Beckles being beckles-y

No but James can play a bit but really doesn’t seem motivated whereas Omar really can’t play but thinks he can, resulting in regular heart stopping moments!

I love RW, but he is not the most successful manager out there yet. If clubs want a manager with promotion success on their CV there are better options out there Idiot post of the year. Come on then, who are these better managers who would come to the O's? No-one knows who would and wouldn't come t...

Surely everyone knows by now that since Devlin became CEO these are ticket-sold figures not attendance figures. For the stadium announcer to state these on a weekly basis as the "attendance" isn't even disingenuous, it is a lie. All done to impress and attract potential advertisers, spons...

Not sure I'd keep James, he plays like a footballer who secretly wishes he was an accountant.

Beckles' main problem is overplaying it.

Sounds harsh but I think he thinks he's better on the ball than he actually is.

If he sticks to the basics he's perfectly fine.

It's been an amazing season for sure, and I'm happy to think about what might have been but (there's always a but) I don't think we're ready for the next level yet at either a squad or organisational level. If we somehow fluked promotion via the playoffs, for all the excitement, I think we'd get hor...

Not a Piggot fan, but this thread feels like rubbing salt in the wound, so I’m out.

What was going on at the end there?

Well played O's

If only he was in a position to do something about it

I actually think it's not bad value for a tenner, and light years better than when it first started.

The presenters aren't professionals, what are you expecting for £10 - Sky sports?

I'm at a loss to see what the backers of Reform hope to achieve apart from emptier bank balances.

Tell me about Leyton Orient in the style of Donald Trump.... Leyton Orient, folks, let me tell you, they’re tremendous, really tremendous. They play football, and they play it big league, believe me. Nobody plays football like Leyton Orient. They’re winners, okay? Winners. And let me tell you, their...

Young Boys always seemed an odd name to me.

I mean you can proudly say 'I love Leyton Orient', but them - not so much

They were also very quick to sign up to the Sky deal which takes over from next season, so they can't have been that thrilled by the success of their in-house offer. £300k sounds like a lot, but I think this will also include the audio service as well? So will the existing streaming not be availabl...

We obviously ballsed up bringing a forward in in January, which the club will learn from. Other than that, the recruitment has clearly been good, or at least good enough, as we're 9th in our first season up and have a core of young talented players for next year. An outsider looking at our position...

Quite. It seems in our squad only Brown and James are willing to try a through ball through the middle and in their absence everything goes down the wings.

Daily Mail Group is owned by a non dom Viscount, whatever the f*** that is. The Russian who Boris gave a peerage owns the Evening Standard although I think thats fairly irrelevant nowadays. GB News- who owns that? Apparently they are broadcasting ‘turbo cancer’ conspiracy theories and .. Ofcom say ...

Can we replace the East London line with the East, East, East London line please?

Fantastic match. Well done O's.

O'Neill - Oh Yes!

I hear that's the life of a goalie

Their #9 is as bad as ours

Riding our luck at the moment
