Embarrassing

Apologies you had to watch us eek out a win when losing would have obviously given you more joy.

 

[Stelea]

Found out a lot about some players. Gundogan, Grealish and McAtee in particular.

Don’t think we found out anything about them 3 weeks ago didn’t already know.

 

[Blue2202]

O’Reilly and Lewis also don’t look up to it

Macatee also, genuinely didnt realise he was playing until he kicked off the 2nd half.

 

[malg]

Wow......do you think they would ever cut off an interview with GPC like that???

 

[DallasMCBlue]

Went off first half. Possibly just an impact injury to his hip area I think. Hope it's just that.

How did he look before the injury?

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Either Pep is not anymore Pep or the players are not following Pep's instructions. We play with no clear understanding to what is needed to break other teams into win. Players are happy to keep passing the ball sideways forever.

Could see why he was shaking his head at the end. The last 10 mins were abysmal from us and lucky not to concede.

Hard fought win

Pep looks proper fuming

yo'd think after 4 months he'd have got a handle on the problem. zero evidence the corner has been turned yet.

Main thing is we are in the next round but I didn't enjoy that. Physicality is a real issue and has been all season, even today was a problem. One bug bear I have with the FA Cup is why adopt this stupid rule of not having Var until the 5th round, absolute joke. As for the commentary, Keown was pathetic.

Yea VAR should be in from the get go, or not in the competition at all.

Honestly, we always looked like winning. 2-1 immensely flatters Orient, another day with another referee and that is an absolute drubbing.

Despite us really struggling with the confidence to put the ball in the net, we created a lot of chances, should have had a penalty, their goal shouldn't have stood, and they should have been playing the last 20-30 minutes with 10 men.

That's just football.

We didn't play particularly badly. We didn't play particularly well. We'll move on.

Marmoush getting flattened before McAtee poked one over was strange, penalty all day long and twice on a Sunday

Who wants tonight’s lottery numbers then?

Looks like someone is enjoying the taste of their own erection ;)
Well done. You've got to get one prediction right eventually, I suppose.
Roll one out for the Madrid game and I'll whack a fiver on it...

 

[Donmcfc]

Only one thing matters in the Cup. Don't get knocked out.

 

[East Level 2]

We are shit guys. I am sure we will improve and calling a spade a spade doesn’t make you a rag but people need to admit the truth… we are shit.

A million miles from our incredibly high standards, but not quite "shit".

 

[Blue Til Death]

Is Richie Rag Wellens wearing a syrup?

Looks like he’s got a three piece suite on his napper…

 

[bluetonium]

Didn't enjoy that match. Glad we won. Credit to Orient. But that referee was not just bad, he was inviting open season on our lads and we're now a man down for Madrid. Could have been more.

Their goal, I'd say foul, and the way he landed on him was dangerous and caused the injury.

Booking McAtee for a first foul after some of the challenges let go before that was pathetic.

Should have had a penalty when Marmoush was taken out, regardless of whether we got a shot away or not.

Then that calf raker and only a yellow shown what a joker.

Still, should expect a tough game away anywhere in the fa cup, just hoped for more of a fair one.

Could actually in a weird way be the kind of challenge we needed, get that togetherness flowing.

Marvin.:
Leyton Orient played hard and defended. Do you think football is a walk in the park?
No, I think a Premier league team, that was a champifirstast season should be able to play better against first-league team. We looked awful in the first half and clueless the majority of the time.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Rico was immense today and Keown is a ****

 

[Gobshiight]

Fuck sake, all I wanted to hear was an update on Nico and they cut off the greatest manager in the world for this rag season ticket ****

 

[Stelea]

Just cut the Pep interview off in mid flow!

 

[argyle]

fucking hell. All channels want the underdog to win that's what the cups all about giant killers.

They went too far and gave us no credit whatsoever. When we scored it was like we'd ruined their weekend. Mentioned the money at every given opportunity - do they do this to other premier league teams against lower league sides?

All I want is fairness.
