Summary

#136. On the final show of the year, Ed & Paul look back on two eventful matches in the past week. First, Ferguson's team drew at Swansea, but the performance was over-shadowed by controversial incidents on the pitch. Was Fergie right to question Ashley Williams' "attack" on Robin van Persie, or was the manager simply manipulating the media? We move on to United's victory over Newcastle 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 Brom and Wigan in the coming week. Can United stretch the Premier League lead beyond seven points? Finally, we take your questions and say goodbye to 2012.No Question About That is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon Music and all good podcast apps.
