England V Italy, Quarter Final 2012 (merged)

Re: England and Italy - quick straw poll.

See my edited comment.

I think your edited comment is even worse and way off the mark. Do you honestly think we would have pulled off the last 6 games of the season if our players didn't give a toss about each other or have respect ? Trust is the basis of any good solid team and I certainly would lose respect for any of of players who tried to get a fellow team mate sent off. I like to see gentlement letting their skills and determination win football matches and not their mouths. You're entitled to feel that way pige but I can't agree with you this time

Fair do's my friend, it is all about opinions of course.

I still love you though

You obviously misread. I said many would have a problem with Hart or Lescott for letting the cat out of the bag on how easy it is, (if indeed it is), to wind up Balotelli. Point being people seem obsessed about wanting to pull Balotelli's todger.
Tonight, for me, Balotelli is a fucking idiot and I hope he gets sent off. Why? Because it will benefit England and it has rock all to do with anything else except just that. Then, tomorrow, i'll look forward to him knocking in a bag full next season.

You do have to wonder exactly how much you can really support a player if you can immediately turn it off and call him a fucking idiot when it suits you.

To be honest Pidge, you're full of shit here for several reasons, mainly because you are placing England on the same level of importance as City in one breath and then slagging off others who do the same. It's as tiresome as your agenda posts, like talking to the Red Dwarf Toaster

It suits because tonight he plays for the team England are striving to beat and if he gets sent off it makes that progression easier.
Tell me how, and who, i've slagged anyone off. Have I said 'you're **** for not wanting England to progress'? No.

It's simple really. Are City and England the same type of passion in you?

For most of us, they aren't. City as a club and a community represent me and my heritage. The England team represent nothing to me. Due to this, we want the thing that benefits our club side the most to happen. Balotelli needs a big tournament to get the boo boys off his back (which I do understand that you are not part of), and earn the respect that he deserves from the general footballing public. We want him to do this because we all want a special player at the club and Balotelli can be this, so we are pulling for him to make a big impression more than we are others who are not on the verge of greatness such as Milner.

Due to us having 2 majorly key players in the England first eleven, it benefits City the most over the course of the next year to get them on their holidays as soon as possible. I also want Spain out for the same reason. In Balotelli's position, we have Tevez, Aguero and Dzeko who can rotate to help his fitness as they have not been as a major international tournament this summer. At centre back and goalkeeper, we are short and cannot afford one of them to break their leg..

Lescott and Hart are players who do not generate the same level of split that Balotelli does. Lescott should be England's next rock and Hart is already number one for the next year no matter what happens today. They do not need the performance like Balotelli does and they would go back to City blaming underperformance on whatever the media decides to blame it on. Italians will slate Balo is he has a bad game and it will ruin him for another six months.

It really is pretty simple. I want England out at the expense of a great Balotelli performance as it is the scenario which benefits City the most. I care about City as a club and as a community that I am a part of and represents me, whereas England National Team are a bunch of cunts who live in ivory towers and in no way represent the populace.

I don't care about England, I care about City. The above scenario represents the maximum possible benefit to City.

Fucking media love to play judge and jury with Mario. What the fuck would the wankers talk about if he wasn't there?

and Shearer....did he just say Mario's not won anything yet???!!

 

[Pigeonho]

All i'll say to that is 'a Serie A, Champions League, FA Cup and Premier League'. That's what he's done in the game, Shearer. See Dam, i'll defend him when they're talking club football, which they were.

No though, I hope he does something stupid and gets sent off tonight.

Football. You cannot beat it.
