Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- A not so happy day beside the seaside for Orient.

Hands up, who thought we would go to Southend, win comfortably and potentially relegate the Shrimpers to the National League last Saturday?

Football Nerd: Three Days in April: The Advent and Collapse of the European Super League, for now at least…

I really did not want to write another f**k*n’ piece on the seemingly inevitable advent of a European Super League.

The fact that coming […]

Hands up who feels disappointed after Easter Monday’s draw with lowly Walsall? As frustrating as our level of performance was after a recent run of four wins in a row capped off by a lively and energetic display at Mansfield just three days previously, might the disappointment that we are feeling at the boys not […]

Orient Nerd Weekly Ramblings- Three wins in a row and the Good Ship Orient seems to be back on course.

Three wins in a row, nine points in eight days and up to ninth in the table just four points off play-off qualification, albeit having played a game more than Newport and Exeter who sit above us. What a turnaround it has been for interim manager Jobi McAnuff and the Orient squad. While we can’t […]
