Alright sort of the year 2011

Mario Balotelli is currently driving around Manchester City Centre in a convertible Bentley (music blaring, top down), high fiving City fans
I hope Balotelli and Cassano get to room together in Poland and Ukraine.
I like the bit at the end where he refers to ‘girlfriends’ as opposed to girlfriend. :lol:
It just gets better and better with this guy. :lol:
I have to admit, even as a United fan, that guy is just a fucking legend.
‘I’ve just heard a Mario Balotelli story that betters Tesco & the fireworks…OK, so his mum’s over from Italy, asks the cleaner if she has everything she needs. Cleaner: “No, I need all the practical things - iron etc.” Mario’s mum: “Where can we go to buy these things? Write me a list and we’ll go and buy it all” Cleaner: “John Lewis.” So Mario’s ma sends him & his mates to John Lewis with a shopping list in hand…Mario returns to the house 5 hrs later…empty-handed. Cleaner: “Er, where’s the iron, iron-board etc?” Then a big John Lewis van arrives…van contains nothing from the shopping list bt the following ‘practical items’: - giant trampoline, Scalextric, 2 Vespas, table tennis set’ - Via @ChrisDolan on Twitter.
Whats the tesco story?
Check this shit out.\
I’m delighted to have done a complete U-Turn on this guy.
Its the bullying one that really shows the mans character.
Here’s the quote referred to above where he mentions “girlfriends”:
I am focused on my football, my team-mates and my manager, girlfriends and my family, and what they say to me. What anyone else says is not important.”
:lol:
What a guy!
Balotelli is fast becoming a cult hero, received this today mostly the same stuff. Hadn’t heard the Wilshire one before. Quality stuff though.
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]HERO!! [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]A is for AC Milan. If you’re a football player for Inter Milan, what’s the most intelligent thing you can possibly do? That’s right! You parade around on national television wearing the shirt of your club’s bitter rivals, AC Milan! [/size][/font]

[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]B is for bib. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]C is for Camorra. Balotelli is suspected by many to have links with The Camorra - a criminal organisation very similar to The Mafia - because he was given a guided tour around notoriously violent areas of Naples by mobsters. He claims not to have known that they were mobsters at the time. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]D is for derby. Manchester Utd 1-6 Manchester City. Mario Balotelli scored twice as City handed Utd their heaviest defeat in Premier League history - something the fans won’t soon forget. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]E is for ego. “There’s only one player that is a little stronger than me: [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color=”#000000"]Messi. All of the others are behind me." - see N for a follow up. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]F is for fireworks. Mario is extremely safety conscious when it comes to fire safety. He would never do something irresponsible like - I don’t know -shoot fireworks from his bathroom window! See Q for a follow up. [/size][/font]

[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]G is for generosity. Mario Balotelli has regularly been spotted handing out £20 notes to passers-by. See H for a follow up. [/size][/font]

[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]K is for karma. Mario Balotelli’s back-heeled goal attempt against LA Galaxy landed him in hot water with Roberto Mancini. He was subbed off instantly. Balotelli claimed that he only attempted the back-heeled goal because he thought he was offside. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]L is for Lothario. Balotelli reportedly shouted at a ‘wannabe WAG’ in a restaurant. With food falling from his mouth he told her to come over. Unbelievably, she came over. He handed her his phone and told her to store her number in it. Even more unbelievably, she did it. She then left without either of them saying another word. Who says romance is dead? [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]M is for marmite. You either love him or you hate him. [/size][/font]

[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]N is for Nicklas Bendtner syndrome. Balotelli suffers from what psychologists call “Nicklas Bendtner syndrome” - Mario genuinely believes he’s the best player the world has ever seen. [/size][/font]

[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]O is for open top bus. When Man City won the FA cup, Balotelli reportedly said he’d only go on the open top bus parade if he could take his dog, Lucky, on board with him. His request was denied. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]P is for passenger seat. Mario Balotelli was pulled over by police shortly after moving to Manchester because he was driving round with £25,000 in cash on his passenger seat. When they asked him why he had it, he laughed and replied “because I can.” [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]Q is for question. Who’s the best man to front a firework safety campaign? [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]Answer - The man who set his £3million mansion on fire, with fireworks, just two days before fronting the campaign. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]R is for role-model. Balotelli is the ideal role-model for kids everywhere. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]Whether he’s throwing darts, setting off fireworks indoors or abusing the general public, Mario’s behaviour is always top-notch! [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]S is for show off. When Balotelli won the European Golden Boy Trophy he bragged that he had never even heard of his closest rival, Jack Wilshere, but would find out who he was just so he could remind him that he came in 2 nd place. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]T is for tyre-track. My personal favourite of Mario’s crazy haircuts. (It was hard to pick a favourite) [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]U is for undoubted talent. Aged just 21 Balotelli has already scored nearly 50 professional goals and has won 7 major trophies, including the Champions League. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]V is for visitor. Balotelli once took his younger brother to visit a women’s prison. When questioned by guards Mario said he and his brother were “just curious at the fact that it was a women’s prison.” [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]W is for “why always me?” [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]X is for x-ray. Balotelli has been sidelined several times throughout his career due to recurring knee injuries. [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]Y is for youth team. Balotelli was once found guilty of throwing darts at members of the Man City youth team. His excuse? “I got bored and wanted to pass some time.” [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"] [/size][/font]
[font=“Times New Roman”][size=“3”][color="#000000"]Z is for zoom. Following Man City’s 6-1 win over Man Utd, Balotelli reportedly drove around Manchester high-fiving City fans out of his car window. I’m not sure about the validity of this story, but let’s face it it does sound like something he’d do. [/size][/font]

This is a good interview from before the FA Cup Final in May. Charts his childhood in Italy through to joining Manchester City:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTK1OIo7Vxc&
He can’t put on a bib but he can ride a horse backwards:
http://p.twimg.com/Acru0PACAAAxEQ8.jpg
He does a shit load of charity work too:
http://www.mariobalotelli.it/en/mario-solidarieta/
He’s a legend.
The latest report is that he has dug up his back garden and replaced it with a quad bike track. :lol:
Obviously I’d imagine he paid someone to do this rather than himself.
Mario is so good he interviews himself

How long before the press tear him down? These things always end that way.
