What do you want him to do? Pay 50 grand for a watch and leave it at home?

LOL. Thought this was quiet funny!

he should spend more time learning how to fit training bibs.

But if he learned how to put on a training bib then we wouldn't be able to laugh at him not being able to put on a training bib :pac:

In a country that has notoriously racist undertones from some of its football fans, sadly yes I think he is suggesting that.

If not, the guy that drew it and editor who gave it the go ahead are very stupid, especially with racism so high on the agenda these past couple of months.

You are generalising now which is never a good thing.

The world has gone mad I think when you see a story about a harmless cartoon.

If that was Di Canio up on Westminister there wouldn't be a word about it. The cartoon for me is depicting a man who has risen to the top of the game in England and the Italian International team despite all the crazy stuff he has done.

I suppose its what you behold when you look at a picture but racial thoughts never enter my head at all. Only time that happens is when I come on here or talk to some gutter press reading soccer fan in the pub.

What a crazy post. Do you just go out of your way to defend the indefensible the whole time?

he is every thing that is wrong about over paid footballers, a rotten attitude all round, big headed, he def has issues mentally,

Overpaid? He gets paid about 6-7 million a year before tax. That pass to Aguero in the last minute against QPR was well worth more than 6-7 million. Add to that all the crucial goals in the season which led up to that moment. 6-7 million a year is a bargain for what he contributed.

Everything that's wrong with modern footballers they said.

Has done nothing to deserve the hype they said.

I've come to the conclusion that I both like and dislike Mario Balotelli in equal measure.

He's a hero!!!! Absolute pure entertainment. The thing with him as well, almost hidden amongst the controversy, is the fact he's a brilliant player.

Never doubted him.. Boss player when he sets his mind to it

He is a character and you never know what he'll do next. Makes things more interesting!

Brilliant and sad thing about him his when he scored the screamer and got booked for taking his top off, fair few people thinking hes gonna get sent bleedin off later in the game for a stupid tackle.

Hes mental and brilliant in equal measures.

I hate him when he's winning the Premier League for City.

I love him when he comes out and compares himself to a postman.

He's the ultimate loose cannon. In the final he could get sent off after 5 minutes or he could bang in 3 goals. Can't keep your eyes off him.

What pisses me off about Balotelli is the "Lolz, Ladotelli is a leguhnd!1!!".

For example, had any other player lay there instead of doing press ups everyone would be calling them a "Lazy cúnt" etc., but because it's Balotelli it's hilarious.

I used to like him too, but fúcktards on my Facebook and Twitter have ruined him for me.:pac:

tbh its his attitude, City fans love him now cos hes playing for them and winning. Gaurantee the minute he demands his transfer to whoever they will switch over.


personally i prefer my professional footballers to be professional.

The_Kew_Tour

If he played for Madrid or Man Utd he could very well been most hated footballer of all time.

He not very well liked in Italy if my Italian friends are to be believed. Could change at wend.

Ah to be fair anyone that says that 'true lad' shít is a dope and is best avoided at all costs.

Some of the stuff that he does is completely retarded, other stuff is great. As long as he's not being a total gobshíte then he's grand.

Oh and I don't think anyone would be calling him a lazy cúnt after seeing his muscles tonight when he whipped off his jersey.

I like my professional footballers to score a load of goals, win plenty of trophies and entertain the watching public.

he has the maturity of an 11 year old, the jury is still out on him.

and people saying he is world class must be smoking a new grade pineapple express, messi is on a different galaxy to him.

parc

as a united fan, I'm taking the opportunity to sit back and be entertained by him this tournament

just sit there and say "lol, that lovable rogue balotelli", cos I won't be doing it in a few months

What the **** does that have to do with anything?

Your suggesting that if someone is not as good as or better then Messi he can't be world class? Messi is the only world class player on the planet?

ridiculous comment tbh

He celebrated his second goal by taking off his shirt and striking a typically defiant pose.

"They didn't get angry because I was booked for taking my shirt off, but they saw my physique and got jealous,"

NabyLadistheman

The boy came of age last night. Personally delighted for him. Hopefully will go on & win the final for Italy now.

If he cut's out the nonsense for the new season he could be top scorer in the league. That tackle on Song was seriously bad form though. He has a long way to go to prove to people that he can play consistently over the course of a season & not getting sent off every other game.

Show me any club where a fan favourite has demanded a transfer and the fans havent kicked up stink and either hated the player if he left or loved him and forgot about the whole incident.

Rooney, Gerrard, Torres, Modric to name a few spring to mind regarding the above.

Happens all over the world really.

Rooney still has a few people left to win over after his negotiation tactic

Really? I thought it would have been forgotten about now, hes stepped up another level with his goals and perforamnces since then, I suppose its the least you can expect when he signs a bumper deal though.

I guess I can't speak for everyone, but the way he conducted himself has still left me with a slight distaste for him.

His goals record has improved alright but in a way I think his performances have dropped slightly, he was pretty non existent in a lot of games but managed to get on the score sheet last year. Now in the grand scheme of things thats all that really matters I guess, Mario Gomez has made a name for himself doing it.

He still has a bit to go to make me forget about it anyway. I have forgiven him but don't see him as being a United player for life anymore, if and when he is sold it won't come as, as much of a surprise or disappointment to me, provided we have replacement in place or lined up.

He might make me love him again this season though hopefully

There are few who still holds it against him, can't blame them for it either, but I for one have no problem with it. He apologised for it(maybe after bigger contract) and we have to move on.

I hope he plays well as I am rooting for Italy on Sunday cause always have soft spot for Italy. Plus my Dad actually has Balotelli to be Top Goalscorer ew at savage price.

I had Poldolski:o

Mr.Crinklewood

He should have did press-ups as part of his goal celebration.

Me too, 33/1. Needs a goal to win it by himself, will almost definitely be joint winner at worst

willmunny1990

He's a player with a ridiculous amount of talent but he's also a massive liability.

He's just as likely to cost you a game as he is to win you one. His antics at City last season were disgraceful at times and he made Mancini look like a clown more than once. I can't see him staying to long at City and when he inevitably demands a transfer i wonder will the love in from City fans for this volatile character continue.

My Dad just got little higher I think it was 42 on Betfair and 9/1 place.

Place money looks certain anyway for you and hopefully you get 1 goal

Gomez is leading it due to an assist at the minute.

Fight_Night

At present I love Balotelli, but tbh I think it's just a matter of time before he does something very stupid like a wreckless leg breaking tackle and a lot of his fans will turn on him. He seems like a nice guy though other than his occasional temper.

kryogen

SantryRed wrote: »

Seriously?

How come assists are included in a top scorer market?

Is it a tie break or something? It wouldnt be right in other circumstances sure, a guy could score 1 but assist 4 and finish ahead of a guy who scored 4 if that was the case then?
