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

super mario or gtfo

can't help but feel it's a different generic black player and they just swopped the shirt in

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

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

Cantona

thought about it

on deansgate one night, mario balotelli illegally parks his car while he visits a swanky establishment. a traffic warden approaches, but is persuaded not to issue a ticket by a perhaps enterprising homeless man. balotelli re-emerges, the homeless man explains the favour he has done & is met w/...

a: stony silence
b: vague gratitude
c: an incredible torrent of abuse of insane intensity
d: some money as a thank you

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."

Mario <3

awesome. one of those songs that u wish was longer.

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.’

xp can't say fair than that really. last sentence is pretty much how i feel about the place anyway

Brace on his debut. Roberto Mancini, what have you done?

wtf berlusconi II

I read that as KBP and thought it was reference to King Boy Pato

"It is not too late for me to win the Ballon d'Or," he added.

"I think I could have already won it by now, but I might be able to win it within two to three years by working hard and staying serious.

"Over the past two years, my work ethic has increased from 10 per cent to 80 per cent. I have really started working hard over the past two years."
