So glad they got dumped out. The way it happened was even sweeter.

Oh dear how sad never mind

Just pray they can now finish the job off in Paris......

At very least it gives us a team to cheer in the final.

So glad we don't support a team who blow it in the big games

Most spectacular bottle job ever from one of the most overrated managers ever

Losing a 2 goal lead in 45 minutes is one thing but blowing it in stoppage time would really make you sick.

Wonder how they'll react, will it be wounded animal strikes out and demolishes the next Prem game or will the belief drain away and give the title to Liverpool?

Scunthorpe vs Orient

1-2 on 89 minutes, as I recall.

3-2 at FT.

2 Oct 2021 Port Vale v Leyton Orient

86 mins Orient go 2-1 up
91 mins Vale equalise
93 mins Val get the winner

Pep has only spent around £1bn at City so far, so I think he's done brilliantly to get his small squad this far

Similar to how brilliant Orient have done spending money over the years and ended up in the National League and now are struggling in league 2

I should of course mention that City have been hampered by sticking rigidly to UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules. Like Chelsea, they only spend what they earn. It's why Chelsea aren't have any problems despite no longer having the Ruski's billions pumped in every season

It’s not really similar, is it though?

No it isn’t. Which is why its bizarre how obsessed Orient fans are with Premier League clubs. It’s small time as f***.

I would question the term “struggling”…

Hardly an obsession. Couldn't give a monkeys about any of them, yet can't help having a chuckle when it goes pear-shaped for the real big spenders.

Never seen 22 actors on three acres of grass before.

A day doesn’t go by without someone on here mentioning United, Liverpool, City, West Ham or Spurs.

Again. Orient nearly ceased existing because of bad spending. Have a word with yourself.

I think your missing the part about BIG spenders

Bigsy, our owner was a criminal/lunatic, thats why Orient nearly ceased to exist.

But you were happy for him to be outspending the divisions if it meant promotion

Amen to that! (the first part of the sentence, that is!)

Pep is a flat track bully. Glad they got knocked out. Grealish is a fraud too £100m and only a sub

A bit unfair on Grealish. True, he hasn't had the impact at City that many thought. That's because of the abundance of quality around him. Some players, and managers too, are suited to being a one club man. He was the 'king' at Villa and that's where he should have stayed.

Not unlike Mahrez. He was sensational for Leicester. It’s taken him years to finally get himself some regular games.
