Independent Leyton Orient Forum

A giant in our community - a humble one, but a giant nonetheless. If there were more people like him in the world, it would be a much better place. Even the manner of his passing was typical of him - didn't make much fuss, but chose to fight on - and endure the pain - to see Orient promoted, at Wemb...

... it's hardly surprising we ended up with Johnson & Corbyn, is it? It is surprising because hardly anyone voted for either. They were selected by their party members, and in Corbyn's case , £3 registered supporters. Yeah - when the only qualification for decision making is how engaged you are...

we see this fickle, reactive yo-yo-ing between extreme and polarised nonsense positions amongst fellow football fans all the time. After making democracy more direct and open to ordinary punters, it's hardly surprising we ended up with Johnson & Corbyn, is it?

Good luck to the pair of them. I can't wait to see them tearing up Championship defences, and banging in a few goals.

5'10" it says on Wiki (for Carroll), but I'm not convinced.

That Addai who played against us for Cheltenham on the opening day was pretty tiny too, and his wiki claims he's 5'8", which seems... optimistic

Tommy Carroll was pretty petite, wasn't he?

The formation isn't the issue.

Thanks. This was another example of something not working well on IE (on my work computer, anyway)

hopefully this doesn't augur problems for tomorrow...

Saw this on Twitter - can't find it on the website today though, and no idea how/where to sign up. Anyone got a clue?

End of.

I think this is more or less exactly what Prop Joe was talking about in his first post on this thread.

Yes, of course I would. And I'm already starting to "transition", albeit slowly. The typical person doesn't have strong views either way on this subject. Which means that as soon as veganism becomes as easy (or easier) than non-veganism, and as cheap (or cheaper) you'll see lots more peopl...

Didn't that left back end up playing for us?

Signs a year's extension to his contract, goes on the sick after 15 minutes. Result!

Alabi scored 2 goals in the NL last year. Him getting 5 in this league is laughable. Was the wrong choice of sub yesterday and I think it was Ross going heart over head. Tbf to the lad, he didnt do badly but his hold up play in the last 5 minutes was laughable. Ross and Webb were both shaking their...

Get your injuries out of the way in pre-season. All part of the plan.

Spoke to Brill about that rumour at the Star Man dinner - he flatly denies it. MOTWYW

Interesting that this comes on the day the Alabi news comes out You think the two are connected? A few different people have said that we were in talks with him (guess this still might be a possibilty but with Watford) to come back, presumably on loan. Likelihood they aren't connected but may now b...

I agree that it's a bit weird some of our fans seem so excited by this news.

He's on a decent wedge here - offers did come in for him, but none were close to what he's on here. So he wouldn't leave - and that's fair enough. Him being taken off the list is just a recognition of a reality. Give him another few months and pay him off at the New Year if he's still cack. But it ...

Dalby will come in, if we can offload Alabi

which is, as others have observed, not easy as other clubs won't be offering him equal or better terms than his current contract

Didn't know he retired from playing

Akwaaba!

Perhaps this whole lasagne thing is just a sly little dig at Spurs: https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgi ... -the-shts/

this thread is the now classic mix of (1) "I can't believe we would sell our best players, we're doomed, I hate this club and everything it stands for!!1!" and (2) "he's crap anyway, he'll never succeed at that level, never rated him, I hope he rots" etc etc

I'm going to get the season ticket that I haven't even received yet, tear it into little pieces, and shove it through Macklin's letterbox together with a strongly worded tweet about Stormzy's performance at Glastonbury AND WHY HAVEN'T WE LEFT THE EU YET!?!?
