Balotelli (continued)

[sam-caddick]

He is...STAYING :) Get in!

I wouldn't put your money on it.

I can only think of two matches in which he has been a major benefit and not a complete liability.

FA cup Final, and the 6-1.

That's a lot of fucking money for two results, results which could have come from someone a lot more consistent.

There have been many more than two performances, he's scored 30 goals for us.

Maybe part of the problem is that people are very keen to look for the bad, not do keen to acknowledge when he does good.

He Did Score that last minute penalty Vs Spurs and Assisted Aguero for that goal last season. both Major parts of us winning the league

I'm pretty sure the ball to Aguero v QPR was a major benefit.

and two goals against wba before harshly being sent off

He Did Score that last minute penalty Vs Spurs and Assisted Aguero for that goal last season. both Major parts of us winning the league

and two goals against wba before harshly being sent off

And the opening goal against Everton

But why let facts get in the way of hyperbole? or should that be vitriol?

I think Mancini being his mentor/manager was the worst possible scenario for his development. Having no real consequences and a situation of tens of millions of dollars in compensation just reinforces his behavior. The twat needs to play under a manager that is willing to kick his fucking head in, or make sure its a choice between growing up or ending his young career.

You know he lead the line against United in the FA Cup semi final too? Despite intense antagonism, Balotelli put in an amazing shift and mature performance that day. That's now three performances, each of which were critical to winning our only meaningful silverware since 1976. Even assuming that you don't count multiple other great games.

Too many people see everything through the lens of the decision they have already made.

Vitriol. Definitely vitriol.

Understand he will be starting today.

Understand he will be starting today.

If he does start then I'm going to stick money on him being sent off.
