James Masters

@jackcurrie26 Thank you for everything, Jack. Best left-back we’ve had since Matt Lockwood. Your tackle at Stockport epitomised your tenacity, courage and determination. Hope we get to see you in an O’s shirt again one day. Best of luck. You’ve been brilliant.

Dear O’s, a year to remember with a club who made me feel at home from the first game to the last, through all the ups and downs along the way, gutted we couldn’t finish it the way you all deserved! The staff, the players and mostly the fans , thank you for everything ❤️🤍#LOFC

One thing I noted at Wembley today was that there was no animosity between #cafc and #lofc fans. It just all felt very cordial. In that spirit, best of luck to Charlton. Beat us three times this season, difficult to begrudge them today. All very tight games mind.

This summer will be huge given there will be so many players leaving and returning to their parent clubs. It’s another rebuild but the club now has fresh investment and a real opportunity to build on this season. Interesting few months ahead…#lofc

Difficult to have perspective after 4th play-off final loss. This season has been an incredible rollercoaster with fantastic memories but we weren’t at it today. I’m just disappointed that this group who worked so hard to get this far, didn’t do themselves justice. #lofc

Taken 11 years to the very day for us to get back to the L1 play-off final…what we’ve been through since had been extraordinary…tears, tragedy, triumph. Now it’s time to go full circle…we hope. #lofc

@LSwallow74 Thanks mate!

@Masters_JamesD Great words mate

Sunday is nearly here. I wrote this a couple of years ago about life, death and Orient. This is why it matters so much. It’s so much more than just football. See you Sunday. #lofc jamesmasters.substack.com/p/saying-goodb…

@NickGodwinsport Got to be honest Nick, it’s not just Palace fans feeling the days going slowly…going to be a long week.

Day going slowly Palace fans? Make it go quicker by listening to the whole thing again, from Tifo to trophy-lift and everything in between. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

300 mile round trip, home by 3am…but in 37 years of watching Orient, I’ve never known anything like this. It’s just six years since we were in the National League. Now we’re one win away from the Championship. Justin started all of this. Now we hope Richie can finish it. #lofc

Just leaving Stockport…11 years since we made the L1 play off final. So much has happened since then…but nights like this are why we fought so hard to save our club. From Waterlooville to Wembley, Leyton Orient FC. Our club. What a night. One.More.Game. #lofc

3.5 hour drive to Stockport, get to the pub and the Orient chairman Nigel Travis is buying all the drinks for supporters. A promising start to the evening. Club put on free coaches too. This club. #lofc

@West_Stand_O Are you leaking all our messages? Or just the one’s that make us look a bit silly?

Here's me and @Masters_JamesD discussing Orient's form back in October. Happy to be proved absolute idiots. #lofc

@LSwallow74 And thank you to you and Sam for the whole day’s itinerary! Was a great day out.

@Masters_JamesD Good to have the pleasure of your company yesterday mate

Yesterday was special. Orient made a mockery of the so-called pressure, no ‘typical Orient’ psyche that so many of us struggle to shake off. As the late Justin Edinburgh always said, “I’m here for the memories.” I think there may still be a few more to be made yet. You O’s. #lofc

@DJohns1988 There’s a picture of me at Bromley station somewhere, head in hands and looking mortified…I’ve not bought Tiptree jam for years either. Think it was so comfortable yesterday that by time the whistle went we were already thinking about next week.

@Masters_JamesD Certainly makes up for the 6-1 away defeat at Bromley... A 3-0 home defeat to Halifax and Jam has never quite been the same after that ill fated Fletcher spell! I actually thought we were flat at the final whistle as fans as if we didn't quite know what to do 😂

@OrientOutlook Biggest compliment I can pay them is that they made it look like an ordinary league game against very ordinary opposition. Agyei a real threat, Donley oozes class but Galbraith…not sure I’ve seen a more complete player in an Orient shirt. He’s a class above. We march on.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS… It’s the play offs for the mighty Leyton Orient as we beat Huddersfield Town 4-1 to finish the season in 6th place thanks to a double from Dan Agyei, an own goal & a header from Azeem Abdulai. Thoughts on today? #LOFC

Leyton Orient Football Club….capable of anything. What a club. #lofc

@OrientOutlook Richie bangs on about doing the basics but we couldn’t even muster that. Gave away another goal from a corner, wasted chances when we had them. Looked one-dimensional, lightweight on the left and why leave it so long to make changes? That’s the season over…gone with a whimper.

Another loss for the O’s as our season has taken a turn. Thoughts? #lofc

@The_O_in_Aloha Threw my cardigan on the floor in protest…

Tonight irritates me but it was always going to be difficult to win at Birmingham regardless so I can just about take it The potential effect of suspending 1 of our best players for 3 more games, all because a ref bottled it under pressure, is what I'm really seething about #LOFC
