Mario Balotelli [On the Road to Ballon d'or)

That's a ****ing disgrace

have you been asleep for a year now? If not why the apparent outrage at this fact being presented before you? When we all know our defence hasn't been great. Doesn't paint a true picture anyway. We were all happy with the victories we picked up by attacking last season, the down side is it leaves you open.

I'd rather have andy carroll leading our attack than this waste of space. I've never seen a player look like he's not arsed more than him.

[Vermilion]

Grrrr! get away from my motor!

Oooh er.....I'm calling the police!

Mario Balotelli: Police called to 'Ferrari pictures dispute'

Police are investigating a claim that Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli "threatened" a woman who was taking pictures of his Ferrari.

Greater Manchester Police were called at 15:05 BST on Thursday by a resident in the Wythenshawe area of Manchester.

It is understood the woman alleges that the 24-year-old moved towards her daughter, who was taking a picture of the red sports car, which was parked on the pavement.

Police will interview those involved.

A GMP spokesman said: "We received a report of threatening behaviour and we are investigating."

The forward was substituted at half-time in Liverpool's 3-0 Champions League defeat by Real Madrid on Wednesday and was criticised for swapping his shirt with Real's Pepe at the interval.

Reds manager Brendan Rodgers said he had reminded Balotelli about the "club culture" at Anfield.

my comment was reacting to that 'particular statistic' that i doubt anyone knew... including your fine self

[Exiled_red]

I think a lot of the comments people are making about him are over the top and some are unnecessary. What is clear however is that he isn't what we need, that isn't his fault, it is the fault of the people who signed him, many people on here could see it when we were linked with him so why they couldn't is the main question

[danperkins]

Yeah don't really care about the shirt swapping or the off the pitch shenanigans, fact being he looks sub standard and lazy on the pitch & it is effecting how we attack opposition.

More importantly it is affecting how the opposition attacks us.

With no need to worry about Balotelli they can always push one central defender or both full backs up into attack.

Our defenders must love Mario. He takes the heat out of some pretty dismal performances from them.

Mario has been disappointing for sure - but I've never read so much vitriol about one of our players. No way is he single handedly responsible for us being **** this season.

I expect better from the Beeb. Totally pointless and worthless, it isn't amusing or funny, it isn't insightful or interesting in the slightly. A waste of time.

[Kenneth]

Yes, it's stupid.
