Mario Balotelli [General]

[Shaggy]

Why/how do the photographers get into their training ground? Training ground bust ups happen all the time and I am shocked City let themselves get exposed like this time and time again.

Best training ground bust up ever was Hartson on Berkavic at WHU.

I used to work right near there and it's a weird place. Public footpaths running past it. After the last one they were supposed to have been putting fences up but it's clearly not happened yet. So amateurish.

[dww]

Not with the Manager though?

I would have thought a manager rollocking a player for going hard would be pretty standard. Some people tend to fly off the handle and Mario has clearly that sort of personality. It has been said that Mancini sees a lot of himself in Mario so maybe it is just that they are both combustible personalities and this will blow over as its just part of both of their characters. Its not like they don't know each other well.

They have probably written it all off seeing as they ar ebuilding that amazing football complex. Still, a few fences FFS.

You are right that it is probably pretty standard. But that does not excuse a player like Ballotelli being combustible. I would have thought he should be doing his best to keep that side of it under control. Mind you, the same could be said for Mancini here.

If a club keeps a player after a four month golf holiday, a training ground bust-up is nothing.

Is this necessarily a problem with Ballotelli though (assuming it is a real issue in the first place)? Mancini looks far from blameless.

MEN seem to think it was instigated by Mancini. Guy's lost it. He probably knows his power has been undermined, knows they've ****ed this season right up and probably knows he's being replaced in the summer.

And he knows he'll never write another tune as good as the Pink Panther either.

Agreed. Still think Ballotelli is an idiot with a massive attitude problem though.

Yeah looks alot like Mancini being a clown again.

Yup, looks a lot like Mancini from the pictures there, think he's under huge pressure and losing the plot somewhat.

I am sure Mario is not an innocent party either just that it's not all him.

mancini must know that he needs professionals if city are ever to catch united, and baby sitting this petulant prick has pushed him over the edge or reason.
