Just bought, review to follow when Amazon pull their collective fingers out _________________ Not surprised Xavi's been replaced. His pass completion rate was only 89%. Useless.

Jose Mourinho on Mario Balotelli in an interview with CNN:
“Mario was good fun. I could write a book of 200 pages of my two years in Inter with Mario, but the book would be not a drama. The book would be a comedy! I remember one in Kazan. We went to Kazan in the Champions League. In that match, I had all my strikers injured. No Milito, no Eto’o. I was really in trouble and Mario was the only one. Mario gets a yellow card in minute 42 or 43. So, when I go to the dressing room at half time, I spent, I would say, 14 minutes of the 15 speaking only for Mario. “Mario, I cannot change you. I cannot make a change. I don’t have a striker on the bench. Don’t touch
anybody. Play only with the ball. When we lose the ball, no reaction. If somebody provocates you, no reaction. If the referee makes a mistake, no reaction.
Mario, please”
Minute 46, red card!

He is total shite. You get clowns like this in county football. They do one bit of skill and the coaches spend their entire life trying to find a formula to make them replicate it.
Him being compared to cantona did give me one of my biggest laughs of the season though so cant complain. Why not throw in he is ronaldo and messi like. _________________ The next best thing to gambling and winning is gambling and losing.

He isnt total shite, he's Italy's #1 striker. And lol at mentioning Cantona in the same breath as Messi and Ronaldo. And never heard of any county players going for £20m twice!

Cantona is a good player, i mean he is no jermaine jenas, but i think a few experts rate him quite highly.
I remember giggs playing for the salford boys. Numerous players will have played county football before being tied to a club and not allowed. _________________ The next best thing to gambling and winning is gambling and losing.

I said that only a foolish or hubristic manager would sign him because the amount of effort you would expend making him play properly would detract from the rest of the team, i.e. he's a liability. I should get a Damian Comolli type job.

You can call him a clown a nob or a nutter but never a bad footballer. A comparison to Cantona in some ways in that I guess I hate him as much as you hate Mario but I wouldn't call Cantona a bad player either.

i dont hate mario. i think he is awesome news wise. he is hilarious. i dont hate any city players. i hate the players like barker and le joey barton as thhey are skillless thugs on and off the pitch.
I am not sure why you hate cantona. did the city fans tell you that you should?
i like garath bale, thierry henry, zola, oscar, and the list goes on and on. great footballers are great footballers regardless of what club they are at and to hate them because of this seems a little bit childish for a grown adult. _________________ The next best thing to gambling and winning is gambling and losing.

I have to admit that I will miss him from the PL, because of his unpredictability. He can be sublime, but no where near consistantly enough to be considered a top class player (not yet anyway). On most other days he is a car crash waiting to happen.
The reveal of the 'why always me' t-shirt was brilliant and if I could have any player in the world take a penalty to win a match in the last minute, I would choose Mario every time, but he would drive me crazy in the long run if he played for my team.
He is definately an eccentric and I am sure he will give plenty more entertainment in his future (on and off the pitch).

1) You need to google him a bit better
2) Whilst i dont condone cantona's action in any way he was getting confronted and he had a square go at a dickhead. There was no cowardly backdoor attack. so whilst i do not like the fact he reacted as he did i respect the fact that he reacted like a man. I dont have a lot of sympathy for dickheads getting a smack. whether they are in the pub, in the crowd, or a ball boy. It should not happen but sometimes people get what they deserve. _________________ The next best thing to gambling and winning is gambling and losing.
