This is a sad week for us here at Blog For The Crazy Sports Fans... Yesterday, our valiant boys in blue, Manchester City, lost 2-1 to Arsenal. ARSENAL... I hate life sometimes. Ozil had two assists, Walcott and Giroud scored. Yaya Toure scored a hell of a goal, but that wasn't nearly enough, we couldn't come back to win the game or even get a result. This is a tough blow for us, as we really needed this result to make anything happen. I'm not a happy trooper right now so that's all for this week. Until next time...

Hello my beautiful little creatures and welcome back to the best part of your week. That's right. IT'S THE BLOG FOR CRAZY SPORTS FANS *plays the ice cream truck music* This time we talk about the team of dreams, the team of destiny, THE GREATEST TEAM IN THE WOOOOOOOOORLD... Manchester City. This past weekend we faced off against Swansea in a game of redemption. We had been dropping points in the league recently and this was the game we needed to get back on track. The result was a 2-1 victory that saw My Little Bony, Wilfried Bony, score against the side that sold him for 28 million this past January. The game was a bit slow up until the 84' when Swansea scored to tie the game up. Then, in the 90', my boy Kelechi Iheanacho, the Nigerian Dream, the 18 year old sensation that's sweeping up the nation, scored a deflected goal that gave us the all important victory. This is a good result for the boys, now let's keep it up and prove who really owns Manchester. Until next time...

Hello everyone, welcome back to the best part of your week. THE BLOG FOR CRAZY SPORTS FANS *plays corny theme song that doesn't really exist* So today we are going to talk about the world's favorite team. The rightful owners of Manchester, Manchester City. We recently placed in a situation in the Champions League where we had to win all three points in order to win our group. What did the boys do? They absolutely smashed Borussia Monchengladbach 4-2 to secure our win of the group and enhance our chances at a great pairing in the Round of 16. The boys were down 2-1 entering the 79' minute, when the snake, the guy I hate but have to love, Raheem Sterling smashed the equalizer. Then, two minutes later, smashed the go ahead goal that gave us the lead 3-2. A few minutes later in the 86', My Little Bony, Wilfried Bony scored to put us up 4-2, ensuring our victory. This was a hell of a game and it was well fought. We escaped our group with the victory and now look forward to the Round of 16.

Hey all, today we revert back to soccer with some fantastic news. This past Tuesday, December 1st, Manchester City faced Hull City in the Capital One Cup. The result was a 4-1 thrashing that saw our boys in blue dominated the Hull side for the entire game. The game presented two intriguing stories that made me a very happy trooper. The game was basically decided by the brace (2 goals) that Kevin De Bruyne scored. I absolutely love the signing of De Bruyne, who in my opinion has been the best signing of the year. He has been brilliant this season and the future is very bright for our boys. Another storyline that presented itself was the return of David Silva from injury. He played a fantastic game and showed his class, which when healthy, is among the best players in the world. I am excited to see his return because he adds a dynamic to the squad that can't be match by any other player to our most dominant of sides.


That is really all I have for you guys this week. Are you as excited by the return of David Silva as I am? How many points will City win the league by? Will Aguero really leave us in 2019 for Independiente? We will know the answers in due time. For now, we sit back and enjoy the ride. Until the next time we meet...

After the charades of soccer last week and me getting emotional over Manchester City, let's talk about basketball. I am a HUGE Boston Celtics fan, have been my whole life. This is a transitional period in our history because we are working towards the future, so I don't expect much success in the near future. There is a shining light at the end of this current dark tunnel. This light is named Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons is the best player in the world under the age of 21. Ben Simmons is an 18 year old prospect who plays for LSU. Ben Simmons is the undisputed number one pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. You may ask yourself, "But Javier, the Celtics are in playoff position, they can't get the number one pick." To those, I give you this nugget of information. The Celtics have the draft pick of the Brooklyn Nets. The Brooklyn Nets, are awful. The third worst team in the NBA right now type of awful. We have their pick, with no restrictions, therefore, we have a BIG TIME chance at getting Mr. Ben Simmons. I mean, come on, just look at how perfect this looks....

Ben Simmons has dominated college basketball so far. He is averaging 19.3 PPG, 14.5 RPG, 5.3 APG, 2 SPG, AND 1 BPG. This is an 18 year old kid who is 6'11 AND PLAYS EVERY DAMN POSITION, SPECIFICALLY SMALL FORWARD, WHICH THE CELTICS DESPERATELY NEED. Life is good as a Celtics fan. Life is really good. But that is enough of my worshipping of this grown man-child. Until the next time we meet...

Hey there my crazy little fanatics. We are here to discuss one thing and one thing only, and that is sports. Now, the bulk of this blog will be soccer and basketball because those are my two favorite sports. I am a Manchester City and Boston Celtics fan. If you don't like that, let me just reminisce on the greatest moment in the history of Earth...





Isn't it beautiful ladies and gentlemen? Doesn't it just send shivers down your spine? Nothing will ever feel better than listening to the commentary of this joyous moment. "AGUEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" " I swear you'll never see anything like this ever again."
For those of you who don't know, this single goal won City their first ever league championship, on the last day of the season, while they were down two points to their hated rivals Manchester United (isn't it just lovely Patrick?)
That was about three and a half years ago. As we stand right now, City has won another title since and are currently in first place, absolutely dominating in domestic play. I know, I know, this post was basically a recap of Manchester City history, which I will admit isn't very large. We are a club that has become dominant only recently due to the money of our owner, but I became a fan for a different reason. I found a piece of myself in the club. It was never about prestige or how dominant they were, I was just a kid who turned on the tv one day and saw this club with some great looking jerseys playing. They weren't a big club and in fact, I'm pretty sure that season we ended up in 10th place that season. This was the 2008-2009 season for anyone wondering. I watched a young team that played together and had heart, had passion. This was before the Aguero era. At the time the squad only had players like Robinho, Elano, Jo (the greatest Brazilian trio ever people) <--- Please don't believe that, they were absolutely awful. I had to suffer with that, I deserve spending 56 million on Kevin De Bruyne. This was a team with promise and I was hooked from that moment onwards. That was 6 or 7 years ago. Since then I've seen some great stars like Aguero, Silva, and Kevin De Bruyne join the team. I was always a fan of the younger guys who would carry the next era of great greatness and saw young upstarts like Jack Rodwell, Adam Johnson (do not google his infamy please), Nastasić, Guidetti, and sadly, even Marcos Lopes (I miss him so much, damn you Monaco). Now, none of these guys are world class by any means (although Nastasic has a shot at it with another of my favorite clubs, Shalke). I love this club with the burning passion of a thousand suns. We WILL win the league this year and I look forward to talking about it with all of you. Until we meet again.
