To be fair, Gilso has a proven track record of not knowing when he’s talking about Orient whilst sitting next to a criminal.

Danny, how often do you Google your own name?

KMT

Huh. A whole six hours and no “is this really necessary, who cares?” comments. Did all the f**Keira leave the MB or something?

KMT

He's a bit of a donkey, if memory serves, but we needed a big lump and we've got one. I can't imagine he'll start every game. I hope we're going to be a little easier on the eye than that. We weren’t very easy on the eye last year when DJ was too poor on the ball to hold it up and too short to win ...

League-standard in terms of ability, but too injury-prone and with just about the worst attitude I’ve ever seen on the pitch. He’ll flatter to deceive and ultimately fail. Like always.

We don’t. I do.

Oli Hawkins gone to Mansfield - we missed out. Him and DJ up front was Jackett’s first-choice pairing before the summer started. Getting a bit worried about the standard of forward we’re going to end up with. Looking at Joe Piggott now, but can’t see him signing. Hopefully Vigouroux will stay and we...

Absolute pish. Scotchlandshire probably edged it. Ingerlund pedestrian and passive.

All in all very much like watching an Orient game last season. Slow, lacking in quality and booooooriiiinggg.

Elvis Bwonomo of Sarfend has not yet signed his deal. Big, strong, very fast, super fit, good attacking overlapping right-back, early 20s. Kept Brophy out of the game at Roots Hall last season. He’s still very unrefined for a player that’s made as many appearances as he had, but there’s undoubted a...

There are a few ropey teams, but the overall standard of the sides is far higher than in a World Cup. Think there are 6 better sides than England (Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal and possibly the Netherlands). We’re absolutely better off coming 2nd for the round of 16, but it’s a murderers r...

How do you know he's no longer one of our top two centre backs?

Because Beckles and Thompson are both better than him.

Believe he has signed, unfortunately. Would rather have had the compensation. Maybe we’ll be playing three at the back?

As I told y’all a couple of days ago...

Yesterday’s heroes are now a relatively poor team. They’re not even remotely a poor side. They didn’t play very well going forward today, but I fully expect them to win both of their other games. Impressed with the second half. Much better tempo and much more movement amongst the three behind Kane....

Already have enough defensive central midfielders, and I wouldn’t particularly want to see him at right back if we want promotion. If we’re getting an ex-loanee who has just been released by his club then give me Akinola.

A win is a win against a relatively poor team, our tactics leave an awful lot or be desired The last World Cup finalists are a relatively poor team ?

Sterling's lack of a left foot is proving troublesome So is Foden’s lack of a right foot. Keeps the pitch bafflingly narrow against a low block. Like watching Orient so far. Relying on Mount or Foden/Wilko or Kemp doing something clever individually rather than any established pattern of play. Kane...

I didn't realise he was already 26, I thought he was younger. Really not fussed about this , I think Kemp is better suited to playing as RW and Wilkinson's lack of flexibility position wise meant he was only ever able to play that specific role. Has a lot of talent but didn't put in the graft with ...

Roger’s Hair Fashions/Kum Vision etc. etc.

I’ve heard this as well. Delighted if true - much better left back than either Brophy or Widdowson. Best player on the pitch in our home game against Bradford last season.

All our days are numbered. We’re just sacks of perishable meat held together by a few bits of calcium.

Nobody is getting screwed over by anybody. The Kikk organisation did a deal with Bechetti to play under the Orient name and avail themselves of some club resources, this was allowed to continue until now. The organisation, indeed the whole women's club was run by Kikk. LOFC were not happy with the ...
