Here's me back in October suggesting Orient were in "relegation freefall". Today I'm at Wembley for the Play-Off final. This proves two things: 1) The turn around this season has been phenomenal - I've never known anything like it 2) I'm an idiot #lofc

Today feels emotional before we’ve even kicked a ball. I desperately want my dad and others to experience a final win in their lifetime. I’m so thankful that he dragged me along 20 years ago 💕 #lofc

We’ve not won at Wembley since 1930. But we hadn’t won at Blackpool since 1926 until this March. It’s that kind of season. It’s that kind of team. Up the Os #LOFC

My dad's from Leytonstone. He took me to my first Orient game aged 7. He in turn was taken as a boy to Brisbane Road by his uncle. I started taking my daughters when they turned 5. Today three generations of our family will be at Wembley. It's in our blood. Up the Os! #lofc

Well if nothing else this team have proved this season they can overcome adversity, so we’re very much still in it. Besides, it’s better than being 2-0 up. #lofc

Given where we were in November, it would have been insane if we ended today as a Championship club. It wasn't to be, but God knows we got close, and this group of gutsy and talented players have given us so many unforgettable moments this season. Up the Os! #lofc

Matches that attracted fewer spectators than the League One playoff final this season: 1) The European Cup Final 2) The Europa League Final 3) Every single Premier League match #LOFC = massive #onlyherefortheOrient

Personally I loved Dom "Wrecking" Ball. His defensive header at the death against Wrexham was probably the best football thing that has ever happened. #lofc

Michael is the latest in a long tradition of Scottish right backs at Orient, stretching all the way back to Andrew Cave-Brown and forward to Andrew Cave-Brown. And Scott Cuthbert in 13/14. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #lofc
