Mark Lawrenson's Prediction : Portsmouth 1 vs Manutd 1?

Question

Mark Lawrenson has predicted the Portsmouth Vs Manchester United match will end in a 1-1 draw. What do you think ?

Harry Redknapp is a really good man manager. He knows that top-level footballers are millionaires and that you can only deliver a blast to them every so often.

Pompey lost 4-0 at Chelsea on the opening day of the season. That result was probably the culmination of Pompey not quite being on it during pre-season and I expect that Harry has given his players something of a wake-up call.

Defensively they were all over the shop against Chelsea and you would expect a good response.

Man Utd are notoriously sluggish starters and Fratton Park is a difficult place to go.

Pompey 3 - 2 ManUre

Answer 6

i believe this time man.utd will win 1-0 but thats what was being said about their match with newcastle plus they played at home

still,i think this time they will win

Answer 7

As usual Pompey will have a go at United. I have a feeling its gonna be a draw, but im hoping for a goal filled game. Fratton Park is a dump, yet its their foretress. United have only won there once since 2003. Which isnt good... Im gonna say 2-1 United though... late winner.

Answer 8

1-1 was my prediction for the match too. No idea who Mark Lawrenson is btw...

Answer 9

Yours seems a reasonable analysis apart from the fact that Man Utd will be smarting after dropping points in their first game. It will be close but I think the team that scores first will go on to win 2-1.

Answer 10

I think he's being optimistic. If we don't get Tevez back, it'll more likely be a 0-0 draw IMHO.

Also, what does a Scunthorpe fan have against United?

And how can someone call themselves a "Football Adict" but not know who Mark Lawrenson is?

Answer 11

Lawrenson is a t**t everybody knows it.

Answer 12

Portsmouth 2-1 Man Utd
