Maybe we should just admit, however unpalatable it might feel, that Evans is a half way decent manager?

Yes, he is a decent manager and that's why some on here resort to calling him "fatty Evans".

True, he changed it and in the process at City, he's won everything.
At the same time he's bored most of us sh--less with the brand of football.

'Cos it is.

..But it's still worth pointing out that at 38 years of age, he has let himself go terribly.

Did very well at Plymouth; DC United was a bit of a bucket case and he never achieved anything there. Birmingham was a bad move and he should have had the sense to see that. Plymouth will be a tough gig - they were sinking like a stone the second half of last season. So what makes him do it? He doe...

Orient on Agyei being targetted by a Reading fan last season just a month before they signed Simpson… “There is no room for racism in football or society and Leyton Orient has a zero tolerance policy towards all forms of discrimination.” Laughable But in this case there is always room for forgivene...

Not just any final, a Champions League Final.

..But he didn't get them over the line.

Not comfortable with this. Would have preferred his "second chance" to be at another club. Northern hard men CBs are ten a penny at this level. Also, Happe will stay because there just isn't enough in him for another club to take him. Personally I think we want a better than a ten a penny...

Not funny, not necessary.

I'm surprised at that Comeon...I couldn't be more opposite. I find the watch boring and predictable and with the outcome of the match also predictable. Time for a change.

Me too, I love 'em.

No surprise for me. Odds of around 12-14/1 sounds about right. Let's hope that Wellens can prove them wrong.come the end of the season.

Blimey, Comeon' !.....What about a train ?

Jack Nolan of Accrington, I've just read, is being mentioned Where? Could certainly do a lot worse....good record last season and about the right age we are looking for now. It just came up on my Google feed. The article was talking about how well we did with the signing of Galbraith and that we co...

Tea is very expensive as well.

I suppose you'll get some gullible people taken in with that excuse.

A silly idea at trying to get noticed.

Seems to be happening more often. If we're to keep progressing, then the next set of challenges for the Club are an order or magnitude greater than what's happened over the last 7 seasons, because they require the significant expansion of our fanbase, and a whole new infrastructure. That's going to...

Could be, but then who really knows.

You make it sound like he's been dragging a ball and chain along breaking rocks in a quarry for his crimes. But I suppose the fact that he was a Brexiteer wouldn't endear himself to most on this board, anyway.

I thought that also when I read this. I had never heard of any connection with the east stand we got from Mitchum and greyhound racing before.

Is this where the confusion arses?? Clapton Stadium The Clapton Stadium, also known as Millfields Road, was a football ground and greyhound racing stadium in the Lower Clapton area of London No, the East Stand came directly from Mitcham Greyhound stadium in 1956. The reason that the gable is not ri...

FAO Idris, if you’re reading this: Watching the announcement of your return last summer was very possibly the best moment of my 40+ years supporting Orient. If you were to come back permanently, it would surpass that. Do it, Idris. Do it. Once you get something in your head about liking a player or...
