All aboard the (Leyton) Orient Express...

Tonight, Leyton Orient steam "oop north" from the nation's capital to face the mighty Leeds United at Elland Road.
















Gone are the days of getting excited about Arsenal and Scum United coming to town. They have been replaced by the reality of the likes of the O's and the MK Dons having their cup final whilst playing against Leeds.

Some of them will get their glory, much like Millwall at their's on Saturday gone. But many more will fall at the hands of a team that doesn't belong where it is.


But that's the mentality ain't it? We're Leeds United and we belong in the Premiership. Earlier this year we had the chance to take a step back towards where we "should" be, but the team decided not to bother playing well against Donny in another Playoff Final, much like the same as two years before when Watford took the spoils at the Millennium Stadium.


The fact of the matter is that at the moment, we're a League 1 team and until May, that is not going to change. So we can dream about playing Chelsea and Liverpool as much as we want, but unless we draw them in the cup, the only teams we need to worry about are Stockport County and Yeovil Town.


But on the upside...at least we'll get to play Spurs and the Toon Army next year...
