I hope the Charlton team bus gets a flat tire and their supporters coach toilet overflows #LOFC

It's that time again! A huge day tomorrow. Not just a 6 pointer. Not just the opening day of an historic exhibition along Leyton High Road. But the launch of a brand spanking new edition of the Ear, and just like #LOFC we're getting better as the season progresses... 🧵

As @leytonorientear.com reminds me, it was almost a year ago that Leyton Orient's board revealed they were searching for a new investor(s) for potentially a majority stake #LOFC leytonlaureate.wordpress.com/2024/02/13/i...

The magic of League One is alive in E10 tonight #LOFC

Now for some England v Uganda netball

Manchester City showed us that Foden and De Bruyne are what miracle endings are made of. But what a day for Leyton Orient! #LOFC #FACup

115 things you need to know about #MCFC. But which one is your favourite?

I'm thinking Erling Haaland is a bit like Joe Pigott, but probably better #LOFC

So you're saying there's a chance... #LOFC

I am tickled pink at the thought of Manchester City's £52882866218 trillion squad crammed into this visitors dressing room at Brisbane Road on Saturday #LOFC

Manchester City went winless in the Vertu Trophy and didn't make it out of their group. Leyton Orient have got this #LOFC

I fear Man City will park the bus against us like Stockport, and we will struggle to find that incisive pass #LOFC

Saving it for Man City and Europa League qualification #LOFC

WORD OF THE DAY: Sfairesphobia (n.) -- The fear of balls and spherical objects. example: Exeter City have played this half like they woke up with sfairesphobia. #LOFC

Exeter fans paid good money to watch this. Have some compassion. #LOFC

Any Abu Dhabi oil sheikhs shut out of Leyton Orient tickets, drop me a DM. Let's make a deal.

Leyton Orient keep climbing up the table, from 21st at the start of December to now 7th after today's 2-0 win over Reading. New signings Markanday & Abdulai looked great and another clean sheet for Keeley and the defence. Keep up this form, and I'm guessing we'll be safe from relegation #LOFC

Just watched highlights of PSG v Man City, and well, Leyton Orient just have to follow the same exact blueprint, and it's into the 5th round of the FA Cup, easy peasy #LOFC #lemonsqueezy

I am also entrepreneurial. Anybody sad that they've only got a digital ticket for the Man City match, I am offering to print these souvenir commemorative Leyton Orient tickets for £10 each #LOFC

Donley, James, Brown, Cooper, Kelman, Obiero -- exactly the penalty lineup I predicted coming into the match #LOFC

Our youngest first team player, with the match on the line.... #LOFC #ZechObiero #GoOnZech

Anybody got any spare hamstrings? Asking for a bunch of friends #LOFC

Richie Wellens giving the best motivational speech of his life as we head to extra time #LOFC

Great to be at Brisbane Road for Leyton Orient and Derby's FA Cup play-in game to face Manchester City #LOFC

Apparently e-tickets from Saturday have expired and you will need to redownload them from your original email before tomorrow night. Spreading the word as the club are still only posting on the Fash Bird App #lofc

Leyton Orient have so far banked £192,000 in prize money from Cup competitions ⚽️Carabao: £12,000 ⚽️FA: £145,000 ⚽️Vertu: £35,000 There's £90k more if they beat Derby, £20k if they beat Stevenage. This doesn't include any split of ticket revenues, which might have added £30k or so, by my calcs #LOFC

No point to Orient signing Kyle Walker now, if he's going to be Cup tied for Man City #LOFC

More analysis on this coming soon! #LOFC

Leyton Orient's financial accounting for 2023/24 season has been published on Companies House #LOFC ⚽️Turnover up by £1.8 mil ⚽️Operating loss £3.7 mil, down £300,000 than previous season (had aimed to narrow the loss by ~£1 mil) ⚽️£400,000 made from player trading

FT Leyton Orient 1-0 Shrewsbury What tired legs? An O's team intent on playing fast tempo in the bone shivering cold ran Salop ragged in the second half, continuing their excellent run of form. FA Cup third round match against Derby up next on Saturday! #LOFC

Richie Wellens says not to expect any signings until the 7th or 8th. In the meantime, here's my interview from last year this time with Leyton Orient head scout Steve Foster & recruitment analyst Mike Still on how the O's manage the transfer process #LOFC leytonlaureate.wordpress.com/2024/01/10/s...

Ada Martin is going to be Man of the Post-match with the state of those kits #LOFC

Here's my piece that ran in the Orientear, on how Leyton Orient's diet was revamped and a new menu put in place, to positive results so far: 10 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss #LOFC leytonlaureate.wordpress.com/2024/12/31/kitchen-confidential-leyton-orient-head-chef-nick-green-on-how-to-feed-a-football-squad/

A few snaps pitchside, from the players dressing room and the media gantry pre-match, as my son got to be a mascot for Leyton Orient's match against Cambridge United. A great experience, made sweeter by the O's winning 2-0! #LOFC

✅️ #LOFC

With a win today, Leyton Orient will be 24 wins away from finishing the the League One season on a 27 game winning streak, and you'd have to like our chances at promotion with that #LOFC #punditry

We’re on sale again in all the usual (and some unusual) places before during and after the match today. Not sure there’ll be many left by our next home game, so grab one if you can! (Or from www.leytonorientear.com) #LOFC

The RainbOs had all sorts of discussions about player of the match from yesterday. Agyei, Donley, Curry, Galbraith were all in the running. In the end we couldn't split any of them. In the spirit of Christmas and to salute a fine performance, we gave it to the whole team!

Nice to get a Boxing Day win! Everything coming up aces for Leyton Orient lately. 6th clean sheet in a row and third match in that span with 3+ goals. O's looking like a well-oiled machine #LOFC

Sean Clare, his Christmas wish to you, exclusively in the new Ear: out today #LOFC

I don't want to overstate the importance of today's match, but if Leyton Orient win, they could end the day in the top half of the table, which rounds up to 1st place #LOFC

Correlation isn't always causation but #LOFC results are much improved since hiring chef Nick Green. I look at the O's nutrition overhaul in @leytonorientear.com, available at BR on Wed. As extra, here are his Xmas turkey tips theleytonorientear.substack.com/p/the-orient-diet-and-tips-for-christmas
