EPL: Manchester City Champions 2011/12

Haven’t heard that line in my lifetime.

Now for the events of the day.

The Drama


The Action with the best moving picture.


Aguero could have taken the fall inside the box to gain the penalty in the movement that led to the winning goal. While that would have been a dramatic moment – would it have been decided in his favour –  the fact that he played on, makes this all the more remarkable.

The Celebration


The Reflection



Having watched all the action on October 23rd, 2011, in a Union context, I can’t help but be reminded of Eden Park, as I take in this scene of sport, in Manchester.

Congratulations, City. Champions.

Liverpool for 2012/13?

Talking of the Digby tackle, take a look at this from the NRL, in last night’s match between the Sharks and Sea-Eagles.

Pleads guilty; seven weeks.

Has a brain-fart and fights the charge; could get 10.

If you’re living in the viral islands of New Zealand, you have likely witnessed the following clip, or, at the least, read about it online.

Tottenham: Nelsen on the end of a Hotspur Premier Transfer Line

February 2/12

All the details have been well truly delivered on the deadline.

Ryan Nelsen, the man who would lead the All Whites in South Africa in 2010, has taken the white to heart, falling on his feet, at the Premier League challengers with a free transfer overnight.

If that reads alot like good fortune, it is also the fruit of long fostered admiration for the character shown by this leader of the All Whites pack, in the Twilight of his career.

Thirty-Four years is not normative to make your career move in this sporting context, but the longtime Blackburn Rovers leader is making the most of this offering to a “glamour” club. [Read more...]

EQUALITY: Does Tennis Pay for Its Play?

When the rewards for winning in a Grand Slam become the ground for a battle of the sexes, any debate on – prize money to play – gets lost in a PC world.

Fortune favours the brave, and you are, as now that I am Mac, I won’t go back, meaning we can examine any possible rationale behind such a decision.

The opening line, as always, has much importance in a piece of writing, with that opening salvo, conceptual for many to justify the present situation of equal pay. Take a look at this table of prize money at Wimbledon from 1968-2011. [Read more...]

It was a Men’s Final to remember in the Australian Open as Novak Djokovic outlasted Rafael Nadal in a contest that many have remarked and will remember as the Final of the ages.

The impact of the occasion certainly left an impression in a kiwi context as the contest went well into another day.

Media in this Land of the Long White Cloud were somewhat singularly impacted by the occasion, with a consistent witness, the morning after. [Read more...]

NFL: Brady, O’Brien, and a Culture of Conflict

January 22/12

On iamjonnyking, you may have noticed that we are prone to go sporting wide, as we detail any number of sporting pursuits.  However, we also approximate times when the moment is right to – air it out – and go deep.

With the penultimate weekend in the National Football League finding its genesis in a matter of hours, I was reminded of an historic matter that, at the time, caught my attention.  I noted the commentary at the time; some words that caught my attention, which I will record for you, this day.

As I begin this piece, I am enjoying a summer in New Zealand, a moderate breeze, encircled with cloud; motivation enough to unleash my piece of flesh on unsuspecting family members – Yes, chest unfurled with plenty of sport.

Today has been a sporting smorgosboard on New Zealand television, with the National Hockey League’s, Winter Classic, finishing like it.  The unique New Yoorkers a.k.a., the Rangers holding on to beat the Philadelphia Flyers at Citizens Bank Park. [Read more...]

Sport. It’s happening in every country, on every continent, and throughout every culture most days of the week.  While most of us can’t get to each location live, who really cares when the best seat of the house is mediated by satellite, or at worst, some dodgy internet connection that fell off the back of a URL.
