View From Orient

[SteveBlade]

You only claim to like another team when you smash them.

If they beat us 2-1 and their fans chanted 'shit' after the 'United United United' chant we'd all hate them.

Always had a soft spot for Leyton fucking Orient me.

Said no one ever before today.

I rarely look at a team and think their manager has it all wrong, but at stages today Orient seemed to be playing a flat back six, yet somehow Freeman and Lafferty would still pick up the ball in twenty yards of space out wide. A bizarre set up.

Amongst their players, I also wondered what on earth the long haired fella was thinking. His idea of football seemed to be wiggling his arse about, making a yard of space, then stopping to wiggle it again. Great stuff.

I do as they're down the road and got rogered by West Ham.

Look back at Roy's thread preview before the game and read sitwells post.

My adopted Southern team ,I like Orient and I like their fans ,proper club ,always a good away trip ,and fans who love to talk footy. Hope we hammer them but wish them well ,they should have kept Kevin Nolan and that keeper who played against us last time.

there you go

Too fucking right. If there's another team I'd like to do OK, it's Orient and not just because they are the local team.

Beer anyone?

 

[moDtheGod]

Bad enough losing 6-0, it takes it to a another level when a goalscorer (Freeman) has a name that mocks our ability to defend at set-pieces

Actua-loled at that. Got to feel for them. Good effort from those that turned up to endure it.

 

[Treeton Blade]

Been there, Done that.

Remember going to Middlesboro as a cocky teen in the 1980s and getting thumped in much the same way.

And that followed on a 5-0 pasting at Leeds the away game before..happy days

Bassett played Brian Smith in midfield at Boro, didn`t work out as he thought!

 

[Wandsworth Blade]

The most incredible thing about the Leyton fans is I didn't see any of them leave before the final whistle!

 

[Grecian2000]

To be fair, I don't really have a soft spot for any club, anywhere. They've all fucked us over (well most of them) at some point.

My antipathy toward Orient stems from 1978. Easter Monday (or was it Good Friday and Fulham Easter Monday?) and a 4am start for a stupid 11am kick off and a bit of a beating. Follow this 6 months later with their ruination of Alex the Great's debut at BDTBL and they can fuck right off with the rest of 'em.

 

[Houston_Blade]

I don't like Orient, I went once and it got called off close to kick off. I wish we'd have scored 7 or had the match called off to get the bastards back for having cold weather in winter. "Overcoat warmer in London" my arse.

Blade fan Peter Kitchen scored a hat trick

 

[Grecian2000]

He did indeed Silent. It was Easter Monday (Fulham was Good Friday, also an 11am kick off).

I spoke to Peter Kitchen in a FB football nostalgia group some months ago. He said his heroes were TC and Woody

I lead a pub crawl round Walthamstow in place of the abandoned match. It was actually a top day out.

I was young and daft and I was arseholed by the time the game was called off, it just meant another 2 hours boozing rather than sobering up a bit. If I remember rightly Cotterill walked past the pub with his mum and dad just as we were walking out and told us they were having a weekend in London.

I've since been on one of your pub crawls round Walthamstow, Walthamstow.

It was indeed a top night out as I got shit faced and had a fabulous hangover the day after.

 

[DifferentClass]

Look Leeds just given the final result as Sheff Wed 6 Leyton Orient 0. Not that bad a weekend for them then!

Eh, bet they still want Carlos out!
