Mancini saying that Balotelli won't play for City again this season and will probably be sold in the summer.

Err - isn't that what he said about Tevez.

The special one will play him anyway.

Should have been sent off for a shocking tackle on Song in the first half that ref and linos missed. Nasty piece of work.

Talented but mad as a bicycle and totally self absorbed.Mancini should have took him off soon as he saw his mood.Liability and a danger to others.

In other news what a blinding miss by Ramsey,funny as the sunderland own goal in the cup replay.

I suspect he'll get a retrospective for that one & a straight red issued. Thus, this time, a 4 match ban.

Its clear Mancini has given up on the guy & his nonsence.

At least he hasn't done a Wenger & pretending he hasn't seen it. Bravo.

The guy has absolutely nowhere near the kind of ability that could justify putting up with his petulance. He has a poor first touch and lacks awareness.

All of this "he's a world class player, but" ahite doesn't wash with me. People want to overhype his ability so they don't feel bad for finding him entertaining.

People say he's a character.
Aye he's a character in the same way Joey Barton is a character. Knobhead.

He's piss funny and a good player. Boris is right that he isn't anywhere near 'that' good though. Not worth the trouble.

He's a fecking scumbag and the sooner he's out of our league, the better. There's characters, then there's complete scum like him. His attempted stamp at Scott Parker's head was disgusting and that 'challenge' on Alex Song was another shocker that could easily end a career.

I wouldn't usually wish an injury on a player but I'd love it if someone ended him, mainly as all his opponents would be safer from injury.

Well, they didn't.

Amazed.

So, we'll see if Mancini sticks to his word & simply doesn't play him, anyway.

Would walk into the England side for all his off & on field misdemeanours...

Does make me chuckle to myself that all the self indignant idiots who do the punditry started off slagging him off, he rips us a new arsehole and he's alright, scores 2 vs the Germans and he's the best striker in the world...

Listening to Talksport on the way home from work last night, some City fan phones in to say Balotelli will be the best player in the world............

There must be just more than me who has no real opinion on him whatsoever? I don't really care that much.*

*Obvously, the bish** will be along in a few minutes to pick me up on the fact that this also constitutes an opinion.
