100th Official Post

Image
By


This is what my blog first looked like way back in 2011
Exactly 3 years ago today I posted my 1st Official Post and I would never have believed that 3 years on I would be posting my 100th Official Post. That 1st post had about 30 visits (if memory serves me correct) and today the blogs visits count stands at more than 12000.

 
Recognition must go out to the two people that encouraged me to start a Blog namely my brother Aldrin Adams & his brother-in-law Glenn Petersen, without their encouragement JCBA SPORTSUNITED  would never have been (and yes they helped in naming it as well).

It's just poetic justice that both my 1st and 100th post deals with a Manchester United vs Liverpool FC fixture. Old Trafford is the scene this Sunday 16th March 2014. Undoubtedly the fixture both supporters look forward to most every season.

This season it's different though United find themselves with a point to prove and Liverpool are serious contenders to win the English Premier League (EPL) Title, and its normally the other way around. The defending champions also find themselves in the unfamiliar position of not being favourites even though they at home. Liverpool FC come to Manchester in a confident mood because not just because of their form but United have only managed one home victory and a draw against top 7 opposition and have lost there to Newcastle, Everton and Spurs.
You better believe there is plenty to play for, it's one of those fixtures no manager needs to motivate his chargers for. Talking about Liverpool  and their form the Merseysiders are yet to taste defeat in the EPL this year and with the S-A-S strike force that's second to none in Europe it doesn't bode well for the host. Don't get me wrong United are unbeaten in 4 and have now won 2 on the trot, so they not just going to lay down, especially not at home.
 
 
Key Men
Wayne Rooney and Captain Steven Gerrard for me will be crucial in this titanic fixture. It's true Manchester United/Liverpool play well if these two play well. Yes a team consists of 11 players but I'd be giving these two some special attention as both teams are littered with talent but the heart beat is Wayne and Steven no doubt.
 
Prediction
It's a must win for both teams, with one eye on the London Derby (just after this fixture) probably makes this a "6 pointer" as well. Which way will it go? Your guess is as good as mine, but one thing is for sure, Manchester is and will always be RED.

The Premier League changes its logo.

By
The most lucrative football league in the world, The English Premier League (EPL), yesterday unveiled its new official logo, which will be used from the 2016-17 season onwards. The division's lion icon has been the face of England's top flight since its launch in 1992 but has undergone a makeover to give it a fresh, modern look. It means, EPL is ending its 12-year association with Barclays bank and will from now on be known simply as ‘the Premier League’. The new logo – has a crowned lion’s head gazing to the right, accompanied by either the words ‘Premier League’ or ‘PL’ -- will replace the current logo of a lion with its left paw on a football. All 20 clubs in the top flight have also agreed a new centralised sponsorship strategy, meaning the league will no longer have a named sponsor. “From next season we will move away from title sponsorship and the competition will be known as the Premier League, a decision which provided the opportunity to consider how we wanted ...

Arsene Wenger v Jose Mourinho: The history of their rivalry in quotes

By
A must read by Adams Bate of Skysports news, The war of words between Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger goes on and on. While the Manchester United boss has generally had the upper hand on the pitch over the years, both managers have had stern words for each other in the press room. Here we recall their rivalry in quotes, dating back to Mourinho's first season in English football... "I don't see especially that Chelsea play more English players than we do. Who have they produced, homegrown? Just one, John Terry." - Wenger in 2005 when quizzed on Arsenal's all-foreign line-up. At the beginning of the following season in August 2005, Wenger also expressed concerns over Chelsea's tactics: "I know we live in a world where we have only winners and losers, but once a sport encourages teams who refuse to take the initiative, the sport is in danger." Mourinho was unimpressed. "Wenger has a real problem with us and I think he is what you ca...

Currie Cup Final "Op Nuweland"

By
Op Nuweland (i.e. In Newlands Stadium) for Capetonian Rugby lovers has a special connotation understood only with a beer, friends, family, braai and biltong on match days. This match day Cape Town can boast a Currie Cup Final, and a deserved one I might add, for the first time in 12 years. It will also be the 12th time since 1939 that this illustriuos stadium hosts the Currie Cup Final, with only Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria hosting more (17). It has also been dominated by these two teams for the last 4 years with Western Province(WP) taking part in three of the last four finals. The Sharks can boast being in their fourth Currie Cup Final in as many years, each winning the title just once in that time. A stat each side will want to change as it's one thing to take part in a show piece and quite another to win one. WP are in the uneviable position of being tagged favourites come Saturday not just for them being the defending champions and them being at thier home patch but because t...
