Balotelli's Attitude

[Ted Hughes]

Hahahaha.

Yes mate pefectly clear!

You don't post under another name on here as well do you by any chance ? The style of quoting is familiar. I just can't quite put my finger on it....

Oh come on...

First writing that your laughing with several haha:s... evereyone knows that's desperate. And then doing the "I think you are someone else" but not saying who you think it is in case you are wrong and looks stupid. The oldest (and lamest) trick in the book and btw only applicable if there's a large crowd following the discussion who agrees with you. In this case that does not seem to be the case. Desperate Ted. You're better than that. It's about time you lost a discussion. It happens to everyone. Nothing wrong with that.

he loses plenty,
having the last word on a dead argument is not the same as winning it

Who, Balotelli ? No ? You have no opinion on that then ?

Oh you're talking about me ? Great. Why not form a little club ?

[Ted Hughes]

I was going to post I felt Mario was hard done by but I didn't bring my handbag, ah fuck it I'll carry on without it.

As the thread is entitled 'Balotelli's attitude' I will discuss that. I thought when he came on to the pitch his attitude was wrong. Petulant Mario ( or Wario if you prefer ) from last season was back on show. He deserved his first yellow no doubt whatsoever but that secnod yellow was just fucking farcical.

But let's not get carried away here. The fact is Mario has shown terrific improvement in terms of attitude and maturity so far this season, let's not let one bad day be what we are basing our entire judgement on.

I may be wrong here but it seems some people are waiting for him to slip up just so they can say 'I told you so'. He's been fantastic for us this season,

This post is not aimed at anyone in particular, it's just a general observation.

Well just in case anyone wants to put me in that bracket, I'm on completely the opposite side. My concerns for Balotelli are that he doesn't reach his potential at City because of the other side of his character. Imo, the bloke who was running around the pitch at anfield, is not the cool customer who slotted in the opening goal at OT. Both are big games but in one he was completely in control, the other he wasn't in control at all.

The cool Balotelli at OT is possibly the only player in the league who would have scored that goal. That's the player which will win us trophies. The other version would end up out of the club.

What do you mean by "make something"?

Your point about getting two yellows in 25 is irrelevant when one of them yellows is the result of a farcical decision. Do we expect our players not to challenge for the ball when they've already been booked?

That's fine mate, we can agree to disagree.

I'd still like to know what you mean by "make something" in your initial post.

I think he just means do something a bit iffy.

Mate, I think he means he will find a way of doing something stupid.

If you need anyone to elaborate on that then you havent been watching Mario Balotelli since he joined City.

Has that been the case this season mate?

Why the need for the remark about watching Balotelli?, of course I've been watching him.

[Mase]

i'm not sure how anyone could have watched Balo's antics and not felt like he had a pretty good chance to get sent off based on how he was acting.

Mate, I was watching that match thinking ANY of our players could have been sent off at any minute. I thought Kompany would be to be honest.

Yea baut before the season he make back heel against somwone in america like relly unprefesinal move that pist off Bob and he has strange atitude in games i m just saying any other player would be more careful after one card and knowing how much Atkinson love to give cards and yas he is more mature but he burn hes flat ffs he need to be relly cool on games just to take out that bad boy image, that will be bether for him and club ...

[Mase]

I reckon Balotelli would beat you all up in real life! So there! Nuuurrrrrr!

i agree with that :)

[Yffi_88]

It was a daft sending off - although the second yellow wasnt a great decision it was clear he was probably a bit too fired up/excited when he came on. I dont mind players who really fight to make an impact, i think Balo's decisions on how he went about making that impact on Sunday were just a bit shit.

He's still the same player he was against United; in my opinion. He's been a million miles better than he was when he joined, he's scoring goals, looking like he wants to be part of the team, he makes the ticket money worth it on his own and i think that he's just going to keep improving.

Sunday was nothing more than a stumble for him. He was everyone's favourite dickhead last weekend, and one shirt-tug and a mis-timed-jump later there's people who arent happy again. Its not like he's spat at anyone, or punched someone off the ball, he got a bit excited in front of a referee who seems to be on a red card quota for the season.

The point I'm trying to make is that there has been a marked improvement in his attitude and professionalism since the season began. He was left sitting on the bench at the start of the season and when he got his chance he grasped it and has played dome fantastic stuff this season. This is a far cry from what we saw from him last season.

I wasn't impressed with his petulant attitude on Sunday, his first yellow was stupid on his part. But I'm not going to let that cloud my overall opinion of him because I believe he has shown signs that he is on the right track.

As for burning his flat, I couldn't give a shit whether any of that tabloid bollox is true or not. It has nothing got to do with City, so it's no concern to me.

[Arjan Van Schotte]

i like him, think his positives outweigh the negatives. he's been much improved this season - reckon he'll finish up top scorer tbh.

i agree he is bether but that is only becose manchini put so much presure on him to let go the stupid stuf , but i think to be at his best need to cool off more and to change hes crazy image becose in modern football that is not tolerated brfore maybe now u get card for nothing like second one on sunday just arm a litlle to high ...
