Balotelli is not any type of football player

[Longball]

lad is homesick n prob wants to go back to italy- bye bye

[blue b4 the moon]

He's either going to score the winner in a final in injury time or get Mancini the sack.

[Longball]

ill put it this way- id play for City for nothin, he is on 150K plus

Balo and Dzeko or Suarez and Caroll?

I have a friend that lives in Milan. He told me that apparently, Mario was at Inter-Genoa game. 90 % of the game the inter fans were chanting songs about Mario's mum, the only time they stopped was when Inter scored. But after a thew seconds they started again.
After the game, Inter was fined. So hopefully, the lad won't drive us mad, like he did with the italians.

He's a prick, thinks he's the dogs but has proved fuck all up to now!
The kick out at the Kiev defender and the was something you expect from a bad tempered teenager......oh wait...

Can't stand the cunt.

Every person who has slagged him off on this thread has been noted, when he is on form i will be checking to see how fickle some of you really are.

[colonel_muck]

i've stood up for him because i think strictly as a player he gets overlooked by the rest of our team. but it's getting harder and harder to defend him solely as a player. his passing was terrible tonight, and it doesn't help that his body language is so negative. more concerned with being a kooky character than a great footballer.

tevez and dzeko is the obvious answer !

Ooooohh i've been noted.....will I be on report

[MaineRoadMemories]

Mancini, Platt and Kidd looked so confused when they realised we only had 10 out for the start of the second half.

Just a guess but I reckon Balotelli said he wanted to come off at half time, Mancini said no; therefore Balotelli made a little protest stance to get his point across in public and make the coaches look foolish.

I dont think anyone doubts the fact that he is talented and can score goals.

But as a city fan can you really say his attitude doesnt piss you off? That what he did tonight wasnt out of order?

Would you defend that attitude from Jo?

He is a fucking disgrace, he can be a mard arse as much as he wants apart for 180 minutes a week, is that too much to ask?

[Blue2]

He still played better than Dzeko whilst he was on the pitch. Prick - yes no doubt.

[symiblue]

According to the BBC - Mario's face was swollen as he's allergic to certain types of grass - useful.

That wouldn't be such a problem if football wasn't played on grass.

Wouldn't it have been a good idea to test him for it if they already know that, or is that too much to ask?

[dick dastardley]

both forwards last night were shite one reason we coundnt hit cows arse, as for fuckin yaya shitepants totally non existent whatsoever

Hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good witch hunt!

[Green & Blue]

The stick Mario is recieving on here is verging on ridiculous at this stage.

Taken from espn.

Roberto Mancini has confirmed that striker Mario Balotelli suffered an allergic reaction during Manchester City's 2-0 defeat to Dynamo Kiev.

Balotelli was given an antihistamine injection during half-time after his face swelled up, and was eventually taken off shortly before the hour mark in some discomfort.

He was constantly rubbing his face and is believed to be allergic to certain kinds of grass.

"Mario had an allergy, I don't know what, his face was swollen, I don't know why," Mancini said. "He wanted to play in the second half but he had this problem 10 seconds before coming out.

"I came out a minute before the players and I didn't see Mario. He then said he could play but his face was swollen."

Mancini is yet to confirm whether Balotelli will be in contention to face Reading in the FA Cup on Saturday.

You godda laugh!

So it may as well be me.

MANCINI OUT if you please.




This is the most dreadful, boring football I've seen since Pearce.
In fact, given the money spent on what we all believe to be class players, it's worse.

Who's with me?

:(

agreed. the football is shocking/ the tactics bewildering . they play 10 behind thew ball and when we attack we still have 6 or 7 behind the ball.

Im with you.

Im stunned at how shit it is. We just dont want to go forward. I don't blame Tevez for shooting on sight. Mancini should of gone when he failed at the end of last season.

Disappointed twice: as a Citizen and of course as an Italian! Dear Mancio, it's time you leave Eastlands because you'll never understand what is Manchester City! Martin O'Neill, we're waiting for you as soon as possible!

I'd fuck him off while we're still in fourth. The way things are going we'll be out of the top six by Christmas and the slide is on.

We can still salvage it now.

A talking monkey would be more creative... fuck off Roberto, I am over you.

Well let me tell you, I'd prefer to see Sam fucking Allardyce in charge right at this moment - that's how bad it's getting and you all need to wake up to it.

He has put all his eggs in one basket(Balotelli) and that is the problem.

I think right now, I'd take anybody rather than him.

Apologies, I'm a City fan and the way Mancio turned us into a Div 2 team after the goal showed he asn't got to grips with the needs of the top flight; trying to bring it down to his level.

It won't work!

It makes me laugh when you talk about yaya toure, the guy has never been attacked minded in his life, he is a defensive midfelder who can actually play football.

Im sorry to say it but we have bought too many midfield players that are defensive minded, play them all together and you willl get a boring game.

You godda laugh!
