The country’s second oldest football fanzine is here, spreading its wings and enjoying a respite from the other place. Still the only progressive voice for #LOFC. Est. 1986.
Love seeing Founding Editor Dave Knight quoted in the Club’s new museum. Especially when telling such an important story 😎 #LOFC
Koroma and Sotiriou going to Chesterfield on the same day can mean only one thing... Danny Webb is getting the old gang back together for one more heist
Another London Club looking for new owners after discovering that stadium development in the post 0% interest rate era is actually really, really difficult
Courtesy of Ear photographer Dave Winter, here’s some latter day #LOFC icons bringing better vibes to Northern Ireland this week.
Courtesy of @lancetabraham.bsky.social - the future has arrived at #LOFC already 🤖🏈
Dan Happe having a medical at Aberdeen today, meaning it's unlikely he will become the first ever #LOFC player to achieve three promotions with the Club
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?
The Olympic Stadium about to become the biggest stadium the Championship has EVER seen
#XOwatch Dan Agyei makes his international debut, getting 68 minutes in a friendly in Mexico. A creditable performance in a 2-0 defeat keeps him in contention for the Black Stars World Cup squad, due to be announced on June 1st
Another generation of attention-seeking bantertwats shown up for life. Marvellous.
Absolutely fascinated by this photo of the moment Galbraith sent us to Wembley. What has taken Omar's attention?
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
Don’t believe the hype. There was actually good vibes at Star Man last night. Here’s some of the people responsible.
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 ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Jordan Gibson of Kneeslide seen here after copping a copy from @dreamhouseldn.bsky.social on Record Store Day (Kneeslide are an “indie sleaze” band, all five of whom are #LOFC)
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

Today was a good day. An Orient away day from the old school. Not a single dickhead in sight. Glorious. #LOFC
