Orient Promoted

[Hawkwell Blue]

Following Borient's 3-0 demise last night history suggests they will win promotion. If memory serves me last season a newly promoted League One side took on and lost at the same stage of the Carling Cup to a newly relegated Premiership side 3-0. The game was shown live on Sky, the score line was slightly flattering and the winners wore stripes. Then I think the League One side won the Championship.

Cue Doris Stokes........or whatever his name is.

The difference being we had a talented squad and manager though.

And they lost their opening game to port vale !!!

This is kind of weird. I was thinking the same last night when they went one down but forgot by the end. Somehow me thinks winning the league might be one coincidence too far

Er, we're not going to win the division. We're gash!

I agree, Orient are shocking!

 

[Murkey_Mouse]

The only different that Orient don't have a feeder club like Grays

Yeah, but that's what everyone said to us at the beginning of last season as well. I imagine you will be growing accustomed to the extraordinary levels of patronising smugness which the northern monkeys at the likes of Oldham, Tranmere and Forest (in particular) are wont to dole out.

I derived a very considerable amount of satisfaction at the fact that none of those clubs ended up in the playoffs last season, whilst we were the only club to break the 80-point barrier...

Whilst those three are desperately patronising, I've found the Bradford fans to be the worst of the lot insofar...

Sadly (well, for me anyway) we're just not good enough at the back to finish in the top half, let alone go up. Zakuani has been a massive loss to the side.

We were gash too - it was just a very weak league

O's will be okay - maybe top 3rd, not promtion.

What a spooky coincidence!!

I just had £5 on them @ 40/1 (Bet 365). Originally backed Bristol City, but they look like they might flatter to deceive again!

This coincidence is definetly worth backing IMH.

I must say i was impressed by the youngster Brian Saah last night,.

He's only 18, and a central midfielder by trade. Dean Smith seems to think he'll be just as good as Zak, though, so it'll be interesting to see how it all pans out. In fact, Saah was the only player that didn't make a tw&t out of himself last night....

I was also impressed with Shane Tudor and your one of your other defenders last night, can't for the life of me remember his name.

Jabo Ibhere caused us all sorts of problems in the friendly match between us.

40/1 is a fair price and worth taking!

To be honest, i thought the ref last night was useless!

You got beat by a wonder goal, a superb breakaway goal and a goalkeeping error. Going out last night wasn't the end of the world for you, as i can seriously see the O's being in the shake up come what May.
