If you've never played on some dried out gravel/dirt pitch you haven't lived.

Playing on gravel or asphalt and going home with scrapes all over your legs is like a badge of honor for most kids. I know I loved it, my mom not so much.

"Man City's 4th best striker" is a bit disingenuous considering how good he is and how much better he could still become.

It's not disingenuous at all.

Aguero, Tevez and Dzeko are all much better, more effective, more reliable, less petulant (even Tevez) footballers.

He was pretty good at the Euros tbf but yeah, I agree.

Love Balotelli though, he's a complete headcase but in a likeable way.

The only place at my chool to play football during lunch breaks was a 3 meter by 10 meter concrete corridor with cinderblock walls on each side.

Ah yes, the exercise yard. A nation of convicts indeed.

To be fair, we did have 2 cricket pitches and another 2 rugby fields but we weren't allowed to use them during the week due to our groundsmen preparing them for the weekend.

It was actually our head of football telling me 'Don't try and run with it, you are bad at dribbling. Kick the man then kick the ball, both as hard as you can.'

"This is a bit of a... a poof song"
Balotelli definitely needs to do something whacky again soon, else people will carry on noticing that he's poo poo like 80% of the time in a City shirt.
