the life and times of super mario balotelli

The Italian was speaking after being named the best young player in Europe and winning the Golden Boy trophy, organised by the Turin newspaper Tuttosport and voted for by European journalists to honour the most talented player under the age of 21. The 20-year-old beat the 18-year-old Wilshere into second place, before claiming that he did not know who the Arsenal midfielder is.

"What's his name? Wil ... ? No, I don't know him, but the next time I play against Arsenal I will keep a close eye on him," Balotelli said. "Perhaps I can show him the Golden Boy trophy and remind him that I won it."

The Italian then had a dig at previous winners of the award, including Arsenal's Fábregas, Manchester United's Rooney and Rafael van der Vaart, now with Tottenham, insisting only a single past recipient could claim to be a better player than him. "There's only one that is a little stronger than me: Messi. All the others are behind me."

never change

seems like u have been talking about this in t'other thread

how balotelli didn't get his own damned thread til now i'll never know

rip big man

he's an entertaining dickhead. No drogba tho

a lot more naturally gifted than him, in both footballing and choad terms

what mario balotelli is, is a successful scientific experiment to breed dom passantino's favourite possible footballer

<3 this guy. Has the potential to out-do Cassano.

it'd be awesome if he made it to Ballon d'Or level while remaining such a spectacular dick. Football needs its Triple H-esque dominant heel.

trolling cunts like rooney is to be commended but messi 'a little better' is rmde

what the fuck jack black gulliver

sorry, that couldnt wait

been moaning about it for a month but fuck it I don't think it will stop Jack Black fans from enjoying Swift's wild satire and contempt for the Enlightenment

the three vital words in that sentence begin with the word 'stop'

wtf yall

looking forward to seeing cartoon Mario in the next season of Phineas and Ferb.

pro tip

don't get italian ppl to do yr website

the lips are somewhat o_O

would make a kickass bottleopener

laziest hat-trick ever

tbrr if i was a professional footballer i'd pretty much retire after that, how could u improve on such a feat

http://i.imgur.com/XYKIm.jpg

this is about as happy as he gets

did we cover this anywhere? http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3331393/Mario-Balotellis-hat-trick-with-the-ladies.html LAD. (would be better as a couple of twitter screencaps rather than a full superfluous article.)

Mario Balotelli looks like he has demons all around him and his body language is a bad role model for children

And the supremely confident ex-Inter Milan youngster took aim at the misfiring United marksman, stating Rooney is not the best forward in town anymore, suggesting United fans would love to have him in their side.

‘Do United fans insult me?’ said Balotelli. ‘No, they stop me in the street and say "Mario, come to us."

‘He [Rooney] is a very good player but not the best in Manchester.

‘Our attack of Balotelli-Tevez-Dzeko is the best in the world - better even than Barcelona and Real Madrid. We are the strongest and we can win things now - we just lack conviction.’

its the last bit that makes it

Love it. Keep burnishing that ego, bootlicking United fans.

Our attack of Balotelli-Tevez-Dzeko is the best in the world - better even than Barcelona and Real Madrid.

When he's fit this is probs true

have u lent yr password to a hoy hoy?

ummm pedro-villa-messi higuain-ronaldo

kinda bored by this latest team-oriented trolling

when it's just about himself it's cool, but this reads too much like he's tryna ingratiate himself with citeh fans

nah i read it as being about himself, like those quotes make me think Rooney is just a name he Googled so he knew who to say he was better than

on a technical point of information...

Can a truthbomb be trolling?

You started a thread called Rafa Benitez, Football Manager iirc

xpost

yeah, like running into the middle of a church service and shouting "YOU'RE ALL WASTING YOUR TIME"

balotelli may be better than rooney but idk he's not better than berbatov

he's funnier tho

hmmmn the berba quote about him feeding his squirrels was pretty funny

Berba cd do some awesome deadpan Aki Kaurismäki material I'm sure

rooney is fit to lace berbatov's boots, just about, but lacks the required patience and manual dexterity

rooney and fit dont go in the same sentence

what if the word 'coughing' is in there somewhere

ok mr pendant who is much smarter than me

http://i.imgur.com/ACiVd.jpg

Really hope he has an opinion about Gallas at some point. That could just run, and run, and run...

