Even Lawro has trolled us and then predicted us to lose 2-1. LVG has had a massive injury crisis to deal with unlike Liverpool and look where they are. Even SAF agreed to not expect much with so many injuries as it takes time. I personally think LVG is doing really well with bad refs changing rules for one team to sabotage us. I found it unny Lawro says west ham utd have won 1 of last 6 games yet predicts them to beat us a man utd side who rarely loses.

John Cooper Clarke has predicted us to win 1-2 and he is a man utd fan who I never heard of before.

Man utd have 4th best attack and 2nd best defence in terms of goals for and goals against and many goalkeepers had amazing games against us like Courtois Myhill Guzan Lloris etc.
.............................Lawro:
West Ham have only won one of their last six Premier League games but I think they will give Manchester United some problems defensively.

The pitch is so tight at Upton Park and the Hammers will load the ball in to Andy Carroll, presuming he is fit.
West Ham striker Andy Carroll

Carroll has scored five Premier League goals this season

Manchester United are in the scramble for the top four. They have been getting good results against teams who are below them and will continue to do so.

But their formation keeps changing and, if there is any weakness there, West Ham will find it - I think Hammers manager Sam Allardyce will turn this into a real battle and I am not sure if United will be able to cope with it.

When I look at what Louis van Gaal has done since taking over at Old Trafford, I would give him 6/10 so far - no more, no less.

Van Gaal has done okay but, with the embarrassment of riches that he has got in his attack, I think he should be doing better.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1
.....................................................
John's prediction: I think this is going to go Manchester United's way, but only just. Why? Wishful thinking, because we could do with three points, at least. We need more than that actually, but I suppose that is the best you can get out of one game. 1-2

West ham utd can't give us a lot of problems if they can't get the ball

Merson Man utd table
Man utd played 24 won 13/14 if west ham don't go for it drawn 7/8 if west ham go for it and lost 3.
Going by west ham not going for it Man utd P24 W14 D7 L3 GF45 GA22 +23GD PTS49 If west ham go for it P24 W13 D8 L3 GF45 GA24 +21GD 47PTS
Actual table if Man utd beat West ham say 0-2 like last season P24 W13 D7 L4 GF41 GA22 +19GD 46PTS

Merson may have got a lot of our results in games wrong out of 23 games he has got 12 results right but being near half wrong and half right means he would be bad at the bookies but good for reaching man utds points tally. If as expected he gets this result wrong he will have predicted half Man utd results wrong and half correct with 12 right and 12 wrong unless west ham who have lost 11 of last 12 league meetings and drawn the other beat us and score 2 goals which we rarely concede.

Merson predicts different to Lawro. Swansea 1-1 Man utd and Southampton 1-2 Liverpool. Arsenal have been playing far worse in premierleague games then Man utd yet he thinks Arsenal will destroy near every team. His comments about Man utd is embarrassing.

Wow even Jamie Redknapp predicts Man utd to wib Swansea 1-2 Man utd.

Anyway I hope Man utd do win as we want to have daylight between teams below us.

Wow Merson trolls man utd on comments again and makes Arsenal sound like as if they are Barcelona of 2011.

trolled:
Arsenal been playing dreadfully for weeks in the league and got away with it but punished in the CL as thats what CL is about. I see Everton just won 7-2 on aggregate in europa league. Leicester had outplayed Arsenal near a whole 2nd half so Merson is harsh on Everton. Anyway Arsenal can't keep getting lucky in the league, imagine if Man utd managed to let Crystal Palace shoot 22 times and get bombarded with corners and get outpossessed and nick an undeserved 2-1 win he would say we are lucky. Well Arsenal since then put in anpther inept display and magic Merse writes this:"So I do not see anything other than a 3-0 Arsenal win here." Yet after Man utd completely battered Swansea 2nd half with possession peppered the shot count only to be blocked 6yds out and RVP misisng the target when well placed as well as completely dominating possession as well as territorial possesion he says this:"However, while United have not been playing well recently, I still expect them to beat Sunderland".

Lawro even mentions man utd pinching results Man utd have been in really poor form and deserved to beat most sides we have faced Man utd playing with more conviction but not getting good results in last few months. Lawro predicts Man utd 2-0 Sunderland.

bloodred even LVG says similar thing today that we dominate most games/ be better team but can play better.

posted on 5/3/15

BTW Lawro never watches any of the games. He mentioned man utd away to west brom saying if not for de gea we would have lost and now trolls Villa who completely dominated the game and had enough chances to win 2 games. I had BT sport and watched that Villa game and Villa looked very good in all areas. Stats show Villa had 16 shots 8 on target to west brom 3 shots 1 on target. How you can predict west brom to win after villa dominated them so much its amazing. Yes its another game but to judge probably villas most dominant display since they beat Leicester in the league not cup as unconvincing is hilarious. These pundits like Lawro Merson don't even watch the teams they comment on or with any level of detail.

Question is will Arsenal win at OT since there smash and grab raid in 2006? The only time they got anything there was after we had a 3yd onside goal disallowed to clinch the title in our no shot on target game but we did have 1 tap in square offside when so far onside.

Merson with his expert nonsense talk:
United are waiting to be on the end of something and I can see them losing two or three nil before the end of the season. He does predict a 1-1 draw though

I know we could lose if we don't play at a good intensity but Arsenal are only doing just enough usually to win and sit very deep. Its great we are playing them now playing our best football of the season.

Circa Waves' Kieran Shudall got 17 points I believe the most by anyone this season vs lawro 9. Shudall could have even got another 6 more points quite easily to.
