100th Official Post



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.

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

What happens if Manchester United win the Europa League & finish in the top four?

  Due to Champions League qualification clubs are now looking more favourably at the Europa League competition.  So Manchester United will naturally be gunning for glory as they take on Celta Vigo in their semi final.   If however, they win the tournament and finish the English Premier League in the top four, England will have just the four teams in Europe’s elite competition. What I find more interesting is if Manchester United win the Europa League and finish outside the top four! Should this scenario occur, England will have FIVE entrants to the Champions League, rather than four – with United joining the top four Premier League clubs.   There are a host of different scenarios as to who will be in Europe's second tier next season. For starters, the Premier League's fifth-placed club - should United not win the Europa League AND finish outside the top four - will go into the pot.   Then there's the EFL Cup - or League Cup - winners... however that tournament w

Ronaldo keeps on winning - Fifa Best Player Award

Cristiano Ronaldo was named the world's best player at the inaugural Best Fifa Football Awards in Zurich. Real Madrid and Portugal forward Ronaldo, 31, beat Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann to the prize. Ronaldo also won the Ballon d'Or in December, with both honours recognition for success in the Champions League with Real and Euro 2016 with Portugal. 2016 was quite a year for Ronaldo. As well as scoring the decisive penalty in the shootout to win the Champions League, rescuing Real with a hat-trick in the final of the Club World Cup, captaining Portugal to Euro 2016 glory and being recognised with a fourth Ballon d'Or, he now has something Messi does not - the honour of being named best Fifa men's player. The former Manchester United forward had been the favourite for the award, following a year in which he continued to deliver. The stats don’t lie: 44 games, 42 goals, 14 assists. The third best minutes-per-goal
