No goal-scoring ability: Leyton Orient 0-1 Shrewsbury

No goal-scoring ability: Leyton Orient 0-1 Shrewsbury

It was a pretty poor performance with virtually nobody wanting to take a shot at goal from anywhere. Plenty of passing around midfield, and plenty of running around in circles, but the Shrewsbury keeper only had to make two saves despite numerous chances in and around the area. The result is a little unfair as …

Fantasy football – two week update

Fantasy football – two week update

After two weeks and only 2 matches (for most Premiership teams) I’m only in the middle of our super league with 70 points. This isn’t too bad as the first place only has 85 at the moment. So far I can’t believe how unlucky I’ve already been with injuries with Wayne Bridge, Freddie Ljungberg, James …

It woz the referee wot won it: Leyton Orient 1-3 Luton

It woz the referee wot won it: Leyton Orient 1-3 Luton

Orient played particularly well for three quarters of the match last night but some seriously dodgy decisions knocked any real chance we had of even drawing against a side two leagues higher on the head. Luton missed a couple of chances early on, although not before Leyton had a goal disallowed for (I guess) offside, …

Tottenham admit interest in Kuyt

Tottenham admit interest in Kuyt

Spurs seem to have quite a bit of money to spend this season, with apparently interested in Dirk Kuyt for in the region of £12m and possibly Jermaine Jenas for £13m. I can’t believe that Sir Alan Sugar was paid enough for The Apprentice that he can afford to compete with Roman Abramovich in the …

Leyton Orient top of Division Two

Leyton Orient top of Division Two

Since Orient are the only side in Division Two to have won both of the first two games of the season we’re now top. Two games into the new season is certainly too early to tell anything, since football is ‘a funny old game’, but it’s a good start. Enjoy it while it lasts! BBC …

Leyton Orient 2 -1 Macclesfield Town

Leyton Orient 2 -1 Macclesfield Town

The first match of the season, and the first match to watch from the new West Stand. The building is pretty much complete, give or take some ‘finishing touches’, and the new central block of padded seats are a great place to watch the game from. Leyton started well, scoring in the second minute, and …

BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Tottenham Hotspur

Martin Jol certainly seems to be doing the business at Spurs. I don’t know what it is, but he seems very well suited to the club and really keen to make some progress. It’s obviously working as well with one of their best unbeaten stretches for some time. Spurs news on the BBC Spurs official …
