48 goals in League 2 today if I have done the maths correctly! It's crazy how many more goals there are in the league this year. Last season, Orient finished top with 61 goals and no one scored more than 72. We are currently scoring 2 per game, on track for 92, and there are 4 teams who have scored more than us. No-one really battered anyone last year but it’s wide open this season. Only 18 goals in League One today in comparison! League 1 defenders & forwards seem very similar, its dominated by midfield & they are on the whole average. Organisation seems to be the key, we had 4 formations today & Fleetwood the same. Much less enjoyable but also less frustrating. It's a strange league.

Just seen the highlights. Olafoe goal was a good one. Did anyone know Sarcevic is "affectionately known as the Manchester Messi" according to the commentary.

Just watching a film on Freeview. In the ad break up popped an ad for "Welcome to Wrexham".And one of the Rs saying something along the lines of -Wrexham is the greatest gift he had been given -urghh. Is there no escape?! I just don't get this whole Wrexham thing. Absolute load of codswallop. Had to smile reading the comments on both ours and Wrexham match reports on BBC website.Quite a few "deferred" comments on the 5-0 last week, given that last week there was no opportunity to do so. Come on, own up, who are you?!

Never heard it in my life! Same here. In a similar vein, watching Oldham on TNT Sport recently the commentator was still pushing the line that we spent every waking minute singing "Reid's Electric."

Just heard on the news that two Wednesday fans have been nicked for taunting Sunderland fans about the death of a child with cancer, I'm even getting angry typing this WTF is wrong with people.

There's a mindset of 'banter above everything' for some football fans. It's very odd behaviour and them two lads are probably going to be regretting that very quickly once they lose their jobs.

Yes you are correct. Would be nice to see the darlings lose again though. Match report for them already up and open for comments on BBC website, surprise, surprise. Tbh when they’re playing Crewe I’ll take whatever is best for County Its like saying which universal monster you disliked the most. Dracula or frankensteins monster.

Wonder how much longer Mark Hughes has got at Bradford ? About 6 months past his sell by date already. Think we all know if he had been an onknown name from their backroom staff he,d have been replaced ages ago.

That does not surprise me for a second with that lot. If i lived in sheffield and could only travel locally i,d be a blade. Find em a different animal even if most live in the same city.

I get that but I just thought some things were crossing a line. I,d actually forgotton about that little kid who came from a small villiage i know very well, blackhall. Was there only last week. Seemed a lovely kid who had a smile on his face. A good punishment would be letting these two shits spout their vile either in the sunderland end or a pub or club in blackhall itself. Surely after all these years it was not off the cuff banter and more pre arranged for me.

There's no humour or wit to it, it's literally just 'here's a photo of a dead kid who supported your team'. Brain dead 'banter' that'll cost them both their living.
