Yes, just to join in... 'Really sorry for Theo and I hope modern surgery will repair the damage. I was 12 when I ruptured my knee ligaments and dislocated the joint. 'Spent ages in Whipp's and had the torn cartilege removed. Eventually got to see the Marshes again but wasn't much cop by then. Now, ...

If Sid gave the farming industry a tenner every time he mentioned his ACL tear in the 60s, they'd be able to call off their current protests about inheritance tax. It was a very traumatic injury that changed my life. Of course being as you have read me mention it before, you can always just skip re...

This is not good, I did my ACL in and have still not recovered after five years, I have to gingerly climb and descend the stairs in the West Stand gingerly to avoid doing further injury. Had two ops and whilst it is better the surgeon says it may never recover fully. I do all the physio but it is o...

Terrible waxwork figures with that look nothing at all like the real people, Beatles especially.
The Harry Kane statue is also a rather poor effort.

Theo is a fighter and also my favourite Os player. So sad to hear of this setback. Knee injuries are so hard to conquer, especially torn ACL injuries. Best of luck to Theo. Leyton Orient can regrettably confirm that forward Theo Archibald has suffered a setback during his recovery from his Anterior ...

Richie got the subs just right especially bringing on Simpson as Blackpool threatened and were unlucky not to draw level. Was worried when Richie switched to five at back, thought we were going to sit back even more. That said I don't think James would have turned up in the 6 yard box to score with...

If Wellens ever plays him on the wing again he needs his head looking at

Agree and Agyei played up top rather than Kelman, a change that most of us have wanted to see but took far too long for RW to change things around.

True but they sure gave Wrexham a ''harrowing'' time !

Sonny Perkins came good at last with a goal and a good assist. Josh Keeley did well with some vital saves including saving a penalty.
Really poor second yellow card picked up by Sweeney. A third Boreham wood goal was ruled out in a tight offside decision.

Sweeney praised by Ritchie at the end of this video, this after getting himself sent off for a really unnecessary second yellow card ?

Interesting to hear what Richie has to say after this narrow win !

Good point, headline amended !

Ling, Foster and whoever else is involved in that recruitment team all well past their sell-by date. Give Wellens control and then he can sink or swim on his own merits Thing is if Wellens is doing his managers job, he cannot be off scouting for players as well and also arranging the new and existi...

What money ?

Not just the Os struggled today then, but at least we got through on penalties !!

Wellens won’t be sacked. The board need to get some decent players in during January - and not let LING get involved in the “the process “ Ling, Foster and whoever else is involved in that recruitment team all well past their sell-by date.

Penalty saved. Tom Whelan (Boreham Wood) right footed shot saved in the bottom right corner.

Extra time it is.

I see Boreham have just scored, end the game now please I had a 2-2 end result feeling before the game, hope I am not right ? I had us down for a 1-2 win so would be extra pleased with it staying like this But extra time then penalties, no replays now....not good ! Fourth official has announced 6 m...

Sonny Perkins doing well so far with a goal and an assist.

12 minutes Sonny Perkins scores via left footed shot from outside the box to the top right corner.

It’s not that we didn’t replace him as that was very difficult. It’s that we didn’t even try to replace him. We did try to replace him. It’s just that we replaced him with crap. Now, letting Sotiriou go and not attempting to replace him was far more unforgivable. Kelman has more goals than Sotiriou...

He said he thought of a working person as someone who “goes out and earns their living, usually paid in a sort of monthly cheque" and who can't "write a cheque to get out of difficulties". Anyone still use a cheque book ? The sort of comment you would expect from a man who is complet...

They shot an unarmed suspect in the head at close range. Was there really no other alternative to a street execution?

No. Glad you were not on the Jury.

I would have been fair before voting to convict the killer for a cold blooded murder.

Playing the role of devils advocate.
