REPORT

| With
no Crystal Palace to play this season, sadly
Leyton Orient becomes the big derby match for
the Albion this season. Today's game is
significant, not just because of the recent
history between the two teams, but because
defeat will send take Orient out of the
relegation zone and above Brighton. If Saturday
was a 6 pointer, this game is a 9 pointer.
Having won 4-1 over Orient at Withdean earlier
in the season, Dean Wilkins men would settle for
anything here to end their poor run of form and
restore a little confidence at Withdean |

|
| Kane
records the evidence that he has infact paid for
the petrol, and is not just saying he has in
order to fool McCarthy into driving off and
facing criminal charges at a later date |
Kane
decides to check whether Potters money is a
genuine note |
 |
 |
| A
man driving a Smart Car - he deserves to have
his testicles castrated |
This
Polish lorry pulls off an inspired undertaking maneuver
due to the cheer congestion on the M25 |
 |
 |
| We
reach the Dartford crossing |
McCarthy
prepares to play that famous tunnel game.... |
 |
 |
| ....holding
your breath for the duration of the stay under
the tunnel |
Kane
also joins in |
 |
 |
| While
Potter and Upton decline the invite in the back |
Redbridge
Tube Station, where our journey into Leyton
would begin |
 |
 |
| Complete
confusion as Kane, Potter and Upton are deemed
able to get away with childs tickets |
While
McCarthy asks if anyone has a razor on their
person |
 |
 |
| This
tube map aids us in our journey |
We
can only hope this dome is not the sign of a
Mosque being in the vacinity |
|

|
 |
| KFC
is our first port of call, and unfortunately
Upton and Potter have some trouble understanding
the gentleman serving them their meals - so much
so that Potter ends up with the wrong burger,
but eats it regardless like the soldier he is |
Kane
settles down to his meal |
 |
 |
| Potter
does not look happy that his meal has been
somewhat messed up |
Upton
was without his sunglasses for today's game |
 |
 |
| McCarthy
deliberately orders beans with his meal so as to
make the journey home a little more interesting |
Kane
pulls the Bruce in what we presume to be an area
of the shopping centre that was meant to mirror Shakespeare's
Globe Theatre - and did so very poorly |
 |
 |
| The
amount of Russian pornography a satellite dish
of this size could pick up must be astonishing |
Potter
enjoys a pint in our chosen pub of the day, the
Coach and Horses |
 |
 |
| Uptons
drinking ability is legendary, as it takes a
mere pint to have the boy bouncing off the
walls. After this half, his eyes were beginning
to go |
McCarthy
took his duties as designated driver seriously
by restricting himself to two pints |
 |
 |
| The
tariff at the burger facility was particularly
generous |
Brisbane
Road in all her glory |
 |
 |
| Potter
once again looks like he is going to have
trouble getting it up |
This
stand is rather new |
 |
 |
| This
building site behind the goal doubled as a car
park |
Here
we see Dan doing his stuff before the game, the
man we were lucky enough to be introduced to in
the pub before the game |
 |
 |
| That
pint is having its affect on Upton, as he looks
like he is ready to burst into an operatic
performance |
With
a little help from Kane, Potter has got it up! |
 |
 |
| The
teams come onto the pitch for the game |
Potter
looks happy for once, possibly as for the first
time in February he has got it up |
 |
 |
| Kane
looks like a biblical figure, with the second
Crocs flag being his cloak |
McCarthy
pulls the Bruce |
 |
 |
| Clever
business sense from Orient, as they have
utilised the corners of their stadium to build
flats in |
This
limo in the car park suggested their was a
celebrity in attendance today, possibly Andy
Peters |
 |
 |
| This
Orient fan in the brown coat was amusing, as his
constant moaning was followed by conductor-like
arm movements |
Dean
Wilkins shoes denote that he was heading
straight to the discotheque when the game was
over |
 |
 |
| The
Albion have taken a 1-0 lead |
Michel
Kuipers is yet to be troubled as the second
phase kicks off |
 |
 |
| It
was like having a version of The Sims infront of
you with the view afforded into this flat,
except you couldn't control the occupier to get
into a swimming pool and then remove the ladder
for them to drown. Although there was a rumour
circling that the reason the light went out for
a while was because she was pleasuring herself
with a rolling pin |
Orient
have a rare attack through a corner, but
otherwise it is all Albion |
 |
 |
| Potter
looks like a traditional 1950s statistician fan
- long scarf, glasses, programme under the arm
and mouthing along to the songs |
The
Albion go mad as they take a 3-0 lead |
|

|
 |
| The
Orient fans have had enough and make their way
to the stadium exits |
It
finishes 4-1 to Brighton |
 |
 |
| The
Seagulls amazingly climb up to 14th in League
One |
And
at midnight, the Crocs celebrate being together
for the second Valentines Day in a row,
following last years trip to Norwich - although
this years was slightly more fruitful! |
