No doubt they'll make the most of this. A chance for them to have a go at the Tories and Boris while carrying on at the Hammers! I will be watching the match on BT Sport.

hehe think your about spot on w/ prediction re the stadium Rich. Wonder how many times orient's former owner will pop-up.

I'll find a stream for the game somewhere - sounds like a strong team's been taken to Romania.

I worry a bit about the possibility of us being accused of getting the stadium too cheap & having to repay more £'s.

Never understood why we didn't agree to ground share with LO.

I really don't mind if we lose tonight. Need to concentrate on the Premiership IMO.

Doesn't matter now - lease is signed. Sure that the beeb will look to rake up a load of bks though.

Be that as it may, I can't find the match on any sports channels here in Sweden, so if you find a decent stream I'd appreciate it smile

But as a side note, whilst id get a lot of st from my friends for being dumped out the tournament by this team, it probably is for the best.

Sorry - got sidetracked with cricket highlights, not had a look yet.

Good start though.

Wasn't great was it.

Jesus, had to find a stream after my phone went off twice in two minutes with their goal updates. Terrible defending for their first that I've just seen, missed their second as I was typing this.

None of the defenders smile Only new players are Randolph in goal & Lanzini. Henry, whose in defence, was signed last year at Xmas and was on loan at Blackburn. Bulk of side's youth players.

Didn't instantly recognise the coloured guy whose legs the ball went straight through.

ETA: some will say "ah well didn't want to be in the 'Europops' league." or "Concentrate on the league." personally I find it quite disturbing that we can't get through the initial phases. We really should have had enough talent in the squad to handle three games against teams ranked several places lower.

Henry.

Pretty clear where Club's priority lies with that team choice tonight.

Kids didn't look to bad second half - Cullen played well.

Personally I find it quite concerning. I firmly believe winning breeds a winning mentality. I never agree with the idea of fielding a team to lose. BFS did it last year in the cup and I was appalled.

Tonight was worse than that as we were playing a team that we should have beaten.

BS wouldn't have been allowed back to E London if he'd still been in charge.
