Baaaaaa!

Save those. And when a thread gets started in a couple of years, similar to the one that's been started about Meeks, you can blast them out!

Well that's what I'm talking about.

The idea that he did more running for Italy than he's done for City this season, is just bollocks.

People are just choosing to believe that.

I think this is going to divide opinion.
I for one have never been impressed with his work rate or energy for the club. Maybe I'm an old fashioned fan, but I expect more from a player of his talent and ability.
The walking down the tunnel doesn't bother me, I'm quite happy he doesn't like being taken off, but he has to do a lot more on the pitch.
7 games in and not a single goal thus far.

It looks like shiite walking down the tunnel. Look at that pic, the players are done with him....he has talent...but no brain...no understanding of what it means to be a pro. He walks around on the pitch...he is lazy, and a general wanker. When he is gone for good...we will be better off. I thank him for the pass to Aguero last year, but other than that.....cant wait for him to leave.

Some horrid stuff being said in this thread. Almost as bad as the Yaya one. Mario is a hero for me and all you slating him can fuck off. Is he perfect? no. But is he great and unique? yes. Get behind your team ffs

Admittedly, I have had my say on Mario and not usually in the positive, however, he does seem to have grown a little and that's what I want to see. Walking down the tunnel is neither here nor there for me but I do wonder what his team mates were thinking when he didn't sit down next to them?

On another note, I can understand why he was allowed back to Italy and how Mancini didn't make much of his actions. The lad has things to sort out and Mancini, who has previous for looking after certain players, rightly allowed him to do so.

He's a City player, and whilst he's on that pitch I'm 100% behind him. It doesn't mean I'm not entitled to debate his virtues though.
