This season

[Constanza]

I'm loving it. Old school Orient.
Fully expect a 2-0 defeat today to add to the misery.
We've been far too successful recently for my liking.

Orient used to be fun and silly. Now, people act like it's life and death. It's important to a degree, but it's so far from life and death people need to give their heads a wobble.

Professional sport isn't fun and silly, I think you've nailed the split in the fanbase though and also what RW touched on the other week about needing to change attitudes within the club and squashing the whole "little Leyton Orient" talk.

Personally it's all about winning, the whole community club thing doesn't matter to me one jot. Successful club over family club any day. This season however the club approach has annoyed the "family club" group and not delivered for the "win at all costs" group so no-one is happy.

The Orient we know and love is back with the added bonus that the club have built a squad incapable of creating real goalscoring opportunities on a regular basis.

The end result is not only are we quite boring to watch, but we all know (including the Richie and the players) that once we concede then a defeat is inevitable.

Grown men bawling and screaming, like infants separated from their dummies, every time the football club they favour doesn't win, isn't really professional though, is it ?

It's utterly tragic and a pitiful reflection on themselves. (and it certainly isn't supporting the football club)

(I'm not saying you do this, by the way - but some do)
