Think Balotelli might just have played his part in winning that championship we have.
Its not often I agree with Skashion but some of the Mario haters on here need to take off there hate specs and cut Mario some slack. Without his pass to Kun we would not have won the leauge.
Nobody hates him, just you've got to laugh at the number of people who seem to place more importance on Mario's pass than they do on anything else that happened in that match.
I'm a self confessed Mario fanboy. I was more excited by his signing than by even that of Aguero. He has it in him to be the absolute best in the world. Reading back on what I posted yesterday I can see it was a bit harsh, but the point I was trying to make stands. We don't need the tabloid attention Mario brings for off field stuff, we need the attention he brings when he's killing it on the field like he did at $old Trafford last season.
He has in various stages of his life been a victim. A victim of circumstance, a victim of his ability, a victim of the tiny minority of idiot supporters in Italy who have hounded him throughout his career because of his skin colour. He deserves to be cut some slack because of all those things and his tender years, and I don't know a City supporter out there who doesn't want him to achieve it all with us. He just needs to mature enough both on the field and off it to realise that everyone around him and at the club just want what's best for him.
