Balotelli fan club...

Agree with you Kamikaze - at first talented players like these are funny with their antics but the longer they carry on not delivering on teh pitch and sulking but appearing in the papers for weird reasons rather than footballing ones it all gets pretty annoying for the fans.

It annoys me when they lump Tevez in with Balotelli. At least Tevez has proved himself as a world class striker whilst Mario has basically done feck all.
My lasting memory of Balotelli from yesterday was that wierd ballet type thing he got horribly wrong then lying on the floor pretending he was injured. Very, very embarassing.

I'd put up with Mario's antics more if he was actually delivering on the pitch, he played well in the semi and was momentarily given 'legendary status' for winking at Rio, now he's back to being nothing more than a embarrassing tiit.

Grated Bean:
spot on !! if ballotelli was playing like tevez did his antics would be seen as "just his funny way", he'd be the stuff of legends. as it is he's just an annoying tiiit.

i dont see him becoming a quality footballer. its mind boggling what any club has actually seen in this guy. what has he shown mancini in the one year he's been at city? not much really.

He shows glimpses of real quality and natural brilliance, and then rips it away with complete and utter bolllocks.

glimpses yes. but these glimpses are once or twice a game no?
ive never seen him perform for 4/5 games consistently..

i think man city should have taken note when mourinho said, hes unmanageable.. mourinho doesnt often give up with players. but balotelli clearly was the exception.

Pretty much spot on, at least his terrible performance yesterday means Aguero will hopefully get the nod ahead of him against Swansea, maybe alongside Tevez.

yeah pretty jealous of aguero going to your club. chelsea were after him for god know's how long when he didnt want to leave and now he become available, we didnt do anything.

i think tevez will stay. nice little argentinian contingent growing at city now and im sure they'l petition for a 3rd restaurant in manchester to be opened up soon

Aguero and Tevez against Swansea. I feel for the poor lil Welsh side, that is one hell of an introduction to the premier league.

I was screaming at Mancini yesterday willing him to take off Balotelli and bring on Aguero, yet what does he do? Bring on Barry.

Sorry guys, I like you and hope you spank United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs but you need a manager who isn't scared to attack. Mancini infuriated me yesterday, I was rooting for you guys by myself in a bar in Toulouse full of United fans but the minute United got to 2-2 I knew they were going to win.

It's in their nature to get the last minute goal, so you have to beat them to it by attacking them.
