Robin van Persie With the Perfect Free Kick Winner (Manchester City vs Manchester United)
Joe Hart took one step too many to his left; Samir Nasri sent his leg forward just a tad too much.

Manchester United – Wayne Rooney Can’t Make Subs Better
It was a strange approach from Alex Ferguson and Manchester United on their final group stage match of the Champions League this season, clinching qualification a month ago.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie is All You Need
Two schools of thought in football: One says that results are all that matter, and it doesn’t matter how you win.

Manchester United – Robin van Persie in his Best Form Ever
This Manchester United side that Alex Ferguson is running with this season is a strange hybrid of atrocious defending, a goalkeeper that defies logic, no midfield play whatsoever, wings that keep on pushing and one Robin van Persie, continuing a two year stretch of being the best goalscorer and player in the Premier League.

What Wayne Rooney Will Look Like After Football
Poor Wayne Rooney. It’s not his fault that he doesn’t have the genes to make him look like an Olympic swimmer. Despite all of his talent and accomplishment, people will always find a way to get back to his fondness of chubbiness and going bald, taking a step against that one by installing hair plugs, quite successfully one should admit.
