Re: Orient Palace 1982 - FA Cup 5th Rnd

From memory, I seem to recall we were winning 1-0 in one of our 1-5 home defeats. Indeed one of our worse seasons and not many supporters of any club, let alone the O's, can say they have seen their team lose 1-5 at home in the space of six weeks or so

Well although I have never seen anyone actually wearing one I think they were brought in afterwards by the Womans Institute or similar to remember all victims of war and as a peace emblem.

Re: 1st 2nd or 3rd

Having led the field for so long and seen so many let-downs over the years, I will be disappointed if we do not finish as league champions. Also, always aim for top position, so that if we fall short, second and third places are there as a very welcome consolation. However, if we aim for a top three...
