One thing I have noticed is while some people feel his antics are reflecting badly on the club, my son is 11 and he and his mates think he is great. My daughter who is 16 and her friends think he's great (for other reasons!) and while I know this is some of your worst nightmare but they will buy Balotelli merchandise. The boys were all trying to find the skull gloves in the winter. He is raising the clubs profile with younger people and this can only be a good thing in the long run. Like I said I know a lot of few don't appreciate these sort of fans but I think if someone can capture the youngsters attention and it draws them to City it's a good thing, the club will need the income and new fans are new fans at the end of the day.

However badly Mario has behaved at times, he is an absolute angel compared to this woman-beating scumbag and violent criminal bully:
Ravel Morrison, the Manchester United teenager tipped to become one of the pre-eminent English footballers of his generation, has been advised to seek counselling about domestic abuse after appearing in court charged with attacking his girlfriend.
Morrison denied assaulting Reah Dixon, then 16, and the case was dropped after Salford magistrates court was told she had refused to make a statement.
However, the court also heard that it was the second time the 18-year-old had been arrested for assaulting her, with another case in 2008 when she also refused to go ahead with the prosecution.
Morrison, who has represented England at every level from the under-19s to under-16s and scored twice to help United win the FA Youth Cup on Monday, also has a caution for assaulting his mother, Sharon Ryan, when he was 15.
The teenager, who now earns 3,400 pounds a month after tax, was fined 600 pounds after admitting a charge of criminal damage, having destroyed Reah's mobile phone by throwing it out of an open window during an argument at her parents' house.
The court also ordered him to pay 85 pounds costs and a £15 victim impact surcharge and the district judge, Jonathan Feinstein, said he had recommended to the Probation Service that they should advise Morrison about domestic abuse.
"Any domestic investigation and help that needs to be given can be given through the youth offending team," he told Morrison. "I'm sure you appreciate that behaviour like this is not acceptable. You're obviously someone with a considerable future and you must at all times understand that a loss of temper, no matter what the provocation, is not acceptable."
This is not the first time Morrison's behaviour has brought embarrassment on Old Trafford but the club will be relived by the verdict considering that Morrison is already the subject of a 12-month referral order after appearing at Trafford Youth Court, then aged 17, in January to admit two charges of intimidating a witness. On that occasion Morrison was warned that if he breached the order he would be sentenced to a year behind bars.
The court was told Morrison had subjected the victim of a street robbery to a two-day ordeal to try to stop him giving evidence at the trial of his muggers.
This included threatening phone calls as well as confronting the boy, with two accomplices. The three later appeared in the victim's front garden, were chased away but came back in a mob of 15 to 20 people and a brick was thrown through a window. The victim was so traumatised, the court was told his family had put the house up for sale and wanted to leave Manchester.
The latest incident occurred on 19 April, the day before Morrison helped United beat Chelsea to reach the FA Youth Cup final. The court was told he and Dixon, his girlfriend of three years, had started arguing after she looked through the messages on his mobile phone. She threw his phone to the floor and, in retaliation, he threw hers through an open window. The court was told the couple were still together and were planning a two-week holiday next month.

I've mostly enjoyed watching him so far, occasionally he's looked like he's not with us, but so has Tevez in some games. We're at a level of football now, where we don't need 11 grafters, running about like headless chickens, flair will beat graft 9 times out of 10, and City fans need to get used to the idea.
Mad/daft - no chance, he comes over to me as someone who's pretty switched on, who loves to be different, and doesn't care what people say about him.
Looks like other Blues fans also have "my eyes"
Cant disagree ref his performances in the two Wembley games,but as a seasoned pro,yes don`t let his age get into the way of a debate,he has been playing at first team level for 3 years now,its about time he grew up.

didn,t feel lucky at the time-1987-got paid on the friday,all gone on the mon.-all these years later nowts changed.
how do you spend 100k p/w..even allowing for the "harsh" tax laws...?
He's has his 1st season, and i he's shown us what he is about, a young petulant brilliant footballer, during the season there has been signs of maturity, getting clattered and just getting up, ok the stare is there but early on in the season he'd throw a strop and count himself out of the game. If we can bring on his maturity much like has done with Micah then I believe we will have 1 of the best players around, he's shown glimpses of a great footballer but if he can man the fuck up on the pitch them glimpses will become the norm.
