Footy Funnies December 15th 2010 - FA CUP SPECIAL

In honour of the most amazing FA Cup match EVER, it's eight gags about Leyton Orient v Droylsden.




ORIENT ROUND-UP
Leyton Orient P Carlisle P
According to the pools panel this was a home win, but the league table hasn't added the three points to Orient.
Honestly, sometimes I think the Football League is more corrupt than FIFA.

(1) Leyton Orient 8 Droylesden 2 FA Cup 2nd Rounds Replay AET
Orient cruised through to the third round of the FA Cup after trailing 2-0 to non-league Droylesden after 77 minutes.
Even more amazing they managed to do it without a 13 minute hat-trick from Matthew Lockwood.

(2) Orient scored six goals in 30 minutes of extra-time, a record for the FA Cup, with Jonathan Tehoue and Scott McGleish both scoring hat-tricks.
The last time two Orient players scored 3 each was a training session against sunday league pub team Birkbeck Orient.

(3) A NIGHT OF RECORDS, REDS  AND 'RITHMATIC

If ten goals wasn't enough excitement, there were five sending-offs, including the Droylesden manager Dave Pace.
Perhaps Droylesden will do better in the annual 5 a side indoor Manchester Masters Event. Only four more off.

(4) Considering the O's have previously lost to non-league Margate, Enfield and Hendon in the Cup, being 2-0 down after 77 minutes was no surprise and some fans left early.
They missed 8 goals in 43 minutes, but they were back home in time to see Frankie Boyle's Tramadol Nights gag about Katie Price and her son Harvey.


(5) ORIENT PUT THE '8 INTO GREAT
Orient have scored 8 in a match three other times since 1988 against Colchester, Rochdale and Doncaster.
Droylesen must be wishing the referee had been Nigel Miller, famous for missing clear Orient goals...

(6) ORIENT TRENDY ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Orient were trending on Twitter in the top ten subjects being talked about for the first, and probably last time.
In fact, it's the first time since the invention of the internet the O's have been in the Top Ten of anything.
With the exception of lowest attendances, worst burgers and ground with flats on the corner of each side.

(7) The first Droylsden v Orient match was televised live on ESPN on a Monday night

Most neutrals were watching Sky Sports though, where Barcelona thrashed Real Madrid 5-0.
If only Orient matches were as predictable as Russia World Cup bids...



(8) THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED
The Orient v Droylesden replay wasn't televised as it clashed with Champions League fixtures.
After Madrid's 5-0 defeat at Barca, Alan Sugar's repeated his comments on Jose Mourinhio.
"The Special One? I'd like to see how he'd do at Leyton Orient with no money"
