This weekend sees one of the biggest London derbies for years. I don’t mean the Premiership scrap for the Europa League spot between Arsenal and Tottenham. Much as it is amusing to see the Wenger boys throwing it all away, that’s their issue. My attention will, of course, be on ‘El Capito’ – the East v West battle at the top of League One between Leyton Orient and Brentford at Brisbane Road.
The game is a sell out. Not bad for a third tier game with a lunchtime kick off. But then, why wouldn’t it be?
To read the rest of this article, season 2013/14 is now available to download onto Kindle, in full. Containing previously unseen content, you can do so here for less than the cost of one matchday programme.
Thanks for reading over the course of the campaign. For now I need to make space on this page for any follow up. The ‘close season’ / World Cup columns continue in full, further on in this site.

Who is the real fox in the (commentary) box for El Capito?
