TNP Sports Bar

Last Sat was my virgin trip to St James TNP Sports Bar to catch Man Utd in action against West Ham. It was an eye-opening and ear-deafening experience for me. I saw majority of hard-core Man Utd fans sitting together to chant all past and current Man Utd players. To think that they also chant West Ham's plight as they are back in relegation spot.

From the start of the whistle till West Ham scored the 2nd goal from the penalty spot, we applaused every corner that we took, cheered for every attack that hit on target, moaned at referee's decision or malicious tackles by West Ham players. After West Ham scored the 2nd goal, the silence is so eerily quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

2nd half was a different story the moment we saw Javier Hernandez been intro-ed to play. The game was more open and Man Utd found the rhythm to attack endlessly. A very different Man Utd that we know in the first half. In no time, Man Utd got back in the game when Wayne Rooney scored from the penalty spot, and there was no returning back.

After Javier Hernandez scored the final goal, the cheers returned and much louder. I left soon after the match. Had I stayed on for the rest of the matches, the cheers could have even be much louder as Blackburn and Stoke hold Arsenal and Chelsea to a draw respectively.

I think I will come regularly for some soccer actions and get to know more Man Utd fans. Good thing is near my workplace.

Glory Glory Man Utd!!!
