A fateful wrong turn

A group of Chelsea fans got an unexpected soaking on Sunday, as the open-top bus they were riding on to celebrate their FA Cup victory took a wrong turn into the Manchester United fan zone.

"There we were sat having a nice cold beer in the sun," explained Manchester United fan Dean Evans in his Twitter post. "When some k**b head bus driver takes the left turn instead of a right."

The video attached tells the rest of the story. After losing a cup final, the last thing you want to see is a bunch of joyous fans from the opposition rubbing your face in it. 

But that's exactly what this group of United fans were faced with on Sunday. Chelsea beat them 1-0 in the final, and some of the ecstatic cockney fans decided to grab an open top bus to celebrate.

So far so good, but they maybe should have hired a better driver, because the person behind the wheel of this one made a grave navigational error. The bus was accidentally driven into a Manchester United fan zone, where a bunch of fans were at the pub drowning their sorrows. 

Unsurprisingly, the United fans didn't take well to the sight of a Chelsea bus, and they lobbed whatever they had to hand. That happened to result in a wave of pints being launched at the Chelsea fans, but they didn't seem to be too bothered. We all know which side of this battle we'd rather be on...