Phil McNulty to report on that beef

you already did

Or, somebody could ask him if he feels Craig Bellamy will be a threat to his place when his loan ends!

chillaxin' in Vermont I see, I suppose he's the best skier and maple syrup maker as well

he's going to love those new england winters

Mario Balotelli's injury-and-questionable-sanity-related failure to truly become a star of the global game so far has not stopped him developing a fascination for things stellar, with the Italian having recently bought a telescope. "Mario relaxes at home by sitting on his balcony and looking into the night sky," said "a source". "He finds it peaceful and wants to learn about all the stars."

http://i.imgur.com/EUoxf.jpg

fuck the haters

he's so funny!

trust robbie savage not to understand deadpan

Bibatelli. Nice.

so...

As a package, is this guy worth it?

Next drogba or next dioufy, like?

No idea. He brings entertainment, but not enough of it. I'm all up for him behaving like a toddler, but he really ought to actually play some games while doing so.

scoring record's good, i don't know if dzeko has settled in enough for that to be discounted yet.

Thought of spurs picking up either as a cheap summer cast off is a warming one.

Dzeko's been hugely disappointing, but I'm inclined to give him time because most strikers do need time to adjust - Silva or Suarez are most unusual.

dzeko's not an obvious fit for a pl team

like many of their recent signings, he was bought in order to finance yet more profligacy once the new financial regulations come in

The Italy international believes his antics would come to an end though, if he had the chance to meet Ronaldo.

Speaking on Italian TV, he said: “If you introduce me to Ronaldo, I swear I’ll behave until I give up playing football.

“I have never met him, but when you see the idol of a lifetime it can change you. It can change your way of being.

"I don’t know how I can explain it. There are many great players, but Ronaldo was the greatest and so one word from him is worth more than a thousand of all the others.”

Balotelli does not believe it will take much to sort out his problems, and has reasurred his fans that he plans to stay at City for the foreseeable future.
He continued: "In any case, I already behave myself fairly well, but I’ll try to stop doing those stupid little things, but these things happen.

“You’ll soon see the real Mario on the field!

"I have a five-year contract at Manchester - where am I going?

“I’d buy a house in Naples

http://blogs.loughboroughecho.net/goaltastic/2011/03/balotellis-genius-one-word-ins.html

Balotelli said in The People that he threw the darts in the direction of youth players because he was "bored". Nobody was hurt during the incident and ESPNsoccernet has been informed that the club view the incident as a misguided prank rather than a serious transgression.

MARIO BALOTELLI should get a Heart of Gold from ESTHER RANTZEN.

The Manchester City star helped a young autograph hunter being picked on at school - by confronting the bully himself.

The striker questioned why the young lad was playing truant with his mum outside the club's Carrington training ground rather than attending school.

After the fan revealed that he was being bullied, Mario drove the youngster and his mum over to the school in question and demanded a meeting with the headteacher.

The Blues ace got the youngster to confess what had been happening and made him identify the culprit. The lads eventually shook hands before Mario got into his white Maserati and sped off.

A source said: "Mario feels strongly about bullying and thinks it's out of order.

"He had no qualms about sorting the mess out as he felt the lad should not be missing out on school."

GENEROUS soccer star Mario Balotelli gave £1,000 to a tramp outside a casino - after a whopping £25,000 win.

The Manchester City striker, 20, shared his windfall on a night out with Blackburn Rovers ace Chris Samba.

Balotelli - who earns £100,000 a week after signing from Inter Milan for £24million last year - is said to often give cash to homeless people he sees around Manchester. His latest act of kindness came outside the city's 235 Casino last week.

