    If you’re a Manchester United fan, you’re probably mostly pleased about what some called a heroic performance, a display of champions, in the snow, hanging on to a Robin van Persie goal for 65 minutes only to concede and equalizer on the last minute of extra time.

    Tactics? What are tactics? Alex Ferguson continues to let his players go gung-ho in their attempts to erase all of their defensive mistakes.

    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.
