I love the ORIENT

[millbeach]

Only one thing i love more than LEYTON ORIENT.
Is my Jeanneau Fantasia.

There i have said it..

Roll on replay at Arsenal

If only your league position matched your cup prowess!

 

[millbeach]

Small club with a big heart.
No "Glory hunters" down at the Os.

Last time we played Arsenal was 1977 fa cup semi final.
Malcom Macdonald scored all 3 goals that day and we lost 3-0.

I was there at Stamford Bridge, a tender age of 14.
Will be at Emerates at the old age of 47..

Don't you mean Highbury!!!!!

Don't you mean Highbury!!!!!

I believe he does mean Stamford Bridge and I think it was actually the semi final of the 1978 FA Cup which was played at a neutral ground (and not Wembley in those days).
If he had been at Highbury, he would have seen Ipswich defeating West Brom 3-1 before going on to beat the Gunners at Wembley in the final 1-0 (Roger Osborne goal). Maybe you are not old enough to remember.....

I am old enough to remember and was a season ticket holder at London Road by then..... but sadly, carrying that burden, don't have so many exciting memories to carry into old age!...

I've found a great way to wind up my office colleagues, just drop in a name of a local team, such as;
Leyton Hotspurs
Tottenham Hammers
West Ham Orient.
They just have to bite.

I know this isn't in keeping with the romance of the cup but...

Come on Arsenal!

 

[Doineann]

Like a lot of Arsenal fans I have a soft spot for the O's.

But I think I found out why so many of the Arsenal team, and in particular Bendtner, didn't seem to have their mind on the game. Barry Hearn and his cunning plans:-

As a Norwich City supporter, I don't love the Orient.




Oh all right then.........good luck I suppose.

Like a lot of Arsenal fans I have a soft spot for the O's.

I agree - and notwithstanding fixture congestion I think they deserve their night out at the emirates.

I hope by then we'll have won one cup!

 

[millbeach]
