With the news that Oli Dovin is unavailable again after making his debut this week, we counted up all the keepers signed by #LOFC since Vigs left... 11 Enough for a full side with ten playing outfield. Maybe they'd have had better luck that way.

While preparing for Saturday's exhibition, our researchers have uncovered something at the British Museum that challenges all our assumptions about when #LOFC issues with set pieces began...

The first Managerial casualty in League One happened this morning, as Michael Duff got his marching orders. We were sent this analysis shortly before that news broke, and it seems pretty plausible - methodological note to follow 🧵

DOING THE BUSINESS Since David Gandler took control of #LOFC there have been three transfer windows, and in that time the Os have signed 38 players - significantly more than any other Club that has been in League One over the same period. More analysis coming soon on our site.

Congratulations to Theo & Cleo, who helped to raise over £8,500 at this year's Epsom Mascot Derby! In spite of their rigorous training regimen, they didn't place quite as well as last summer, due to a much faster field overall. Suggestions that "Johnny Pot a Lot" was doping remain unproven #LOFC

Jack Wilshere on the box for the European Cup Final because he used to play for a team that was in it. Surely then Wellens deserves a go if United ever get back into it?

Need to set the record straight on this. When that Editorial was written, #LOFC had 50 points. Exeter ended the season on 49. Far from Jonah-ing, this was actually incredibly prescient, given how the team collapsed through exhaustion after doing the bare minimum to survive

Bluesky exclusive: tonight was the first time that Chris Tate and Richie Wellens came face to face since the 2001 play off final. A quarter of a century later: “you’ve changed haven’t you?” “ well so have you”

Since the 1940s, only Arsenal, Man City, Spurs, Sunderland and West Ham have moved into stadiums larger than the one our new owner wants to build. Here’s why that may not be such a good idea… open.substack.com/pub/theleyto... #LOFC

Happy St George’s Day to all who celebrate. Time to pop Elgar on the gramophone, brew a pot of tea, open your copy of “Keep The Aspidistra Flying” and remember who invented this bloody game in the first place. Up the Os ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Don’t forget - if you’ve not already got our new edition, you can get one today from The Cunningham Gates, outside the West Stand, inside the Supporters Club, Dreamhouse Records or online from www.leytonorientear.com And it’s really rather good, if we say so ourselves…

Very best wishes to Julian Lloyd Webber who is currently having treatment for prostate cancer. If his autobiography is anything to go by, he’ll shrug this challenge off with a minimum of fuss. Here’s one of our favourite bits in it so far - about how he wooed his second wife… #LOFC

Some residents of E10 and E11 have been receiving hate mail through the post. Well, maybe “hate mail” is a bit strong, but it’s certainly false advertising: a season ticket waiting list? For Premier League football? Bet there’s no refunds if they get relegated…
