Leyton Orient - Saturday 07/03/09

Following last weeks 4-0 defeat at home to Crewe, Brighton were in all kinds of relegation trouble. It was a massive massive game at Brisbane Road against Leyton Orient, as three points could potentially see the Seagulls climb out of the drop zone. Luckily, Russell Slade - who shares an uncanny resemblance to a potato - was in charge for the first time having been appointed the day before. With 2000 Brighton fans in attendance, the new man knew he had no time to waste if he was to pull off a minor miracle and keep Brighton in League One.

 

Potter awakens on Rumbles sofa, wearing what can only be described as a ludicrously gay pair of socks
McCarthy bizarely got in from the previous evenings Oceana escapades and decided it would be a good idea to sleep naked
Kane is so hungover that he is forced to drink water from what can only be described as a vase
Good morning Hove

A man had to be called to come and board up the broken window
McCarthy and Rumble are soon back on Strongbow, as well as enjoying the remainder of the pizza from the previous night

A good effort to get through this much on the way to London Victoria
McCarthy became separated from the group and was soon presured into passing the beer from one carriage to the other via the window
Another blatant flouncing of Boris no drinking on public transport rule
Potter denotes his intoxicated state by placing a carrier bag over his head
The ludicrous situation of there only being one toilet to use at Leyton tube station meant McCarthy and Jenkins went at the same time, with the result being McCarthy unfortunately splashing some urine over Jenkins leg
Potter has to question who on earth is going to buy a banana in this sort of condition
Jenkins begins to add ice to McCarthys pint in the pub before the game
Dave the Gaffer was mistaken for Russell Slade

It was good to see Andy Whing boozing it up before the game
We could only presume these police were talking to this man regarding crimes against fashion
Outside of Brisbane Road
Jenkins and McCarthy take part in the traditional pre-Orient photo with police officers
Things go a step further this year when we get a police horse involved
The new Crocs on Tour flag gained a lot of attention due to the fact it was simply a Welsh football flag

Russell Slade makes his first appearance on the pitch during the warm up to wave to the fans
Rumble appears to be happy with the appointment
McCarthy is soon recognised as a celebrity thanks to his role of presenter on the Albion Moan In as Ian Hart interviews him for the official website
The risen stand behind the goal
The new main stand
The other stand behind the goal
The players are welcomed onto the pitch with a crescendo of balloons
The teams line up ahead of kick off
Potter noted that he was delighted with Lloyd Owusu for being a black player who wears white boots, as you don't see it very often
He obviously hadn't noticed Craig Davies
Or Alhassan Bangura
Or Jason Jarrett
Or this Leyton Orient player
Kevin McLeod whips a corner into the box

This fan had the perfect view from his flat, complete with a beer
Here we see Russell. In his brown suit

Rumble enjoys his custom made cheese sandwich
McCarthy takes a nibble on a lubricated penis
Mikkel Andersen made his debut in this delightful short sleeved effort
Another shot that shows Russell in his brown suit
Here we see how ridiculous Potters claim about not many black players wearing white boots was, with no less than five in one photo
The Albion attack with a corner
Just to emphasise the point. Russell Slade. Brown suit
This sign presumbaly meant there was only one sandwich available
Another fan was mistaken for Russell Slade in the pub after the game
Russell Slade was for some or known reason presenting Harry Hills TV Burp after the game
Only in London would you be able to find a bed in the middle of the street and proceed to push McCarthy down the road on it
It comes at a price though, as Jenkins ends up with a nasty cut on his knee
This train workers tie is gained as the ultimate prize from an excellent day out
