    Don't mind Leyton Hotspurs they're all right and the genuine O's fans i know are top notch , although one on a group chat bitterly said 'congratulations see you back in league 1 in 2026' to which i gleefully responded 'now now, you might not stay up'

    I thought I’d get some Orient opinion. Obviously, they’re disappointed, but this thread is bitter as fuck. They seem to think were a bunch of cloggers, but seem to have not considered that maybe that wasn’t the best we can perform. So much hate for NJ too.
    The irony is that it’s titled “Not Sour Grapes”

    Not having that. A proud club & one of London’s oldest. 

    And you said it without any irony, despite being called Croydon!!

    Nothing against Orient at all - and have a few mates who support them as I used to play in a football team there for a few years. 

    Not going to take anything said on that thread too personally. They've just lost their biggest game in 40 odd years - can't expect them to be too happy.

    I think we should give Orient supporters some slack as I'm sure we would be licking our wounds if we'd lost.
    We had links with them years ago when they were Clapton Orient and owned by the Glikstens and Jimmy Seed was manager for a couple of years before joining us.

    Lived in Clapton for a while so like Orient.

    They will lose loan players but clubs like Spurs will see them as ideal for their next batch of youth players as they are local, Wellens is a good coach, they give the loans game time and they play attacking, passing football.

    We might even want to send M'Bick, Dixon or Enslin there 

    They will try to repeat their success this year but it will be tough.

    To be fair to Orient, it was a bit of a crap game, we didn't threaten much, they had more of the ball and hit the woodwork twice.  

    But the guys pointing out that we got the goal, looked to see the 1-0 out, and successfully got a third clean sheet in the playoffs are right.

    I'd add that the game way nervy etc and not that reflective of how we've been playing - feel like in our good run we've not sat back on a 1-0 much at all and I've been pretty impressed at how often we've gone for a second, third etc.

    Lemme think…..
    Leyton Orient or West Ham United?
    Bit like do you prefer a proper street cafe breakfast, or a synthesised MacDonalds egg and cheese Mac muffin?
    Leyton Orient are a fine club as far as I’m concerned.

    Good mate is an Os season ticket holder. They're disappointed but know they've overachieved this season. Decent bunch imo and good luck to them next season. 
    It wasn't pretty but we were defensively excellent on Sunday.

    So one or two Orient supporters are a bit cheesed off they lost and suddenly they are the devil incarnate. Come on get real.

    Imagine how devastating it must be to lose at Wembley. In fact, as we picked the trophy up and I looked across at their empty end I could only imagine how gut-wrenching it must be.

    If you live in the Orient area, imagine the pressure to support West Ham or Spurs. So fair play to anyone who sticks to supporting the Os. And by and large I've always found their fans a pretty decent lot.

    Mind you, I imagine a lot of their seat sales were to West ham fans. I personally know 2 West Ham season ticket holders who went, one in a group of 14 of whom only a handful were Os fans!

    Good luck to Orient next year as far as I'm concerned.

    How is saying Leyton Orient aren’t an irrelevant club, and perhaps he should look closer to home in Croydon for London’s most irrelevant club trolling?!?! 

    Okay… sorry… Orient, one of London’s oldest clubs, with an interesting history & loyal local support are more irrelevant than Crystal Palace, a club founded by a landlord who wanted to cash in on growing popularity of football. A club with so little genuine substance that they change colours & nickname on the whim of a manager, invent their own history & have to constantly remind everyone how south London & proud they are, despite literally playing in Surrey until 1965. A club the polar opposite to traditional working class clubs founded in England, ie founded by landlord, play in suburbia, have cheerleaders and ultras… 

    Better?!

    They actually hit the woodwork once with a deflected shot and had one shot on target compared to our mighty three 😉

    I think they'll really struggle next season. 

    Think they are quite similar to Donaster in 18/19. Play football, and move the ball well, but just lacked that something extra to get the job done. 

    I think now similar to Doncaster they'll lose their better players, manager and struggle a bit.
    I think you're probably right. You've got to be bloody good to play 'champagne' football and get promoted from League One. Clean sheets and discipline will get you promoted. See 2012, 2019, 2025.

    Bus Stop in Stratford. Good luck to them getting back into the playoffs with REG, Clare, DJ and the likes playing a full season for them, Kelman's goals dragged them from mid-table to the cusp of promotion, they won't replace that easily

    I’ve had a meeting this morning with an orient supporter, who is friends with a board member.

    his view was that we were the better team, he also said we are championship ready and they aren’t.

    they had the 13th biggest budget, finished 6th and had a 13 hr drinking session at Wembley, he was disappointed by content.

    That’s what I thought (deflected shot hitting the woodwork) but I also thought they had a good shout for handball (Gilesby stuck his elbow out) from the free kick.

    If there had been any real shout for handball VAR would have come in to play.

    Some decisions made be VAR this season have been quite bizarre.

    I was with some Orient fans who had clearly never been on a tube before on the way to the game. Busy tube and they were trying to hold loads of space and refusing to move down shouting "dont let them on" at every stop when more people tried to get on. I managed to squeeze past them and use the space.

    As we were getting off I game them the old "good luck in league 1 next year fellas" they were all "thanks... wait...what NO!"
