Tonight I sauntered on down to Weymouth FC. They were playing Grays, pretty much the second nearest ‘proper’ football team to where I reside when in Essex. Weymouth [Weymuff] needed the win as they are staring relegation in the face and Grays could have done with a win to help their slim play-off chances.

Grays used route one far too often and were much better playing it to feet. Weymuff were poor defensively but were ‘enthusiastic’.

It ended up 1-1 and I think my one line above summed it up. Pretty forgettable stuff but I do love my footy. I was one of the, count them [I did at half time], seventeen away fans but after ten minutes I was shouting and swearing with the rest of them. At the final whistle I was very happy indeed that I didn’t have to do the three hour car journey back like they did.

Will probably be going to next Tuesday’s home match again Droylsden. I fancy the home end this time. W-E-Y-M-U-F-F

Apologies for the lack of an update recently, there has been much upheaval in the life of this OrientFan (TM. pat. pend.).

Orient have fallen off the rails, I’m now living in a very tranquil part of the country and have a new job, which I very much enjoy.

I will post a proper update soon, I just haven’t been bothered recently. I wonder if I’ve hit the part where I wonder who is actually reading this?

Thanks for the email from SuperDave NOT mentioning that we are no longer top of the league, I say we are no longer top of the league.

One word of advice, do not listen to Zero 7 when doing 90 down the A31. There is something bloody wierd about their music which makes my brain turn off. Not good when driving and suddenly realising that you have no recollection of the past 10 miles.

Episode 3 of S2 of Dexter should be available on Torrent sites soon my friends, Is this the nearest equivalent to televisual sex? [apart from those German films I’ve…. errrr….. heard about in the pub]. Apropos nothing, I had to explain to a friend’s wife back last weekend what Bukkake was. Don’t Google it at work! Gonzo MILF v Bukkake, sounds like a 1960’s Japanese monster flick

I spent an enjoyable afternoon with Super Dave in the pub. We lost but seem to be in the same situation as before so that’s good.

Leeds won, again, but due to their lenient sentence [it should have been 50 points] are still only one point off the bottom.

Dave… we are top of the league, I say we are top of the league.

OrientFan decided to go out for the day and returns to the fantastic news that we beat Crewe away to go clear at the top.

I will wake up at some point.

We are top of the league after today’s game.

I am now hooked up to an oxygen tank, here’s hoping I’ll be needing it a lot more!

COME ON YOU O’S.

Woohoo, we beat the Shrimpers 2-1, with a tour-de-force from Sean Thornton.

Abso-bloody-lutely fantastic.

After what seems like an eternity, a new football season is nearly upon us.

I’m not sticking my neck out but I’ll be happy with seven points from our first five games. For some strange reason I also want Spurs to win the Premiership [going on the “managers I’d most like to have a beer with” basis]. I suppose on that technical yardstick I’d be down the pub with Ian Holloway every night.
