Common sense squarely applied (its quite liberating when you try it)tells me he's a fishy ****.

Common sense tells me you sound paranoid.

I guess I'm just naive.

Personally I will give him one more season. He has shown moments of class to give him another chance at our club.

yep, needs to mature a bit obviously lol

yep A few more lessons on firework safety.<br /><br />-- Mon May 07, 2012 1:53 am --<br /><br />

Thing is he is class (but when he wants to be!) The media will never ever leave him alone here, and he plays right into their hands every week near enough! I wish he could sort himself out and just concentrate on what he is paid to do (without being a reckless clown).
Love him or hate him, he is our Mad Mario.

That is where Bobby will come into. The last few weeks our Manager has played a blinder (admittedly we have not won the title yet) with the media.

Excuse me, but who led the line superbly on many occasions so City actually were in the position being +5 of Manchester United?

Have you already forgotten all his fabulous goals and plays that contributed to this sensational season from Manchester City?

Granted, he had a dip in form in the spring and then got sent off immaturely, but it's no tragedy like you make it out to be.

Just think about the great Zabaleta, that until very recently was a yellow/red card just waiting to happen, and then went past that stage, and now he is considered Mr Reliable.

All talk about loaning him out is nonsense - this is Balotelli's curriculum:

Internazionale
Serie A (3): 2007–08, 2008–09, 2009–10
Coppa Italia (1): 2009–10
Supercoppa Italiana (1): 2008
UEFA Champions League (1): 2009–10

Manchester City
FA Cup (1): 2011

Individual
Golden Boy Award (1): 2010
FA Cup Final Man of the Match: 2011

Most probably, he will also add Premier League Champion to this already extraordinary list this Sunday.

A player like this is not loaned out - either you believe in him and keep him, or you don't and sell him on.

I don't think many of you would sell him to Chelsea, Man U or Arsenal if they came knocking (don't tell me they can't afford him, you know the point I'm making).

I for one do believe in that Balotelli is a world class player and I'm sure he will make us proud on many occasions in the future.

Edit: Wanted to add that he's in the European top 10 by most goals per minute, and that he's also still 21.

Hopefully, Mario just needs to keep his head down as this aint the Mad Mario show. I've never been more confident about a player taking a penalty when he steps up to take one, when he wants to play he is awesome. But he isn't the finished article and is far from, yup only 21 and has lots to learn. The British press are absolute Tw*ts and will never leave him alone whilst he carries on acting like some superstar playboy.
I really hope Mancini can sort him out, he needs treating like a kid!

Nail on head, with evidence with the hatchet job they are about to do on Roy Hodgson.

We need more night eyes, this is when trolls sign up to gain post counts.
He was only doing his duty as an anti rag troll detector. Sensitive pieces of kit you know.

My personal aproach is to get 60% sure, then ban, if they are honest they will send you a pleading msg, if not you will see flags pop up of users trying banned ip blocks (public proxies etc).
Then you know you were right :D

Even with begging msg's you need to watch out, many trolls are very very patient as it is usually being watched by an entire other forum if the troll is good.

Beyond that dox their personal info on 4chan if you can gain axx to their facebook, linkedin etc.

I love forums, democracy means fuck all, only the site owners rules.

Bit of a patronising thread this isn't it,


I think balotelli is fine.




What happened to the TEAM guys

 

[smeghead64]

Yes we have all done things when we were 21 but....we werent playing for a team fighting for there 1st pl title in ....years and we wernt getting paid ££££ a week for the privilege. Yes he comes accross as a nice guy but he is still the biggest chance of a red card every game....

Probably a bit early for this discussion but I would be very interested to know how people are looking at Balo and his future. Like a lot of blues I was really pissed off with him after the Arsenal debacle and to be honest I briefly thought about getting rid. However I look back to some of the things I did when I was 21 and I cringe! Look up the word TWAT and it will have my name next to it.
Ive come to the conclusion that we should give him one more chance. Am I being naive?

Got himself banned twice at important stages of the league.

You consider that "fine" ?

Sorry Element mate but we disagree here bro. The team i believe is better without him going of what i have seen.

I shall though disagree with good faith :)

Never get rid of anyone which these wankers in the media tell us too,
