Pauly, I've had to set up a new account cos I lost the details for the last one so if you could post the league code for LF when you have it, that'd be great.

I dunno if its worth bothering seeing as bertrand seems to sweep us all up every time. I reckon he has pictures of all the head honchos at the FA and he only keeps them under wraps if he's guarenteed to win the fantasy league year on year

Can never tell if I love Balotelli or hate him. Right now I love him but he's undoubtedly an utter wanker.

[chicka]

I would cut his ass and eat his contract before I'd put up with his shit. He is one for all and all for me his head is never in the game. He takes stupid fouls. Sure he's big fast and has a great shot when he feels like it problem is he never feels like it.

ok Paul I sent you a request on facebook I am also known as Mike Childs.

Mancini is in a real situation. If he sells Balotelli (undoubtedly at a loss) questions will certainly be raised regarding his dealings in the transfer market (his other 'big' signing, Dzeko, although by no means a diaster, hasn't been the massive success Mancini hoped for, either) but how long can he continue to be embarrassed by Balotelli in this way?

Man City have a real problem this season in that, of the three forwards they have, one is yet to really find his form (Dzeko), one wants out (Tevez) and the other is a loose cannon (Balotelli). The owners have the money and probably need to spend uber bucks on two top name replacements but will they trust Mancini to spend it? I know I wouldn't.

Tevez hasn't left and one thing you can count on with him is he won't embarrass himself or the team out there and I thought that Dzeko start to come on late in the year. Maybe he was hurting earlier or having a hard time catching on to Mancini's system. I'd give him a chance or anyone else before I'd let Mario on the pitch again.

Brave Mario took it from Emirati player Theyab Awana, who tried and did mock a goalkeeper scoring from the spot.
His coach replaced him too.

I love Balotelli, he's had a tough life (til he became a multimillionaire, obviously). You can tell he has the emotional maturity of a 12 year old, and i mean that literally, he flounces around as though the hormones have just got started. But he does seem to have his heart in the right place and i hope he makes a success of himself, he's one of the few top level European players who's had to deal with really heavy racism as well

[Bertrand]

Yep, he's behaved strangely on the good side of things.

INTERESTING!

I reckon that incident made the kids life worse rather than better, but it shows the guy has a heart even if he doesnt have much good judgement

fuckin shit, nobody here watched the Copa América?

you missed the fun of seeing Argentina get spanked while being host to the tournament.

With most other teams I'd agree but the pressure on Mancini this season is immense and I look at that Man City team as is and they just don't look strong enough. I'd agree with you about Dzeko but think Tevez, so long as he remains a puppet for his agent, is becoming untennable for any club with serious ambitions for the future. He maybe hard working and talented but he's never at a club long enough for them to build around him. Balotelli is clearly a disasterous signing. I love the whole circus around him but I'm sure most Man City fans just want him gone. There is something strangely compelling about him, though. A strange blissfull tranguility while everything's going mental around him.

There was an interview on the radio today with someone who works at Man City who described Balotelli as completely unmanagable. I wouldn't want him fucking things up for my team but from the outside looking in he's brilliant entertainment, especially compared with the ultra media groomed bores who now dominate the prem. Could you imagine Steven Gerrard wearing a glove hat? No.

I kept up with the results but never saw any actual games. I was really glad Uruguay won, if only because of my undying love for all things Suarez.


Anyway, some more classic Mario:

that makes two of us. My favorite player in the world.

I do agree that Mario is highly entertaining and I would miss him. As a coach or a player I wouldn't want this guy on my team no matter what. I'm sure he's had a tough life and done some great things off the pitch but on it he's a nightmare and a disaster waiting to happen.

Big news today is that Man City has just signed Sergio Aguero to replace Tevez

Wonderful.
The comments are cool, the way they hesitate before chuckling.

Absolutely love him, although my favourite player right now is probably Xavi, but it seems almost silly mentioning a Barcelona player at the moment.

I don;t know much about Aguero but I think a replacement was needed for Tevez even if he did decide to stay. Like all clubs, Man City need stability and regardless of what he did on the pitch, that's one thing Tevez could never offer.

my favorite player from Barcelona is Andres Iniesta.
