He does like scoring against Sunderland. I remember when we won the league the first time - maybe our 3rd or 4th game before the season ended, we were losing against Sunderland towards the end of the match and Kola popped up with a 60mph goal from outside the box that got us a draw. How vital that equaliser proved...
The run and shot from Balotelli for the second was rather enjoyable as well.
Another that gets a lot of shit but certainly played his part in the 11/12 season.
Jesus we were shit that day, as bad if not worse than anything we witnessed in the last couple of years. It was Mario and Kolarov tearing strips off each other that seemed to spark us into life.
Agree with you on Mario, particularly that last game against QPR, Aguero and to a lesser extent Dzeko took the plaudits for the turnaround but until Balo came on we were still trying to walk it into the net, it was his directness, peppering shots at goal that forced the momentum swing on the day.
