Well it's the final countdown at the Boleyn Ground. After the great start against Arsenal it will be interesting to see the tactics SB applies for home matches. Leicester have had a good start. In fact it could be said both teams have lost the element of surprise. A good win tomorrow could send out a fortress UP statement. I'm always cagey about my predictions but I'm going for a 3-1 win. I think our travels around Europe have our fitness levels higher than other Premiership Clubs and this might count. Your views.
I wont predict, cus if I do
I wont predict, cus if I do it won't happen! :-) But hope we take this game as seriously as we did the Arsenal match, and don't do what they did with us: Under-estimate the the opposition, because if we do that we will lose! Think it will be tight.
First game of the season
For me,i cant wait!The old girl will be rocking,for the last season at the boleyn...i wonder if we will get a rendition of"knees up mother brown"...by the way 2 nil to the hammers!!
Lawro prediction
Will win 'cos Lawro has got us down for a defeat :-)
All through our good run in
All through our good run in the first half of last season he kept on with his predictions that we would lose, almost as though he wasn't watching how well we were doing. Eventually, when we surrendered after Christmas, his predictions matched reality. I wonder how long (IF we go on a good run this season) he will take to give us any credit this year? It was strange how all those 'media mates' of Allardyce, who were so fast to slag us off for not being "careful what you wish for!" were all, like Lawreson, telling us how lucky we were to have Sam, while simultaneously predicting his football would lose West Ham most games!!! They are (almost) all imbeciles.

Paul Merson on Sky Sports got the score too!!
I Think
This game could go either way. I've enjoyed the euphoria of our win against Arsenal but getting back to the nitty gritty and we see that we only had 8 shots to Arsenals twenty two. Arsenal truthfully were woeful and profligate in front of goal, not to mention Adrian had the sort of game Robbie Green enjoyed in our last win at The Emirates whilst Cech was something from a Mr Bean script. Not going to put any money on a result but wouldn't be surprised to get a reality check.
I can agree with some of the
I can agree with some of the points you make here, we have always lacked consistency as well, we would perform well one game and a looked a different team in next game, hopefully the new manager can stop that. I think it'll be a close game but the atmosphere will be fantastic which could give our players an extra yard, I don't think we'll lose but I don't know whether we'll take all 3 points either

Optimistic
I'll go for a 2-0 win and one of them will be a penalty...I think our pace and fitness levels will sucker in the Leicester to badly timed tackles.
yep 2-0 myself , gota be
yep 2-0 myself , gota be something special to beat our keeper
Reality check
As they say, form is temporary and class is permanent. Reality check for Leicester who will lose this game to classy Hammers by a 2 goal margin. How about an open game and 4-2 scoreline?
