Mancini - Balotelli

[MSP]

Balotelli is idiot. Looking at his past, childhood etc. it happens, some of guys with such history finish much worse than him. What made me mad many times here is people talking he is some fu'kin' legend and Messiah.

But Mancini is **** of the highest order. Blaming Mario now after the match like my dad was the one who stuck with him for years and spread stories about new Pele raising in front of our eyes, and not Mancini himself.

Blaming Mario after the game where anyone with half-functional brain could see what would happen after 15-20 minutes and yet kept him in the game until he finally got sent.

Complete woman of a man.

Complete woman of a man?????

Exactly :)

Was Mario Sticking Up For Yaya?

Why did Mario 'retaliates' against Alex Song?

For his foul on Yaya?

Mancini: Balotelli could be sold

Roberto Mancini says he will "probably'' sell Mario Balotelli this summer after the controversial striker was sent off in Manchester City's Premier League defeat at Arsenal that signalled a virtual end to their title challenge.

Mancini also appeared to suggest Balotelli would not play again for him this season, although the club later claimed he said that because he expected the Football Association to throw the book at the controversial 21-year-old.

Balotelli will serve a ban of at least three matches after his sending off in this Sunday's 1-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium and Mancini seemed to call on the FA to take further action against his own player for a knee-high challenge on Alex Song that went unpunished.

Asked for how long he he could put up with Balotelli's antics, Mancini said: "I am finished. We have six games and he will not play in the next six games.''

Pushed further on whether he would try to sell Balotelli at the end of the season, Mancini replied: "Probably - but I don't know. It depends, because Balotelli is a fantastic player.

"I can continue to play with Mario on the pitch. Every time, we risk one sent off, like today. But he can score also in the last minute.''

Asked if the authorities should examine the incident with Song that referee Martin Atkinson and assistant Peter Kirkup took no action over, Mancini said "I hope so'' and admitted the striker deserved a lengthy ban.

Mancini insisted he kept Balotelli on the pitch because he did not see the tackle on Song until after the game and defended his decision not to substitute him even after he had been booked for another bad challenge on Bacary Sagna.

Mancini, who has known Balotelli since the forward was 17, added: "I love him as a guy, I love him as a player, because I know him. He's not a bad guy. He's a fantastic player.

"But, at this moment, I'm very sorry for him because he continues to lose his talent, his quality. I hope, for him, that he can understand that he's in a bad way for his future, and he can change his behaviour.''

Mancini had said before the game that if Manchester United were to beat QPR and his side lost at Arsenal the title race would be over, but after their 1-0 defeat at the Emirates the Italian said City will keep on fighting.

When asked if the championship was gone: "No, it's not mathematically (over), but it's clear now that it's very difficult. We have a game in three days and we will try to win. Never say never in football.

He added on Sky Sports: "In life until it's over you should do your best. In the end if we don't win it's probably because they (United) did better than us. It's clearly difficult (to lift the players) but we play in three days and this is good.

"We are a professional team, with professional players. It's important we start to win and finish the championship well.''

Arsenal had the better of the chances and hit the woodwork three times before Mikel Arteta's 87th-minute winner. The victory lifted Arsene Wenger's men up to third spot in the table, two points ahead of Spurs and five clear of Chelsea and Newcastle in fifth and sixth.

Arteta said: "I think we were the better team over the whole game, we had the most chances. We scored at the end and for us it's a massive game.

"It was so important, Chelsea won yesterday, Newcastle have been very consistent in the last few games, Tottenham are still in there and it's going to be a big fight from here to the end of the season, but we knew that today was one of the more difficult games for us.

"There was a lot to play for (for both teams). For them it was massive, because now it will be really tough for them to catch Man U and for us if we lost today we would have two teams two points behind us with six games to go. We are so happy.''

When he says Balotelli won't play for the next six games, he cleared that up later on in the interview and said that was because he expected the FA to charge him for the tackle on Song, which would mean a five game ban in addition to the ban he will get for the red.

Put what away? It was bad tackle but I do not think Mario goes out trying to hurt players its just he tries too hard. He seems to put so much pressure on himself it doesnt help when everything you do is deemed intentional.

I'm sure you'll work it out, you're wumming, nothing more nothing less, and if you seriously think he was "trying to hard" then you are one deluded idiot, in my opinion. It was potentially career ending as well you know, luckily for Mario it didn't end up that way.

No wum here I have defended Balotelli since he signed and you look at my post history I have threads to prove it. Its not fair that because my opinion differs from that of most I should be attacked for it.

The tackle was bad but players get away with these things Mario is crucified for being Mario. I do not think he intended to hurt the player and please stop accusing me of being on the wind up when my stance has always been the same regarding Mario.

You are "defending" the indefensible, it makes you look like a dick, but actually you are being a deliberate troll on the subject, and you know you are. It doesn't matter whether you have always defended him or not, so have I, but acting a dick is all you are doing in this thread, so I will accuse you of it, its not like you don't have history for doing so.

Because he hasn't developed the right attitude required of a professional footballer.

If Song fouls Yaya, that is not Balotelli's problem. His problem is that City are not playing well, and he needs to focus on playing and playing well - a large part of that is staying on the pitch for
90 minutes.

if rumours are true about the bust up between Kompany and Balotelli, the two italians must go.

Thats completely unfair everyone has a right to defend what they feel is right. The tackle was bad and Mario needs to control himself but that does not mean he deserves blame for losing the title and for everyones bad performance. And accusing me of trolling before proves my point because Mario too gets accused of this because of his "past history" when one has nothing to do with the other. I think you should allow people to present how they feel and not accuse them of trolling simply because you disagree.

I want him to learn and improve and I do not think selling him is the answer. I will defend him when he is being blamed for everything that happened as he was not at fault.

Some people have blue glasses

Mancini has lost it for us no ifs or buts, its his player he hjas brought to the club for big money that has cost us.

Hart Kompany Zabaletta Lescott De jong Richards all before him have done very well

His players are a joke

Dzeko Balotelli Augero Johnson Kolarov Nasri Clichy all a joke

Wake up and see it for what it is he has to go Mancini

The moment i read the name Aguero i knew you were on the wind up. FUCK OFF.
