Some people are ceaseless..........yawn

Anybody see the point of having a transfer window? Not really, hinders clubs like ourselves from being able to bring in players when the squad is ravaged by injuries. Maybe clubs should be able to bring in emergency loans like they can with keepers. When windows were brought in, bigger clubs were j...

Lovely stuff.

We have to make the loss manageable. Its not a benevolent society.

Here’s the answer - if your partner is popping to the shops, and she says “do you want anything?”, if you say “a couple of beers”, you mean two. Three is a bonus but not expected. If you say “a few beers” and get three, you’d feel shortchanged but not able to say anything cos you didn’t specify. Fo...

Very publicly saying that Pigott isn't his kind of player is also a massive power move, given how much money JP is on. I don't know why we signed Pigott in the first place if he doesn't suit our style of play . People said on here he was a panic signing so maybe they were right . Agreed, but last s...

Amen to that!

These football pundits seem to be spending more time producing material for youtube than working for Sky/TNT these days.

Had an Erdinger 0% at the weekend. It was very drinkable, but I was handed it as a promo at the end of a sporting event and was not up for drinking any type of beer. I'd drink it against if I were the nominated chauffeur one weekend.

I love that bloke. Proper baller and a good human.

If he never steps on a pitch for us again I will be gutted, but will always follow his progress.

I reckon he’s had his Barnet done a la Theo and something done to his gnashers 😂 Who gives a Fcuk though, the man is staying in E10 and keeping us all entertained 👍 Rogers Hair fashions have branched out! Riza's Hair Fashions (Istanbul) Earns enough money to have it done in the UK - but if he's got...

True what RW says If we can go into next season with: Happe, Simpson, Beckles & Cooper as our 4 x CBs, we can build on that solid base. Add another FB to James & Sweeney, although I do believe we need 2 x FB, as I want to see Gailbraith further forward. Then GK aside, we can look at bringin...

Ok guys I’ll hold my hands up, I was wrong.and I’m glad I was. However I think the recent speculation has brought this announcement forward. What with Ipswich looking like there going up, as I have said before, El Miz will sign. I can’t be wrong again,can I ? Of course you can be :D But I hope you ...

AND HE GOT BADLY BURNT BY IT.

Because of RW rumours or something else? Leyton Orient’s Player of the Season: Ruel Sotiriou. Award presented by G Shaw !! :lol: I wondered if you'd pick up on that one, gave me a chuckle Best way to put these RW rumours to bed will be if it gets posted up on TC9 Twitter / X account then we'll know...

This - plus he’s a bit of a character around the training ground. I think he probably adds to the squads morale.

No risk at all until he uses his Orient shares as collateral to buy other clubs. Well they are paid for so what is the issue. I doubt if anyone would accept Orient shares as collateral. Anyone sensible would ask for a bank guarantee Which he obviously doesn’t have, hence what’s going on at other cl...

A penneths worth: Barnsley sacked their manager because they need a boost before the play off's. Their replacement should be in place for the weekend. They cannot afford a delay. There is no way Orient would move so quickly unless offered premiership money. There are also 2 big assumptions. Barnsle...

What happens when he has to find 20% of next years operating loss???

The next round of funding deals with that. If he does not put in any money to that his holding in Orient shrinks.

Let’s all celebrate with the Rwanda bill going through 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 To be honest, I don’t think it’s going to work anyway but something had to be done. The French don’t seem to be tackling the people smugglers so I don’t think the Labour idea will work either . I can’t see immigration stopping until som...

I wouldn't particularly want Wellens to go chiefly because I wouldn't really know who to replace him. I think he is overrated though. He’s the best manager we’ve had in my 40+ years. I’m not sure what people expect someone to achieve in a little over 2 years. Those people won't know what they had u...

Idiot post of the year.

Come on then, who are these better managers who would come to the O's?

This - and I would be very surprised if Ritchie's new deal was not signed before the Shrewsbury game. In fact, if I could get a bet on it at the bookies then I would.

How many more have tablets of some sort? I reckon that number is higher still. Phones or tablets they are all the same. No kid uses a phone to make a call these days.