A source said: "Mario is really generous. He always hands £20 notes to the Big Issue boys without even taking the magazine. There's a guy he always sees around town with ginger dreadlocks and a beard. He carries his possessions in two carrier bags.

"He was outside the club in the early hours so Mario handed him a wad of notes after his big win. The tramp couldn't believe his luck. It was enough to keep him going for months."

That tramp is undoubtedly dead now.

MARIO BALOTELLI was spotted yesterday giving a facial to Mary Magdalene outside the Chorlton branch of Costcutter.

Scriptural waif Magdalene, 2043, had gone to the discount retailer to purchase some cigarette papers and tonic wine when the Italian bad boy passed by in his Maserati.

A passerby said "it was unbelievable. He offered to give her a lift home, and in gratitude she just blew him there and then."

"Everyone knows Mario has a heart of gold but he will be extra delighted to have left his seminal imprimatur on a genuine legend of Christianity."

There was also this from The Mirror yesterday:

Yet another eyewitness report of Mario Balotelli's pulling style, as witnessed at top Manchester eaterie San Carlo: "He was in there eating as usual, and some superfit WAG wannabe walked in. He yelled ‘Hey!’ at her, food tumbling from his open mouth… but, of course, she trots straight over. He didn’t say a word – he just handed his phone so that she could input her number."

: D

fantastic.

His whole season has been shit but I'm not sure if I can say that.

Has it? I haven't seen City play much but his goalscoring numbers seem decent for his first year - one goal for every third match, or one for every two starts.

James was paraphrasing the man himself

Ah. My stream cut out at the final whistle, missed that. As long as he keeps the grandiose delusions in rotation with the exaggerated modesty.

"Everyone knows Mario has a heart of gold but he will be extra delighted to have left his seminal imprimatur on a genuine legend of Christianity."

this is really just wonderful

Having been given the night off by his club for 'family reasons', Mario Balotelli was caught on camera throwing water bombs at a meeting of Serie A club chiefs in Italy on Monday while his Manchester City team-mates were on their FA Cup victory parade.
Full story: the Sun

http://english.gazzetta.it/Football/05-06-2011/balotelli-scampia-801490193090.shtml

maybe he liked the look of it from the excellent

Gomorra - best movie of the year?

Clearly McNulty is writing everything in Italian and someone who speaks English as a second language is translating it.

Balotelli just tried the stupidest play on an open chance I have ever seen. Missed and was immediately subbed out.

Just came to post that
http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/the-showboat-shot-that-got-mario-balotelli-substituted-galaxy-13772157/

superlol

if I'm not mistaken Balotelli is currently visible on the telecast of this match, lying on the grass yards away from his bench with a towel draped over his head.

lol

hohoho

he's just trying to entertain, you fucking churls

Pre-season is serious business

those Galaxy fans sure don't like being disrespected

you never see basketballers being booed for slam-dunking

maybe when they clang it off the rim

lol never change mario.

all that plus Joe Hart lashing home the winner

Was that a Power Rangers celebration?

<3 balo. it's a friendly for fucksake mancini, ya boring cunt ye.

Mancini's reaction is what makes it though; without the succession of beleaguered straight men Mario's half the entertainer

that's true. i like how it looks like mancini is going to follow him as he walks away and give him a clip round the ear, but then stops because obviously he thinks chasing after him is nagl.

balotelli doesn't amuse me, dunno why.

You must be one of the "fucking churls" NV mentions above. I think I'm one too.

chucking farls at u facking churls right now

ya maybe

i hope u don't like farls else the exercise will have been in vain

search farls on ilx

Could do with a farl tbh

meanwhile at the other end

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1LsqynyBNk&feature=player_embedded

Mancini, who argued with Balotelli as the forward left the pitch after 31 minutes, insisted that the striker he used to manage at Inter Milan knew he was not offside.

"Mario needs to understand his behaviour has to be good in every game - not just in a final or a semi-final but every game.

