Super Mario? No, he's a bubbling cauldron of fury always looking for the next fight
Centre of attention: The Manchester City striker is certainly becoming box office

I admire his confidence, but can we really say with any conviction that he will get safely through tomorrow's game without committing an act of stupidity that will cost his team? I wouldn't be surprised if he gets sent off.

Look, he can be an incredible talent. He is lucky to have managers at club level, Roberto Mancini, and at international level, Cesare Prandelli, who want to protect him and tolerate him.

People will say that I don't like mavericks, but I loved playing with Paul Gascoigne, whose mischief often came with a smile. With Balotelli, he wants to do everything with a snarl, like he is seething and looking for the  next fight.
