Match Thread | Leyton Orient vs. Man City (08/02/25)

They are defending with their lives. This is a very difficult situation for the team.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Any other season you'd just chalk up a wonder goal as that and trust the players on the pitch but we still vulnerable on counters and I currently don't trust these players to get themselves out of the mess they're in.

 

[super_city_si]

That was wank. Proper wank. We are dull as fuck

 

[vmsuhail]

Magic of the FA Cup !
We'll turn this around 2nd half.

 

[Blueknows]

Everyone taking 5 touches against Orient. My word we are really shit.

Struggling to break down a lg 1 defence ffs

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Pathetic

 

[blueste41]

Might as well go out today because there is nobody else left in the draw we could beat!

 

[Lowtower]

Enjoyed that half, like the good old days.

 

[CambridgeExileBlue]

They looked fucked already. We will bury them second half. It’s made for phil.

They look fitter, sharper and more up for it than us by a long way.

 

[madloaf]

It's not took long for pep to coach Marmoush's excitement out of him.

 

[paulchapo]

Tempting fate but is it extra time or a replay?

My youngun would love the latter!

Extra time and penalties, though on that first half showing we'll be lucky to get that far!

 

[Bluemoon115]

Our big push at the end of the half ends with 90 seconds of possession for Orient.

We are so fucking shit, I'm done pretending we're not.

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

I know this is a bit un-PC to say but their fans look genuinely retarded

 

[I'm Blue]

Well that was wank.
Created enough to be winning but defensively appalling.

 

[bondsman]

Should we throw mbamba on at least he will put himself about

 

[Keeper!]

Utter shit, slow, boring, weak and predictable.

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

We are sleepwalking our way to a cup exit here.

Does it even matter ? You think we'll get much further regardless ?

Very sad to say, but true as it stands.

 

[AustinBlue]

hard to play quick one touch football on this pitch and with the amount of physical contact allowed.

 

[Streetsweeper]

Tempting fate but is it extra time or a replay?

My youngun would love the latter!

There are no replays in the FA cup. If we equalise it’ll be extra time then pens.

 

[knuckles]

Gundog shite again, bernie on but has no speed left in him, Grealish really does like he has had no football in months, MeAtee just cannot get in the game, add to that the ref letting them kick lumps out of us its no surprise we look as bad as we do.
