Hello, I'm a London dwelling Orient (Camden, hence the brilliantly original username) fan who isn't a twat like the other one posting this afternoon - sorry about that, every club has its fair share of mongs. I'm gonna try and give a balanced view on tomorrow.
Just a word on attendances, we know our home support is balls (being surrounded by Prem clubs), but our away support IS excellent. We don't take many to you cos frankly, the view is beyond terrible at the Withdean from the away end, but I'm sure you knew that!!! When you get to Falmer, I'll come more (I've only been twice to Withdean) but you must understand that. Great day out though! Oh and we know we've got a crap crook of a chariman who has raped the club - guess what, you'll be able to see NEW flats tomorrow behind the South Stand, oh what joy!!!!
Looking forward to tomorrow big time, love the games against you lot, I certainly see it as a derby. You'll pack out our East Stand - people like coming to Brisbane Road, poss cos its London and also cos the stand you get is the only one with any atmosphere. It used to be our main stand before Hearnia built that tower block opposite, its a top stand to watch your football from.
I'm so envious of you that you've got a manager like Poyet - good coach, great player, he will get you out of this mess. We've got a little fat Welsh bloke who ain't that good. Meh, that's the way the cookie crumbles and all that crap. What's all this about Forster leaving, he's a top striker. He's like your McGliesh - yes I know you hate Scotty (he's like a god at Orient), but you see the parallels, strikers scoring hatfuls of goals in the twighlight of their careers, talismen etc. I wasn't at the "battle of the goldstone" but I know what SMcG did, and it was silly. But he's 36 now and probably regrets it. But the banter is good I suppose.
I don't know too much about your team to be honest. I obviously recognize all the names, I've been impressed by Cox every time I've seen him and Holroyd looks a canny signing. Oh and Kuipers has always played a blinder when I've seen him. I also dont know much about your style of play since your manager is new, but I'm guessing its good passing football. We are woefully inconsistent, sometimes shit hoofball, sometimes sublime moves. Never quite know what you're gonna get.
We've had a brilliant start to 2010 (new decade and all that nonsense), we beat Yeovil easily, beat Charlton on the telly (surely even those of you who watched it admit we deserved it, we were magnificent), before coming back from 2-0 to draw against Carlisle. Then we beat someone 5-0! I havent seen that from us for years. But in fairness, Brizzle were beyond shocking so I think it was a one off.
We have a decent team at the moment actually, a quality keeper, two excellent centre backs (Mkandawire and Chorley), Demetriou is an absolute twat but he seems to score against you, our best player is our right winger Nicky Adams on loan from Leicester who is brilliant - your LB better be on his toes. Up front is Scotty and Ryan Jarvis who is pee poor but somehow is scoring goals at the moment. On the bench is fat, old and past it ex-palace Scowcroft and our new cult hero, Jon Tehoue who is a french battering ram. Love it.
I'm gonna say 2-1 Orient (Thornton and Jarvis for us, Dickinson for you), but in truth I have no clue whatsoever. Good luck for the rest of season (beyond tomorrow obviously), L1 would be a poorer place without you!
