Manchester United won their 20th Barclays Premier League title on Monday with an emphatic 3-0 win against Aston Villa thanks to a Robin van Persie hat-trick. On www.supersport.com they had a look at the drama as it unfolded from the first day of the season and focus on defining moments which ultimately took the league title to Old Trafford. I've just put the pictures with the specific dates below. August 25 -- Following a wobbly start against Everton five days earlier, Man United tuned their title campaign into gear with a nervous 3-2 victory against Fulham at Old Trafford. Goals from new signing Robin van Persie, Kagawa and Da Silva did the job. September 2 -- Van Persie was really on fire here as he blasted a hat-trick against Southampton at St Mary's Stadium. The victory was all the more memorable as United had to come back from a goal down, not once but twice. September 15 -- A well-oiled Man United machine was now running at full throttle as they flatt

Who would've thought hey?... that "A year is a long time in football". Last year April Manicni was celebrating beating Manchester United and subsequently putting City 5 points clear at the top of the league. This April its quite the turn around, Manchester United are now 15 points clear and the English Premier League (EPL) is all but sawn up. No team needs any motivation for this fixture and the mind games have hit a crescendo with Mancini claiming "Manchester United don't deserve to be 15 points clear" and Sir Alex retort "We deserve to be 15 points ahead". If anyone doubts the importance of this Derby those comments tell that, even with United so far ahead, no manager wants to lose tonight. The memory of the last time the Citizen visited Old Trafford is still fresh in both camps but credit to Mancini for saying :"Six-one is in the history now," because as we all know "anything can happen in EPL and it usually does.&quo

Final part of this segment I present another debtant on JCBA Sports United Mr Robert Gezane (he is a friend of a friend) Manchester United supporter and for obvious reason I've saved the best for last. Manchester United will undoubtedly be crowned Premier League champions come the end of the 2012/13 season.United have been the most consistent Premier League team this season, amassing an incredible 25 wins in 30 games played,have 2 draws,3 defeats and have the best home and away record,so how's that for consistency? I personally think United have improved this season, although the critics might say they have not been lethal,they have been consistent,and that's what it takes to win the Premier League, ultimately the toughest League in Europe. United's goalkeeper, David De Gea, who was once scrutinized, is now showing he's true potential, Rafael is blossoming as a right back, a shoddy defense who leaked goals often is not watertight led by the resurgent Rio Fer

Next up is Ms Marisa Calvert (affectionately known as Reesie) a Chelsea supporter, its not only the first time she'll be on JCBA Sports United but she's breaking barriers in being the first female to feature too. Kudos to her who knows in future may many more follow. Forgive me, I’m still smiling after yesterday’s FA Cup replay. And as I told Jade, the FA Cup trophy loves the Stamford Bridge cabinet as much as the Premier League trophy enjoys its stay at Old Trafford. Many have tried, but not many have succeeded in winning back the trophy. Hats off to Manchester United though. Sir Alex Ferguson, I will swallow my pride and just applaud you for what you have done during your 20 years at the helm of one of the most successful football clubs in the world. Chelsea my Chelsea – it’s a rollercoaster supporting you. And after 11 years of proudly keeping my blue flag high, nothing Roman does shocks me anymore. Chelsea was one point behind United when RDM got sacked. Enter Rafa

So hit a snag on this Manchester City post, nonexistant... Apparently they undecided on whom they'll support next season. JCBA's response: So what response you want from me I guess all I can say about there season is well that they missed Yaya in the mid & Aguero's goals. Turns out not even millions enough to build quality squad, heck even with those two they'd be hard pressed to rake in 25 wins in your first 30 EPL fixtures. Only difference being Manchester United probably wouldn't be 15 clear.     Jade Christopher Bentley Adams (@JCBA)

Second up in this segment is Mr Gradwill Graig Pool a respected Educator and "Pioneer" in Afrikaans. Avid Tottenham supporter and has featured on JCBA Sport United before on a Rugby post way back in 2011. So I guess welcome back is in order! GP [VERY NEW AT THIS – FORCED TO WRITE THIS FOR JCBA] In any professional sport the ultimate challenge is winning! If you don’t win – you are second and if you are second people tend to forget you. That is why I respect Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson – because they know how to win. This is evident in their trophy haul over the past few decades. Manchester United is a champion team because they win soccer matches. And I don’t even like Manchester United…don’t know why! But you have to give credit where credit is due. As a Tottenham supporter, I expect the same. No excuses! Win your matches then you win trophies and people respect you. As a Tottenham supporter you unfortunately learn how not to get involved in championshi

The first installment starts off with the first to hand in his piece for this segment an Aresnal stalwart, the legendary Garth Graeme Le Roux. It's his first time featuring on JCBA Sports United, let's give him a round of applause. The Champions 2012/13: This will be, and I hate to admit this, Manchester United.  Think the pain and sorrow of losing the league on the last day with the last kick, really motivated Sir Alex and his devils to up their game this season.  By far the most consistent team who shows no mercy to the so called “lesser” teams (something the other top 4 candidates can’t seem to manage).  Helped that they had a genius in Robin Van Persie in their squad.  Who did they sign him from again? Don’t see United dropping any points at home, especially with Howard Webb or one of his friends in the middle.  Title no 20 dusted then. Second Spot: Will go to Manchester City.  Think in-fighting and a manager that isn’t sure whether he wants to be there or not has
