For starters, does his name rhyme with penis or anus?

From the BBC

"I certainly don't have anything against West Ham," Lawro said the following week. "In fact I almost joined them as a teenager - they offered me an apprenticeship before I joined my hometown team Preston."

He could have been one of our heroes. :crylol:

Am I correct in remembering that he made a brief appearance as a guest on the original KUMB podcast to explain his bad West Ham prediction skills?

All of a sudden Middlesbrough look full of confidence and it all stemmed from the win against Arsenal.

Tuncay Sanli is starting to look like the player Boro hoped he would be when they signed him in the summer and is among the goals.

West Ham are still huffing and puffing and two defeats in four days at the hands of Everton would not have helped their confidence.

Nice to see the **** get only one correct result last week :lol: :thup:

Then maybe we would have gone five years unbeaten!

So glad he's retiring, can't stand how miserable he is.

What's Cockney rhyming slang for Chris Sutton?

Based on week one, he sounds almost as insightful as the blessed Lawro:
