Bye bye mario

[Blueonblue]

How soon people forget the pleasures Mario brought to us.........

Surrounded by rags going ape shit, yet with a big daft grin and a wink he sent them off on a whole new level as camel gobs eyes popped out of his f*ck ugly face .
A simple goal wearing a tee shirt with three words on it echoed around the world.
Who else could score with a tap in but make it iconic by just a look while using his shoulder.
Penalty's became a memorable occasion.
His interview after the title winning game, "Its better this way because it made united suffer".

He scored great goals and set up some great goals, he was a flawed genius that put the fear of god into teams, a super star who shagged models not grannies while wearing Armani rather than matalan.

So remember what he gave us, the smiles he put on City supporters faces as an important part of the team that brought us three trophies after many years of nothing, he goes to his boyhood team with my best wishes............Thanks Mario.

"For sure I will remember my brilliant team-mates, the manager and all the supporters," he told City's website. "They are the best, they were great with me and I will always have a very special place in my heart for City, it's a great club with a great future.

"I thank them for all of their support of me. Maybe one day we will see each other again.

"I think to win the Premier League was a very special moment, and I am proud to have been a part of that."


Good lad

Shame on the doubters.

Yeah right.

Played his part in the setting up of the FA Cup winning goal too.

Just because someone doesn't get a final touch before the goalscorer doesn't mean that they didn't assist.

That stat that is doing the rounds about 1 assist since he's been at City is bollox.

He has 8 in all.

Good post Blueonblue.

Mario Balotelli admits that leaving City was an emotional wrench but has vowed never to forget his time with the Blues.

After signing for Milan the Italian striker spoke candidly about his last day as a Premier League player, his relationship with Roberto Mancini and his love for "the best fans in England".

“For sure I will remember my brilliant team-mates, the manager and all the supporters. They are the best, they were great with me and I will always have a very special place in my heart for City, it’s a great club with a great future,” he declared. “I thank them for all of their support of me. Maybe one day we will see each other again.

"I think to win the Premier League was a very special moment, and I am proud to have been a part of that.

[highlight]"And the 6-1 win at Old Trafford was
also a big moment in my life. I know
what that meant to the supporters, the
joy it gave them. To have scored in
that game and been part of that
history will always live with me.”[/highlight]
...Mario Balotelli...

Balotelli said goodbye to his teammates at the pre-match dinner in the hotel ahead of the 0-0 draw at QPR and admitted it had been a poignant moment.

“Yes, I said goodbye to everyone at the meal in London before the game at Queens Park Rangers. It was a very emotional for me,” he said

“I spoke with Roberto before I went to speak to the players. We spoke for some time about lots of things. He was sad, and I was too. But it was a good conversation. I love Roberto, he has been very important for my career, and I will always thank him for having trust and faith in me.

“Being at City was an important part of my life and career. I needed to grow up like a player and as a person and it has been a very good experience for me.

As Balotelli touched down to join Nigel de Jong at the San Siro, he paid tribute to the City supporters for making him feel so welcome at the Etihad Stadium.

“I will remember, too, the song that City fans had for me. It was special for me and I always liked to hear it. I hope they can still sing it sometimes still, even if I’m not there. Someone told me the fans sang it at QPR; that is nice.
"I love the fans at Manchester City;
they are the best in England, maybe
the world.”

...Mario Balotelli...

“I will always be interested in Manchester City and their fortunes. I really hope that City can win the league again this year and beat United. I think there are great players at the Club and a great manager too. The club will be very successful in the future and that makes me happy.”

Roberto Mancini admitted that the 22-year old will be missed and wished him all the best in this new chapter of his career.

“With Mario we won the FA Cup, we won the Premier League and the Community Shield," Mancini said.

"I thank Mario for all his contribution to
this team, I think he’s an important
player for the history of this club."
...Roberto Mancini...

“We are very sorry for him because he leaves the club but we hope Mario can continue to improve and continues to work hard because he is a top, top player.”

Good post Blueonblue.

I posted his stats for the last two seasons in another thread, they're on the ESPN stats site. It basically points to him being a greedy fucler.

One in the league. None this season.

[Dameerto]

In the three seasons he was with us, he got no assists in his first season, two in his second, and two this season (figures are for all competitions) so four assists while he's been with us according to ESPN.

Well the two this season must have been v Villa in the League Cup as he has 0 in the League & 0 in the FA Cup, unless they count a rebound as an assist.

I can't remember what happened v Villa, I know he scored & played ok.

I missed that game so I don't know, a few people were saying he did ok without much service, but the papers slaughtered him (as they probably would if he'd got a hattrick).

Some do count a rebound as an assist. Others count a penalty won as an assist if the penalty is scored.

I guess it's all open to interpretation, for example Dzeko was credited with an assist for miscontrolling the ball that trickled through to Zaba to score the winner at Stoke.

I think he's done ok most times he's played this season, but his actual contribution is close to zero & if we hadn't let him go now, we would have had a full season of Milan bullshit next season, ending with him going there for £10 mil next Christmas or at the end. As soon as the baby appeared, I said on here, it wouldn't be long. He has always wanted to go there & that tips the scales.

Maybe he will grow up & come back later in his career, to prove a point.

[usedtothespin]

Well, it was eventful and - at times brilliant. Will always have an important place in City history. Sadly, he's a bit of a loose cannon when it comes to his personal life. Will make a good biography one day. All the best to him. We just need to forget his last season.

[littlebig]

Good to hear him speak so graciously of City, the fans, Roberto. HE sounded sincere.

If Agueros form continues and his personal life goes down the tubes due to his ex fucking off, he will be next to go.

You heard it here first.

Nope, I heard it in Chinners' Bollox first.