"He knows he made a mistake. Football should always be serious and if you have a chance to score, you should score.

srsly fuck this guy

nah ismael's right, the mancini father-son dynamic is what makes it so good. you guys are acting like he's treating mario with the contempt mourinho did

i know there's a long history of flair players turning brutalist once in management but i don't really believe "football should always be serious" guy would ever have tried to backheel one in from a corner. he's still got the devil in him somewhere but he's just trying to bring up baby mario right

ha

mancini was a great player

now he's a dick

onimo with backheel finish

Yes, but he scored

yeah if it went in it would have been fine.

"I only had the iPad during the warm up, I did not take it with me on the bench," Balotelli is quoted as saying on La Repubblica.

Sky just showed some great footage of Mario getting mobbed when he went to visit the inmates in a prison in Florence. Jim Beglin would be astonished by the huge smile Mario was sporting.

Anti-mafia investigators in Italy want to interview Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli over a visit he made to a known mafia hot spot in Naples.

Prosecutors say they want to interview him over possible contacts he may have had unwittingly with the Neapolitan mafia, the Camorra, last year.

Mario Balotelli's house set on fire as he shoots fireworks from window

<3

Gift that keeps on giving.

'The property, in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, sustained serious fire and smoke damage and the police were also called – in part to ensure Balotelli did not go back into the house. The striker is said to have been reluctant to leave his belongings and, at one point, to have run back inside to recover a quantity of money and a suitcase."

Can't wait to hear the fallout from this

http://sports.yahoo.com/soccer/blog/dirty-tackle/post/Balotelli-reportedly-organizing-Man-City-8217-s?urn=sow-wp5772

"Mario isn't one for drinking and falling out of clubs, he just thinks he can take a party to the next level.
"But some of the lads aren't so sure. They are half-expecting imported snow with tigers and dwarves."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNnAvTTaJjM

“If we want to talk about Mario the football player we can put him in the first five players in the world,” Mancini said after the game.

“I don't know what happened apart from he lives in a hotel now. I hope for him and for football that Mario can change his mind. After this, he can become one of the best players in the world like Messi and Ronaldo.

“The problem is because of his age he can make some mistakes. He's Mario. He's crazy – but I love him because he's a good guy.”

He's Mario. He's crazy – but I love him because he's a good guy

Mancini OTM

fucking yas!

He has thanked the City fans for their backing of the players and, in particular, himself. "Even when I have had bad moments they have supported me," he said. "But I don't care what people say about me. I am focused on my football, my manager, girlfriends and my family."

Man what a legend <3

haha girlfriends

Do you all remember those dark days before Balotelli when we had to desperately latch onto dullards like Dave Kitson as cult heroes?

Kitson provided as many lols as he did goals.

balotelli isn't cult, tbf

He's showing the rest how to go mainstream and keep yr cult credibility.

his mum sent him out to buy an iron and an ironing board; he returned five hours later with a giant trampoline, a Scalextric set, a table tennis table and two Vespa scooters. And no iron. This according to "an insider" on Twitter.

And a multi-pack of Monster Munch and a Wham bar.

Mario spent two days with Raffaella at her family home, sleeping in the spare room.

She recalls: "He gifted us with his presence and his smile and my mother Antoinetta said to me, 'You've really picked a good one, Raffaella'.

"On the second day, he took me shopping to cheer me up. We went past Louis Vuitton and he said, 'Choose something' but I said no, because I didn't love him for his money.

"He left after two days and my mother gave me a package he had left. It was a bucket bag from Louis Vuitton and that's when I knew that he loved me and wanted to make me happy."

'Sammy' Amoebi?

Yeah he's the younger brother, appeared once or twice as a sub this season I think, became a mild sensation for his funny Twitter account I think.

there arent many other players to fit the balotelli zone is there? brazilian ronaldo maybe?

Yeah see it wouldn't be funny if it applied to a lot of players.

Sammy gets a game for the england u21s iirc

gazza. If you find hitting women likeable.

I don't.

I'm trying to decide if head butting someone in a W Cup Final is the action of a rational man. And then I remember it was Matarazzi and decide it probably was.

