It’s the Defence, Stupid
Ferguson's team drew at Swansea and then beat Newcastle United at Old Trafford - another barnstormer of a match.
On the final Rant Cast of the year regular presenters Ed and Paul look back on two eventful matches in the past week. First, Sir Alex Ferguson’s team drew at Swansea City, but the performance was over-shadowed by controversial incidents on the pitch. Was Ferguson right to question Ashley Williams’ ‘attack’ on Robin van Persie, or was the Scottish manager simply manipulating the media? We move on to United’s victory over Newcastle United at Old Trafford – another barnstormer of a match, with the Reds coming out 4-3 winners. But how long can Ferguson’s side keep on coming back from the brink when goals are shipped quite so easily? Also on this week’s show – we look ahead to matches against West Bromwich Albion and Wigan Athletic in the coming week. Can United stretch the Premier League lead beyond seven points? Finally, we take your twitter questions and say goodbye to 2012.
