Balotelli would have done what Gervinho did? He would still be getting crucified, the planet would be in an uproar. They would have banned him for the rest of the season I'm sure of it.

Shrug. Who cares?

Stop moaning for the sake of it.

Maybe i am moaning for the sake. But that don't take away from my feeling there is a double standard for the Italian.

"The Italian" is a persistent nutter. Let's see how Gervinho goes on shall we?

city fans would be the first in line to drive the stakes through

You know who also cried that he would be crucified for doing the same? Joey Barton, congratulations you are now as wise and insightful as a ex-con scouse thug.

Once Mario starts to act like someone who deserves a fair break then I'll defend him if/when he isn't given one.

As long as he continues to act like a berk then I really couldn't care less whether he's treated fairly or not.

I'm more concerned about the fact that we have an absolute nutter, and an unreliable one at that, taking up a valuable place in our squad and one of our striking berths.

Balotelli would have twatted Barton properly, the very second Barton touched him, rather than slapping him 30 secs later. I don't know if that's good or bad, but that's what would have happened.

WHat IF Balotelli was made of halloumi cheese ?

[kinkylola]

he'd be delicious and go great with olives and hummus ... he may already qualify as halloumi cheese
