I like the "Time to show them what we're made of - Leyton Orient 0 Sheffield Utd 4"

Both clubs are shadows of what they were last season. Orient were amongst the favourites this season and we were THE favourite.

However, they were 35 minutes away from the Championship, 2-0 up at half-time, we're finishing higher than last time.
 
Ahh bless em, seriously we should win this one, if the team has given up as well as the fans, an early goal from us should open the food gates, I'm going for a 4-0 win to the blades. wee Murphy 2, Holt 1, Jose 1 pen
 
We're 17/10 to win on Saturday, they are actually favourites at 7/4.

Us, Wolves (to win at Wigan) and Derby (to win at Millwall) pays 11/1.

Fancy that.
 



Hard for me not to feel some sympathy for the O's supporters, having stood on their terraces many times when I lived in London. What's happened there is a dream turned nightmare in more ways than one. I have so much more time for them than their claret and blue neighbours. But I will suspend that until Sunday and I hope we smash them.

The cheap tickets may get numbers in but if you ever thought BDTBL is a morgue, Brisbane Road is far, far worse when things aren't going right - the silence is deafening. I sincerely hope its the Shoreham Boys making all the noise.

ps I had Orient down for top 6 at the beginning of the season - shows what I know.
 
I would have thought in their position at present, Sheffield United would be the team they wanted to play. For a start they will certainly score at least one goal from our charitable back four.

Agreed. I want us to win, obviously, but I also want Orient to stay up. They're a decent bunch and an easy away trip.
 
Do any other team have "A view from..."? I want to see if they go all Inception and shit and start quoting each other in some sort of infinite loop. Will the universe break?
 
Clough doing the usual to cover himself

"When you look at their squad on paper it is as good as anything in the league and if anything is stronger than the one that took them to the play-off final last season."

Thats why they are 21st Nige :rolleyes:

I was accused of being demented at the start of the season when I suggested that we had a better team than Orient....
 
Before that was Forest in 1993?

Bloody Hell, I'd forgotten that!

Is this the season Nigel gets his own back on us?

To be fair, I think his dad was rather moved by the tremendous ovation we gave him that day. Might not have been so charitable if they'd have won and helped us toward the drop.

I seem to remember it was the Blades fans chanting in praise of BC for considerable parts of the match and the Forest fans not.

Fancy that.

If we're 17/10, that's 1.7 chance.

If they're 7/4, that's a 1.75 chance.

At those odds, we're favourites ... :D
