Thanks.

Places to drink though? I only know of Yates and Last Plantagenate where I've seen away fans before, I'd say you won't get any grief anywhere else to be honest.. Maybe avoid F Bar lol, only known trouble from West Brom this season.

  Thanks Mate

Surely they will be feeling jaded with this being their 3rd big game in a week. As the game goes on, I think that could be telling and we can do as we did against Sunderland and hit them on the counter when their legs and concentration are wavering. Win this and hope for a miracle at Stoke!

think west ham could be perfect for us, can see a third 2-1 against them this season. Morgan and Huth will love playing against Carroll, Kante should nullify Payet, their full backs love to bomb forward and we all know how that went for man city against us. Adrian's kinda shit too and I could see him gifting us a goal and on top of that, their two centre backs are quite slow so i can see vardy having a bit of fun against them.

 

Dont take this as me underestimating them but they do seem a team who is better at beating possession teams who dont attack at pace - they conceded 3 against a pretty poor arsenal team last week and I think considering we've won 6 in 7, we do have cause to be confident that we'll win this too.

It's stat time

West Ham United have won twice as many of the meetings (10) between these two sides in the Barclays Premier League than Leicester (five), with two draws.

The Hammers have lost just four of their last 16 Premier League away games (W6 D6 L4).

Leicester City have kept seven clean sheets in their last eight Premier League matches at the King Power Stadium.

N'Golo Kante has made the most tackles (146) and interceptions (134) in the Premier League this season.

Jamie Vardy (21 goals) is the first Leicester City player to surpass the 20-goal mark in a top-flight season since Gary Lineker in 1984-85 (24).

Just two of Andy Carroll's 12 Premier League goals since the start of 2014-15 have come away from home.

Leicester City have kept five consecutive clean sheets in the top-flight for the first time in their history.

The Foxes have only trailed for 47 minutes in their 22 Premier League games played since the start of November 2015.

Dimitri Payet has had a hand in seven goals in his last seven Premier League appearances (three goals, four assists).

Payet has created 94 goalscoring chances for the Hammers in the Premier League this season; 49 more than any other player (Mark Noble; 45, the next best).

Neither pessimistic nor weak willed, personally I've always been a realist. All I was doing was posing a word of caution before some of you make fools of yourselves.

You see maybe the reason some of us have doubts is because we've seen it all before. I like others old enough on here remember the last time we where top of the League. Funnily we also had 5 Games to go then also, and blew it. It didn't seem possible then either. Then having to suffer ridicule from Family and friends for years after. Could history repeat itself, of course it could. as we well know with our FA cup finals results.

The thing is we haven't won anything yet, Some of you have difficulty understanding that simple fact. all we've done is given ourselves a fantastic opportunity.

Do I think we will blow it again this time, no I don't. But that has just as much to do with non football reasons as it does to what happens on the pitch.

I'd hate for you or your like minded posters suffer such ignominy as happened me in the 60s. So maybe you should think twice before posting silly posts.

Silly post or differing opinion?

It's a forum diferent views are allowed.

I think you've got twitchy arse syndrome and I understand why, not my way and I don't like negativity and with making people nervous when we're so clearly in the box seat.

Each to their own :)

I agree with @@Clever Fox

I cringed when I listened to Radio Leicester and they were so over confident that they think this is just a procession now and someone even said it's "done and dusted".

We still need 9pts from five games, anything less than that and we are relying on other teams to do us a favour.

Failure to win our last three home games will result in us having to win away at Man Utd or Chelsea. The other route is two wins and three draws which will still need us going to Man Utd and Chelsea and getting something from both those games.

We could quite feasibly get 8pts from our last five fixtures which is a great return considering our opposition and it still not being enough. Anyone who thinks this is all over bar a disaster is seriously naive about how close this still is.

If it's that close and not over what odds are you going to offer me to reflect that point of view and how much will you accept in a wager? :)

Just accept the fact you've got twitchy arse syndrome and seek help :)

We have an 80% chance of winning it from here but that's far from "done and dusted" phrase that the idiot on Radio Leicester proclaimed.

