Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Watching 'Dispatches' on Channel 4, on life inside Gaza, these last 8 months A real hard watch. Seeing 5 year olds with legs hanging off, have just seen their parents blown to pieces is very hard. Dad's in an ambulance holding their 2 year old daughter, dripping with blood. Zionism will pay a heavy...

People will always vote for a main political party in a general election instead of an independent. Bye bye Jezza. Slightly off topic but I don’t know what’s happening with Diane Abbott . if she stands as an independent it will be goodbye to her as well. You vastly misjudge how popular Jezza is as ...

Are you saying a vote for Labour is a wasted vote? It seems that way! I'm saying when you have two very similar parties to vote for, elections do not deliver the change so desperately needed by working class people. The working class no longer has a party to represent and advance its interests. How...

I get the feeling you’d be mystified by how a tea spoon works.

I used to work for BT from 1979 which was then still part of the Post Office. Because of the Royal Charter and the fact that the Royal Mail is protected, they had their own internal police unit, the Investigation Bureau. They had proper legal powers, they were usually ex-Police and could be very int...

You know that scene near the end of Alien where Ripley sets the timers off for detonating the Nostromo, and then minutes later desperately tries to turn them off?

Just saying.

Not me. My wife came home at 3am pissed as a fart after watching it with friends and is now snoring like a buffalo which is why I’m awake at 5am browsing my phone

They probably got wind of the notorious Mr B transistor radio incident in the south enclosure in the early 90’s.

It sounds very much like goodbye to me. He’s been great for us and in all honesty he’s probably deserving of a chance at a higher level and I’m fairly sure that he’ll be looking at his options elsewhere. I don’t blame him at all if that’s the case.

Graham is a good winger but has a past history of being rather injury prone.

Whatever gave you that impression?

I expect DuvB will blame Sadiq Khan for this.

Proud of it? It was largely a shithole when I was growing up, nothing to be proud of

Nah. Switched off and nearly let a back pass in first half. At fault for the goal. At fault for the far post cross where he took out one of our players. Spilled one straight forward shot into the danger zone (but did get up and done well with the rebound). Let’s not get carried away. We’re not. But...

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. Yes, I think he's overrated, not so muc...

Wellens is an odd one. He’s done a job here for sure, but it does seem like he’s never really been content with it here. I don’t think he’s very likeable and has a knack for rubbing people up the wrong way, including his employers.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he he left in the summer, tbh.

Isn’t it about time every club outside the PL got together and forced a vote of no confidence in the FA? They’re clearly not fit for purpose any longer.

My favourite part of that Boston story was when HMRC raided the club, an employee was spotted running from the offices
across the pitch carrying a desktop PC.

Not exactly a high bar, is it?

Zahra Maeve ******, my first granddaughter, born to my son Joe (named for the great Joe Mayo) and his partner Yas on April 1st. She’s got her first Orient baby outfit and is destined for a lifetime of mostly disappointment. Welcome to your Orient family, Zahra.

She’s taking the same tack as Serkier did during Currygate. She knows she’s in the clear so can offer to resign all she likes, while making the Tories look bad. It’s a good move.

They’ve missed the Bravo logo off, the clowns.

I never saw anything about him at all, tbh. He was largely hopeless in his time with us.

Pigott - I don’t think I’ve even seen anyone with such a knack for being in the right place at the wrong time. Poor sod didn’t have the ball drop for him once all evening, I don’t think he touched the ball more than a dozen times all night. A very odd game overall. Our first goal was a fluke, the se...

Ally Pally is awful. The floor is flat, the stage is low so you can’t see s**t if you’re average height, unless you get right to the front 90 minutes before the band come on. And the sound is abysmal. There’s no baffling at all, so if you turn your head 90° to the stage you can hear the sound once a...
