The Leicester Vs West Ham Match Thread

[mitch01]

I like it when WHU win and people start saying: 'There is absolutely no chance we'll stay second now!'

 

But what about the 2/3/4/5 more points we have than them?

 

Even if WHU win I think we'll finish it on the final day! COYR

[obelisk]

Watch the ref in this game, will be some strange decisions to keep the season alive for Sky at the weekend.

Monday evening's referee will be Mr Eddie Ilderton.

Ilderton has never taken charge of a West Ham United game but has refereed one Leicester City game this season. He was the man in black for the Foxes 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Millwall.

[stockbridge_saint]

You know I think the number of Saints fans putting money on West Ham to win has changed the odds. I got 15/8 on skybet as soon as we lost on saturday but now they're offering 6/5. That's a big difference

there will be no doubt that West Ham will come out and bombard the Leicester penalty area...just hope kasper has a great game

[Wade Garrett]

West Ham couldn't beat Bristol last week, so it won't be easy for them tonight. The fact that Leicester are at home, and there manager is Sergeant Major Pearson, doesn't suggest to me that they will take it easy.

 

If West Ham win, then fair play to them. Personally I couldn't give a monkeys if they win 10-0. Control the controllables. Win against Coventry.

[Matthew Le God]

Nigel Pearson was a 1st team coach at Newcastle under Fat Sam. Still friends...?

 

Conversely, he would know Davis, Bialkowski and Lallana from his time at Saints.

 

Cancelled out, crisis averted!

Oh! Not good, defo 3 points for West Ham then!

SPOT ON, you only have to look at the Prem, Utd were so far behind city and got so many decisions there way, all results in a huge game on Sky in a weeks time. funny that!

[Thedelldays]

in some perverse way...It would be better for West Ham to not win tonight...as if they do, they will have to go hammer and tongs against Hull...we will beat Coventry, I have no doubt and a valuable resting period for their better players would be lost before going away to a tricky game in the playoffs

 

winning tonight, just delays the inevitable for them

How I would like to think BFS is thinking that way.. Somehow I doubt it.

[doggface]

I am ****ing ****ting it, pathetic I know

 

That's just the way it is

[Shroppie]

Do we really have a thread about a non-Saints game with over 60 posts 4 hours before KO?

[kpturner]

EIther my head is going to explode or I am going to be sick.......I don't know which will happen first, and there are still more than four hours to wait until kick-off.

[Thedelldays]

yes..as this game is massive for us....3 results possible and west ham only have the option of getting the hardest one

And there's me not realising it mattered

[Thedelldays]

And there's me not realising it mattered

its crazy isn't it.....could all be over in about 7 hours

 

I am going to the pictures so will look at my sky sports app when I come out to get the final score....arrrgh

I know that moment. That was the way I found the Plymouth score last year once I was back in range. Went mental.

 

But also how I heard the Blackpool result a few weeks back.

[DT]

Can't decide whether to do my Middlesbrough trick (watch the game through fingers clasped to my head in despair), or my Peterbrough trick (turn phone back on and read messages just after final whistle). Latter trick worked, former didn't.

[Appy]

It's ironic, in 2008 we sent Leicester out of the league the other way and now they have the chance to send us out of this league the other way.

 

Nigel Pearson of course involved on both occasions.

Foxes **** off people in East London. Is it a sign?

[CLOTH EARS]

One things for sure if West ham win tonight i expect to see a load of panicking nancy's on here after 10pm! lol

[saints-cris]

On this day last year, Saints beat Brighton 2-1 with Fonte's winner. Good omen.

[SNSUN]

I'm glad to see people putting bets on a West Ham win! Either the bookies will take a raping tonight or we'll be celebrating promotion! I'm tempted to add to my £250 bet actually, so sure that I am that West Ham will win tonight...

[Thedelldays]

well, can only assume leicester will go for it....talk on the leicester forum that pearson job may not be safe so a strong end to the season is essential

 

they have a fully fit squad to pick from and are very very good at home

[Saint Fan CaM]

Of course Wet Sham will win tonight - Sky have made sure of that and money talks. Just forget tonight and start worrying about whether the team turn up for the game Saturday.

