"Even when I have had bad moments they have supported me," he said. "But I don't care what people say about me. I am focused on my football, my manager, girlfriends and my family."

According to Mirror Football, Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli pulled a genuine Balotelli move when he taunted Wayne Rooney’s prostitute Jenny Thompson in a crowded restaurant. The genius Italian striker was said to have chanted “Rooney, Rooney” at Thompson and a companion whose complaints were met by Mario blowing a raspberry in her face.

This thread was needed. So much win.

Also how could you forget the Fireworks fiasco?

Also He is now the official representative of the Manchester City Council for Fireworks safety during bon fire night. (No really)

"I met her once, she started to bombard me with texts, I had to block her number. She's a superficial little character.

"I would never have a serious relationship with her."

Mario hinted at why he snubbed Sophie in favour of her pal and fellow glamour model FAYE EVETTE during the party at his apartment.

He said: "My friends arrived at my place with a friend of hers, a girl I already knew, much more interesting than Sophie."

Since that night Mario says Sophie has been sending him so many long texts that he can't be bothered to read them.

Perhaps she should have sent some pictures instead.

The centre forward has been left scratching his head over why Sophie sold her story — if she needed money, he'd have gladly coughed up.

He said: "Sophie has just sent me another SMS a mile long. After two screen loads I had to erase it.

"Now that her Big Brother popularity has waned, she's trying to be back on the media to find work.

"Does she need money? Why does she not tell me so, instead of getting me on the front pages.

"Maybe I'm so stupid I could have even given her the money. So sad. I think of the parents of these kind of girls."

[Mr Nick09]

This was in Football 365's Mediawatch section:

I've just heard a Mario Balotelli story that betters Tesco & the fireworks...OK, so his mum's over from Italy, asks the cleaner if she has everything she needs. Cleaner: "No, I need all the practical things - iron etc." Mario's mum: "Where can we go to buy these things? Write me a list and we'll go and buy it all" Cleaner: "John Lewis." So Mario's ma sends him & his mates to John Lewis with a shopping list in hand...Mario returns to the house 5 hrs later...empty-handed. Cleaner: "Er, where's the iron, iron-board etc?" Then a big John Lewis van arrives...van contains nothing from the shopping list bt the following 'practical items': - giant trampoline, Scalextric, 2 Vespas, table tennis set' - Via @ChrisDolan on Twitter.

[NiallQuinnsdiscoPants]

1) What could possibly top all that? The unconfirmed story now doing the rounds which claims that Mario's mum, after consultations with his new cleaner, sent her lad off to John Lewis to buy a list of supplies including an iron, a mop and a Hoover. A few hours later, Mario's car pulled up with a van behind - which promptly unloaded a giant trampoline, two Vespa scooters and no cleaning products whatsoever...



absolute legend he is. they should make a movie about him. Would be miles more entertaining than that Goal crap they did a few years ago

So much luff. When he turns up is a class player aswell.

[dostoevsky]

How can you still feel safe in Manchester?

My only problem with Balotelli: is always injured when he's called up for the national team.

When he's fit though, watch out Europe

Charlie Sheen not WC

[zarola]

this whole fireworks thing pisses me off....

he didn't *bleep* do it, and even if he did so *bleep* what. but the point is; he didn't. His brother and friends did it, how many times has someone else done something stupid when you were around?

half of this stuff is totally blown out of proportion by the media.

long live balotelli. My favourite player of all time.

[Swanhends]

Balotelli: "I don't care what people say about me. I am focused on my football, my manager, girlfriends and my family."

Yes. Girlfriends. Plural.

OP forgot to mention that he has the greatest fashion sense in the world:
