and there is enough candidates. This season I will attempt to make more of a tit out of Mark Lawrenson than he manages to himself in my new game, a new Friday feature called, “Challenge Lawrenson”. Last season I noticed how shite he was at predicting results so this season I will try to outwit him at his own game. By the end of the season I aim to have definitive prove that anyone can do his job. He doesn’t know it, but I’m coming for you Lawrenson. I’ll see you out there....