Wouldn't suprise me if that's the case, their owners are hot heads to say the least. They want success and they want it now.

 

and to be fair 15m spent in the championship should kind of equal at least a playoff place, if managed properlly.

Is Pearson's record much better than that of Sven??

[Thedelldays]

they have bee really good at home...its their away record that has them stumped I think

 

they have not lost at home since 14 January...and won 5 out of the last 7 at home too..

 

surely SURELY just one more undefeated, last game of the season for them???

[Saint Garrett]

Do people REALLY think that Sky pay refs to be biased to make sure it goes to the final day ?! Are you for real !?

[stev2001]

My prediction 2-2. Will quote this loads later tonight when I'm right and we are all celebrating

[Leicestersaint]

Up the Foxes!

[Matthew Le God]

Up the Foxes!

 

Are you going tonight? If so wear a Saints shirt, cameras are bound to pick you out of the crowd.

I don't want to put a downer on them at home as they have been very good but millwall and barnsley have beaten them there this season. Not 2 of the best teams in this league!

[stev2001]

Leicester are 6th in the form table for the season at home........one place below Brighton. How did Brighton do against West Ham at home

and one place above Cardiff........CC 0 - WH 2.

 

Sorry being negative......I'll stick with my prediction of 2-2

[Glasgow_Saint]

£100 on the West Ham win now...... Helps keep me calm knowing ill win either way!

[S-Clarke]

It doesn't help that the echo are running a live 'chat' feed for this game. It's being built up too much! Everyone will end up deflated going into Saturday...

[Legod Third Coming]

I suggest we all watch something else on TV, turn off the PC, iPads, mobiles and then just turn on SSN at 9.40. That is what I am doing. Cannot stand it anymore. Its the hope that hurts so much - we cannot affect or control it.

 

Nonsense!!! By the same token we shouldn't attend SMS or ever listen to or watch a game of our own!!!

 

Tonight, Matthew, I have adopted a gruff psuedo-Midlands-cum-Derby accent, I shall be drinking a swift brown ale, I shall be pretending I work for British Gas in Hinkley and cheering the Foxes from the Rafters!!!

 

Lii-ine-kerr, L-ii-ine-kerr

Blu'army, Blu'army, Blu'army

Nigel Pearson's blue and white army, we 'ate Derby, Forest, County, Coventry, Villa, Burton Albion*

 

*Apologies my football geography of the Midlands is not exact!

[Saint Garrett]

Why will they? Everyone knows it is a huge game for us tonight, but only if we end up getting up. We still will want to win on Saturday and we'll still be 2 points clear of West Hoof United.

Exactly! But i just know the mindsets of people on this site, if WHU win all will be over.(!)!)

[stev2001]

More stats

Leicester are 3rd in the form table at home (last 6 matches) one above Saints

Wet sham are also 3rd in the away form table (last 6 matches)

Could be close......A draw is a fair result then!

2-2 I'm telling you.

my mate from work has facebook'd me and (who is a cov season ticket holder)...and said they are that poor, they just hope they can keep it at 3 goals to us...

he said they are terrible and are playing "the kids" and at best a league 1 mid table team with no direction

[dannysfc]

I'm looking forward to it tonight tbh as it'd be sooo Good if Nigel Pearson helped us out and got us to the Promoted and to the

Premier League without kicking a ball which will be Sweet so I have a feeling that Leicester could sneak it either 2-1 or 3-2 and

if West Ham win they win and will still be 2 points ahead and that I think we'l go on and rip Coventry apart on Saturday

But we'l see!!!

Come on Leicester n COYR!!!

[stev2001]

Lets not forget this is the last home game of the season for Leicester. The players should/will be going for it in this one for the fans support over the season. Their last game away at Leeds won't mean as much.

[trousers]

£50 on West Ham. Just don't mention it to the missus!!
