Orient on Thursday

[Bizzy Bee]

As they are reading this, I hate their 1.49p chicken and chips shops that continue until you get a 99p deal at about the fourth shop down, I hate their 1.29p a pint shitholes, the only good thing about treading their streets is that you can give a life lesson to your son and show him how lucky he is not to have to spend too much time around the place. I know there must be decent parts somewhere nearby but I live in a palace in a green and nice looking area and visiting Brentford and Isleworth is nowhere near as shit as that dump and area, I always check my jabs before Luton and Orient, thank feck Sky have saved me this arsewipe day out.

And that my passport & visas are up to date!

Where are you going Northampton? You'll be ok in East London. It's the Northerners you have to worry about, anywhere north of Brent Cross I'd be really on my guard, especially those in dark glasses & gimp masks.

I'm still trying to find a local pub thats showing it, they dont seem interested in little old Brentford

There is no other football on, just ask them nicely to put in on ?

This.

Comparing our respective histories, there seems to be little between us. So me saying they were above their station wasn't based on that. Its because every time this fixture comes round for some unknown reason, they call us scum and show so much disdain. It just smells of them looking down on us like they are a lot bigger and better when nothing is further from the truth.

I've met fans of clubs at our level and there is always a mutual appreciation of each others team and a lot of "nice litle ground is Griffin Park" or "good awayday" and vice versa. But with Orient, they think we're scum and that we have delusions of grandeur. I just don't get it. Has there been an incident in the past that could have instigated their feelings?

[seanrs]

They used to be our fall guys back in the 80s and early 90s when we beat them consistenty hoemand away until a Christmas match back in 1991 when they had Achampong sent off very contentiously and beat us 4-2 in a kicking match. Since then they have hated us!

Was that the game when one of their players (can't remember who) came over and gave us a load of abuse at the end of the match?

Hmm racist undertones?

[hanworthbee]

Not really the place is a dump

[NorthamptonBee]

Hmm racist undertones?

[Balders Bee]

Where?

Sorry can't see any racist overtones whatsoever in NB's post

No mate. That's just it. Sheerness is probably the closest .

I'm with you on the first para but much as we might not like it I don't think the gap between the two clubs is a large as you suggest. Orient's history, ground and crowds point to a club which is at home in the lower reaches of the third tier (ie exactly where they are now) whereas ours point to a club in the mid to upper level of the same division (ie exactly where we are now). We may be more upwardly mobile at present but only have about 1,000 more regular supporters than
them and whilst we have the grander history that was way back in the 30's. Don't forget Orient have spent much longer than us in the second tier over the last 40 years. - and much less time in the 4th.

Reading their site should actually remind us all of our similarities. It's a mirror image of the GPG.

Nah. Can't agree. If you're going to judge on history, you may have a point. But if that's the case then we're bigger than QPR, Reading and Wigan Athletic to name but a few.

I can only look at it from the present and the future and they are tinpot. They play in a matchbox devoid of any atmosphere. Any crowd over 3000 makes headlines in the local paper and as for all this talk about their time in the 2nd tier - well now really. Ask yourself this - in 10 years time, which is the more likely - Orient in the 2nd tier of Orient in the Conference? And, Brentford in the 2nd tier or Brentford in the Conference?

Their fan base, with the exception of three blokes that look like a Chas & Dave tribute act and Andrew Lloyd Webber, consists mainly of 12-14 year olds which I suppose bodes well for the future. But that's all they've got going for them as far as I can see and if they happen to get a lucky win in their cup final tomorrow, at least we will be comforted by knowing that as always, we will finish above them and will always be a much finer club .

Can we call him a ****er instead?

I think we should show a bit of class. Sing "There's Only One Martin Rowlands" throughout the game, offer handshakes everytime he comes near the touchline. Applaud his every touch of the ball etc. Really confuse the c*** .

I really do like the sound of that. Mind you there are some apologists on here who'd really mean it.

I enjoyed reading that, have you ever noticed the ridiculous amount of fruit and veg stalls? Say what you want about Leyton but you wont find 1 single case of scurvy that is for sure!

[Brentford 4 Life]

"Brentford 4 Life sounds like a jail term."

Ok we'll give them that .

No we wont!

[absenteebee]

Didn't they have a hit with 'Teenage Spics'?

[fallacy]

Any decent boozers near the stadium?

[Salford Bee]

Hello KEN

[wanderer paul]

[NorthamptonBee]

Well, I made it onto their board, one of their well informed lot reckons that Matthew Benham is dancing with us for future personal gain ala Barry "Money Money Money" Hearn.
