If pundits were supposed to get results wrong then David Prutton of Sky Sports would be one of the very best in the business – at least where Newcastle United are concerned.
David never seems to get his predictions right for the Magpies – we were supposed to lose to both Brighton and Huddersfield, but we won them both.
Then he relented and said we would beat Reading away – but we only drew.
David Prutton – Sky Sports pundit predicts Newcastle win – what’s going on?
Then for the Wigan game after the International break, David said this had banana skin written all over it and predicted a 2-2 draw.
This while seemingly predicting wins for Brighton and Huddersfield almost every single game – as he did for their Saturday games when the Terriers actually lost to Burton at home.
At least now he has admitted he cannot get his Newcastle predictions right.
That’s very true.
🙂
Here’s what David has said about tomorrow night’s game at home to Burton Albion:
“We’ve seen Newcastle struggle against teams down the bottom: Wolves, Blackburn and QPR when they were down there.”
“I just can’t get Newcastle right. When I go draw, they win, when I go win, they draw. My head’s all over the place.” (so is mine)
“But I’m going to side with a narrow home win with Dwight Gayle getting the winner.” (oh no!)
Prutton Prediction: 1-0
The last time he predicted a home win for us (2-0) was when we could only draw 2-2 with Bristol City.
So we have all been warned.
Yes he predicts wins again for Brighton – at home Birmingham tonight (2-0) and Huddersfield (2-1) at home to Norwich tomorrow night.
Same old same old.

Comment #1I guess on the law of averages he has to get our result correct sometime – let’s hope it is tomorrow night but hopefully with a more comfortable score than he predicts – Saturday was tense enough!
