But how to soothe souls inflamed by the intense torment imposed first by childhood experiences almost too sordid to believe and then, with mechanical repetition, by the sufferers themselves? And how to offer them comfort when their suffering is made worse every day by social ostracism—by what the scholar and writer Elliot Leyton has described as “the bland, racist, sexist, and ‘classist’ prejudices buried in Canadian society: an institutionalized contempt for the poor, for sex-trade workers, for drug addicts and alcoholics, for aboriginal people.

A year before Wenger’s appointment, Leyton Orient manager John Sitton had been the subject of a Channel 4 documentary that recorded him threatening to fight his own players in a famously bizarre dressing-room outburst. ‘When I tell you to do something, do it, and if you come back at me, we’ll have a fucking right sort-out in here,’ he roared at two players. ‘All right? And you can pair up if you like, and you can fucking pick someone else to help you, and you can bring your fucking dinner, ’coz by the time I’ve finished with you, you’ll fucking need it.’ That was the 1990s football manager.

Yet if I am not mistaken we are likely to be there well before Lord Leyton - well before even your little squadron...'
'What the Devil do you mean by my little squadron? It is a perfectly normal squadron, rather large than otherwise. Two ships of the line apart from Suffolk: a fifty-gun ship, two considerable sloops of war . . .'
'Hush, hush, Jack. Never fly into a passion, soul,' cried Stephen, seeing that his friend was seriously annoyed. 'Sure you must know after all this time that we use little as an endearment - a meliorative term, as one says my little Puss to a handsome Amazon that weighs fifteen stone in her shift.

We’re a product of changes
Life was created by changes
Leaves a mother’s womb
For a changing world
Leave the world of change
Into earth’s womb
Came from mother womb
Returns dead to mother earth
Woman and man create us.
Then we create a family.
Life begins at the first breath
Loose the last breath at death.
Lived first with a mother
Then lives with a woman
As lover, wife and mother.
Trained by our parents
Then teach our children.
Life continues revolving

For me, it is and has always been Leyton Orient. I can trace the roots of my passion to 1959, the year I went mad for football. I played, not very well, at my school, Buckhurst Hill County High.
