Torquay United - Saturday 02/01/10

The FA Cup third round hasn't been kind to Brighton and Hove Albion in recent seasons. When  they have made it that far in the competition, defeat has inevitably followed - so much so that it was 17 years since the Seagulls last progressed into the last 32. Victory over League Two side Torquay United would see Gus Poyet's men into the fourth round, providing that the game went ahead following freezing conditions in the west country

Baby Potts rests on the information system of the train McCarthy is so desparate to urinate he is forced into sharing the train toilet with Potter, who naturally decides to open the door mid-flow, much to the general disgust of the rest of the train carriage
