He's special alright. A special kind of twat.
Mario Balotelli

I can definitely agree with that.
I just don't see all this talent everyone goes on about. Sometimes I try to convince myself he must be amazing because every man and his dog says so but i'm yet to see it.
He's had the odd, very rare, flash of brilliance but has been mainly a lazy, sulking, sloppy cnut.
I'm reserving judgement on his talent. You can see there's something there. But every single time I've watched him this season his attitude has been shocking.
I'm starting to doubt that you can.
Had I seen all of the performances i've seen of his without knowing anything about him at all i'd have him down as a distinctly average player with a huge attitude problem.
I've never seen him do anything that has literally made me sit up and go "Woah. He's some player"
I think that sums him up perfectly. He needs a SAF to offer him a guiding hand.
My insane old ma would say he's all mouth and no trousers. I've absolutely no idea what that means, but it seems appropriate.
apparently he has an allergi to grass......grass!!

Mario Balotelli suffers an allergic reaction to the GRASS in Kiev | The Sun |Sport|Football
He was awful again last-night, every-time I watch him I expect him to do something and prove my doubting wrong, seems though he becomes an even lazier, useless, twat with every passing-game. His attitude is just shocking, would love to know what City fans make of him.
another night of first class commitment from Super Mario again last nightThere only reason he's at City is to pocket 10million in a year. He'll be off in the summer, my money is on Milan.
Apparently some Italian player had to be subbed off last week because of an allergic reaction to the dye they use to paint their grass green. Yes, that's right. They paint the grass green in Serie A. What the feck?apparently he has an allergi to grass......grass!!
Balottelli's behaviour last night was an absolute disgrace. Wandered off just before his team went on the pitch and let them start the second half without him. Because he had a wee bit of hay fever. Never seen anything like it in all my years watching football. What a selfish twat.
In fairness Pogue, in all likelihood it's more then a bit of hay fever though.
Not the right way to do things, but they did say his face was swelling up loads as soon as he got out there.

Could he end up being one of the greatest wastes of talents ever?
Maybe he will grow up and some point who knows.

Never a dull moment with Mario. I hope he stays in England.
Isn't it getting a bit predictable, devoting so much time to defending United players to the hilt but angrily calling so many opposition players cnuts and twats all the time?
It just seems like oafish, unconsidered bias to me...
Balottelli was administered 2 antihistamine injections last night at half time and was apparently still obviously suffering from the effects of the reaction so was deemed unable to continue. How is that selfish? Why the angry tirade?
Balottelli's a twat, Joe Cole's a cnut etc etc It hardly raises the level of debate, does it? It's always a polemic with you...
Oh noes. I guess I'll have to bear that in mind.Re Ballotelli being selfish, it was the fact he took it upon himself not to walk out onto the pitch after half-time. If he couldn't have continued he could have asked to be subbed before the second half started. Once that didn't happen, the onus was on him to drag his arse out onto the pitch, do his best to contribute, while waiting to be subbed. It's not like he had a fecking broken leg. He had an allergy. To grass. Commonly known as hay fever. You don't just not turn up for the second half like that. Pathetic behaviour.
I never called Joe Cole a cnut, by the way. I can only assume that particular comment is just oafish, unconsidered bias on your part.
Same here, he keeps me very entertained.
Just seen his tackle on Goran Popov.This guy as serious issues.
I wouldn't take him if they paid us to have him. I said that when he was at Inter, and I say it now
Doesn't matter how talented you are, if your attitude is that disjointed, you're a liability

Haha what an absolute retard.
Wow ... that is all I can say to the bib incident.
Another red card.What's wrong with this kid ? He is just a fecking hillbilly given a golden life
Only saw it once, but was it really worth a red? Looked to me like he didn't even connect.
No way a sending-off - he hung his leg out and scraped the guy. Yellow.
You can't go around handing out punishments based on how much they injure the player (unless it's Ramsey, but let's not go into that). He put his fecking studs against the bloke's chest (and then his thigh). If that's not a red card, I don't know what is.
Got out of his car and confronted Kiev fans who were sticking up their fingers at him after the match
So how has this lad been doing for City?
Sending off my arse, he waved his leg around. That's about it. You're just a media dupe.
I feel sorry for him, some of these sending offs are just a bad rep he has, they are not justifiable. "oh, a player is down, Balotelli caused his injury, Red card".
Lazy referees

No Arsenal player - Yellow
Arsenal player - Ban him forever
That's a particular stupid comment. Balotelli wasn't going to injure a player waving his leg around. De Jong for example is still flying into tackles at reckless force despite breaking two legs in a year.
You deliberately kick out at someone, waist high or higher, and you walk. Simples.
Risk of injury is irrelevant, as we see all the time when people get sent off for those gay, rutting stag, "headbutts".

It wasn't a kick-out it was a high foot. It's a pathetic media witch hunt lapped up by morons.
Even Mancini said it was a stupid challenge and a red card.
I don't know what your on about pete, if that was an Arsenal player you'd be talking about possible arrest.

The sad thing is that there was a thread in the transfer forum about this lad over the summer which went to about 10 squillion pages and many were really disappointed (understatement) when City secured his signature.
Well... I might be made to eat my words yet but give me Hernandez over this guy any day of the week.

Of course it was a kick out. As admitted by his own manager.
Have you been drinking?
He's either trying to WUM or he's drunk.
On St Patrick's day? I'd have to take more than strong drink to call that a sending off though. Cf Carragher on Nani.
Watch the replay again. He extended his leg twice (arguably three times) with the ball long gone. A blatant red and a stupid one at that.