Yeah see it wouldn't be funny if it applied to a lot of players.

― boxall, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 16:35 (2 minutes ago)

Sure but I was just amazed at how it genuinely seems to only apply to only one player! you'd think you could at least name like, 10 who fit into the catagory of talented, mental and likable. george best as the og maybe?

There's Cassano, I find him more likeable than Zlatan.

I'd posit Garrincha as the OG

I <3 Cassano but come on, other than being a cult love, he is hated by p. much everyone.

Hmmm, seems the Little Bird was partial to the odd bit of spousal abuse too. Maybe not that likeable after all

talented, mental, likeable

Hmmm, could argue against p much anyone in that last bracket

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli surprised students at a school when he walked in and asked to use the toilet.
Balotelli, 21, apparently parked his Bentley outside Xaverian College, Manchester, on Thursday lunchtime.
He used the toilet before talking to students in the canteen and walking into the teachers' staff room.
A college spokesman told the Manchester Evening News: "Xaverian was delighted to receive a surprise visit from Mario who chatted to some of the students."
Student Edward Gasson, 18, was sitting in the canteen with friends when Balotelli walked in.
He commented: "Balotelli parked his Bentley outside then came in and was asking where the toilets were, then he went to the teachers' staff room.
"After that he was just walking round campus like he owned the place and everyone was following him around.
"I'm a City fan so it was amazing to see him but it was a bit ridiculous for him to come here - you would never expect it to happen."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17295000

telling Noel Gallagher he "needs to mature"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsGMttFRp30

the way balotelli moves looks like a forward in trequartista system or a central attacking triangle like milans

he doesnt go in for sprints but sort of breaks inside-left, or moves about between the lines expecting others to make runs into the box

difficult to describe but he looks like a very italian player who doesnt create or need to play at pace or with expansive 'natural width' but rather an array of passing options nearby

that was sposed to be 'create...natural width', obv he is capable of creating chances and should do so more often

Are his wages extremely high, will he be on subsidized loan next season like Adebayor? I'm assuming Mancini will be sacked I guess.

At least 150k a week. Dzeko is more obvious subsidized loan next season. And I dunno if anyone will pay for Ade yet.

I wonder how well Balotelli would play for Spurs?

balotelli might replace pato at milan, if galliani is in form then it will be a loan initially like ibrahimovic

mourinho at citeh looks more and more likely

Oh my god.

amazing

"Although I would have preferred not to speak about my private life in public, I feel obliged to clarify, once and for all, my relationship with Raffaella Fico," the 21-year-old explained.

"Our relationship ended at the start of April and since then we have not met, nor heard from one another.

"I have not had anything to do with her life and Raffaella has not had anything to do with my life.

"Raffaella knows well that since we parted company with one another that I had, and have, no intention of returning to her.

"But because of what there was between us, I never wanted to talk about it, even when there were untrue things being said and written about us.

"A few days ago I came to learn from others that Raffaella was pregnant. For this reason, I decided to contact her and only after my question was it confirmed to me that it was true.

"I am very disappointed. I do not think it's normal not to know anything until the fourth month [of the pregnancy].

"I do not understand why she did not contact me immediately to tell me something of such importance.

"I'll assume all my responsibilities when I have the proof of my paternity."

Balotelli continued: "Also, it annoys me to see that she has already sought to make money from this story by selling photos and interviews.

"I think that Rafaella is already famous enough not to have to take advantage of this story for publicity purposes.

"This is the first and only time I will discuss this topic in public and so I have no intention of replying independently to what is said or written by Raffaella."

amazing in so many ways

is that the blonde from girls aloud?

That statement seems reasonable enough.

‘I have no regrets about leaving. I have to say this all the City fans were so nice to me and supported me in the bad moments, and I would like to thank Roberto Mancini for all the support he gave me.

‘I will miss the Premier League which I think is the best in the world, and the crowds at games.

‘But I am not going to miss the food, the weather, and the traffic and everything else.’
