Loved him for (in no special order) his pass to Aguero, his help for the cats after the fire, his penalties, his t-shirt, the wink at Ferdinand at Wembley: all signs of his talent, his eccentricity and his good heart.

If this story was true, also shows what a good heart the man has in him. I'd heard about it years ago and never found out if it was urban legend. I do like to think it is true.Loved him for (in no special order) his pass to Aguero, his help for the cats after the fire, his penalties, his t-shirt, the wink at Ferdinand at Wembley: all signs of his talent, his eccentricity and his good heart.

If my life depended on a penalty I would want mad Mario to take it
Whatever happened to "A postman doesn’t celebrate when he delivers a letter"?
How times change.
I think the difference is it would be dark before the Postie finished his round.

He's missed some since he left. I'd go for Yaya, still a perfect record.If my life depended on a penalty I would want mad Mario to take it

Not really sure - however I can guarantee that whatever time of year it is you will be wearing shorts........
I usually wear trousers from the end of November until early March.
However, with the unseasonably warm weather last week, I’m already back in my shorts.
Several of my colleagues do wear shorts all year round, though.

Yep.
With Yaya as back-up.

amazing how Balotelli gets loads of negative coverage for his goal celebration and Liverpool's Firminio has a pic taken with a baby during the game v Everton while sat with teammates gets no mention anywhere.

Didn't both he and Yaya never miss a pen for us? I could be wrong but I thought Balotelli had a perfect record from the penalty spot until we sold him to Milan
