Nah, they should sack him for being in a restaurant finishing his meal at 12.45, not drinking. Xenophobic english media, truly disgusting.
Agree on the media MBB but he was breaking a rule of the club and he was surely aware of this given that he phoned Mancini before the Napoli game to ask for permission to go for a meal prior to the game.
To be honest, I couldnt think of an issue that could be more of a non issue than this one.
Just having a look through the rest of that daily mail site. What a paper!
They have a page discussing Margaret Tatchers funeral plans, but kindly add at the bottom that she is still alive that her health has not deteriorated in recent months :lol:
Bastards getting our hopes up.
I read through the first few paragraphs and was wondering how I missed such a momentous event.
Balotelli scores goals.
That was sheer quality from Aguero and Balotelli.
I wonder if this thread should be left to document his map cap antics though. :lol:
This thread should be used solely for recording incidents of his unusual behavior. Please do not go off topic. If you wish to discuss his football performances please use the EPL thread.

He was exchanging punches with Micah Richards yesterday.
This may be a slight exaggeration.
I believe Micah has a slight lisp, if so Mario was well within his right to punch him
Tabs also trying to make a story of the bill he ran up in the hotel room he was staying in while his house was renovated, pathetic hounding of the great Mario.
I choose to ignore the patently false story doing the rounds on Saturday about Balotelli dressed as Sana handing out bags of money in Manchester.
As we can all see Balotelli is perfectly normal
