Whacked By Hardcore Manu Fan

I went to watch Manu vs Arsenal with my friends yesterday night. We were watching Liverpool vs Bolton before that. During the 1st half of the Manu vs Arsenal match, when Ronney hit the goal post, a hardcore Manu fan(African or Indian) sitting behind me thought it had gone in.

He jumped up from his seat and swung his arms vigorously. That manoeuvre ended with his fist hitting the top of my head. I was in pain for about 10 seconds and felt numbness after that. He gave a half-hearted apology and quickly went back to continue watching the game. I was so pissed for the remainding 1st half of the game.

During half time, I turned back and confronted him. This time, there was more sincerity in his apology. He also wanted to buy me a beer but I declined. At that moment, I felt that a drink was not enough to pay back 10 seconds of pain on my skull.

After the confrontation, 1 of his friends changed seats with him and I was able to concentrate on the game without worrying getting hit. However, during Manu's 1st goal(by Ronney), an Asia guy sitting behind an empty chair on my right side, jumped up to celebrate the goal. His action hit the empty chair infront of him and it fell towards my direction.

Fortunately, there are spacing in between tables & chairs for people to walk through, that spacing kept the chair within 15cm of hitting me. From my experience, the majority of Manu fan are like their players -> rough. Liverpool fan are way more discipline which is the same as their players.

Joke Per Post (If I Remember)
Mexican American War

During the Mexican/American war, an intense long standoff occurred along the front. For days and days neither side made any advances. Finally, an American general had a bright idea.
He aimed his rifle to the Mexican trenches and yelled "Hey Juan!"
A soldier jumped up and replied "What?"
The general shot him dead. This continued for three days.
A Mexican general decided that two could play this game and decided to try it out. He called out "Hey John!!"
An American replied "John isn't here......is that you Juan?"
The Mexican general stood up, "Yeah!"...