 

One time in every five we blow this so yes I have an arsehole twitching like a rabbit's nose at the minute.

 

I just cringe when people talk like this is a forgone conclusion, I just want this so bad I can't consider this done until it mathematically is and hate the blase attitude of some people.

 

It's not the ones who are confident that get my goat but the ones who think it's as good as done.

Making a fool of myself because i believe we will win the league. Nonsense.....couldn't give f^ck who ridicules me for believing now that we will get the job done.  Possibly in your mind I'm being overly optimistic but not having won anything yet. We've won the hearts of the world, won a ton of games, won a spot in the champions league, we've won so much just being in this position. I'm enjoying every minute and if we go the extra mile and win it all.......fantastic.....no twitchy arse syndrome for me.

 

Okay just read your last post.....no I don't think it's done.....just one hell of an optimist :)

Hi Chaps,,... user name and all that

 

Best place for a beer after the game please ?

 

And from everyone at Upton Park please win the league ( well after hopefully we don't lose  Sunday )

 

Life will not be worth living if the spuds win it ... talk about deluded they think they are a massive massive club when in truth they are 2 nd in north London

 

Anyway so pleased for you and a proper football club with real fans you are

 

 

Ps don't give any free kicks away around the box ( he was poor yesterday so beware hahaha )

 

Few bars in this thread but it's old, and they're more for pre-game so may not be relevant

Believe me, despite my persona I've lived 46 years of reality :)

Give me this 80% chance and I'm confident I will enjoy the ride to the championship.

Yes the fkn Championship

Chaaaaaaaaaaaaarge

As we embark on what could prove to be the most notable 30 day period in the clubs history, I think it's incumbent upon us to try and enjoy it. Certainly those who attend the games must make sure any nerves don't transmit to the players. We aren't chasing. We aren't fighting an even fight. We are two losses clear of the nearest ream. I'm confident but that doesn't mean I don't feel nerves, especially as game day approaches. but once I get to the ground, I have to avoid any doubt. we are 'the twelfth man' and we have to make the most of the next three home games. this may never happen again in our lifetimes. It's not a time for arguing over anything. It's a time of sucking it up, breathing it in deep, gurgling it around for as long as you can and letting it out in a slow controlled fashion. In years and decades to come, we will remember this 30 days, (hopefully )with great fondness, for some of you it will the best 30 days of your lives. - don't spoil it for yourselves - lap it up!

Every time I go to West Ham I stick a few quid on the opposition, gives me a pint and a bag of chips to console myself on the way home.

Reading your forum I have to agree with St Albans post here, your team are doing what's required with minimal fuss and panic.

I don't know how you managed this, it defies logic, but a solid manager, a hard working squad and a cracking set of fans has got you this far, you are not the underdogs and are rightly top of the league, I reckon you had this in the bag weeks ago.

You can afford to drop the odd point here and there but for gods sake don't get the jitters, it will spread to the players like wild fire.

You are all on the verge of something stupidly special, history in the making, changing the face of the premier league after decades of top four domination, gives all us others the inspiration to believe that we can do the same, this is bloody

Enjoy it, lap it up, I'm not about to buy a Leicester shirt, but I won't need my consolation pint on Sunday if we come away with nothing, it will be worth it for the grin I'll give my spurs mates on Monday morning!

I think we look tired, Wednesday was tough and not feeling to confident myself, who knows eh?

Theres a few of us trying to tell the twitchy arse brigade this!

Nerves do transmit, ordinarily I look forward to seeing games against WHU as I like the club always have , with all due respect,you are seen as a more unfashionable London club!

Good manager, some real quality and flair and I really hope you're shocking on Sunday :)

RIGHT! I don't get to many matches anymore so I'm gonna sing until I puke, wave my arms till they ache and thrash my clapper to shreds and bloody enjoy this game!
