I'm sorry, but Mario clearly isn't smiling properly in this. He's a disease on the beautiful game, he takes the great out of Great Britain.

Ah don't take my disease quote out of context.

He is a disease on team morale and spirit when the team is struggling.

So you're saying Liverpool are the most successful English side, yes?

Rodgers says Borini was "outstanding" last night. This mean he has a chacne to start on Saturday?

Whenever I see a picture of Balotelli I just think of Black Dynamite

Completely off topic but my Dad worked on that movie as either a gaffer/best boy, can't remember probably best boy. He said at the end of the shoot Mel Gibson had the wrap party on this big **** off ranch outside of Bangkok. He manned the BBQ himself and served my Da a steak.

Favourite quote from the movie:

I rated all governments and countries by how good or bad their Saturday nights were and I knew that Moscow and Peking had to be a stone drag at that time of the week. So I was flying for a cause. I was fighting to defend chicken BBQs and weinee roasts, and Ray Charles songs and drinking Southern Comfort till you passed out behind the bar.

On the football side of things, i don't really know how the League cup thing is even a debate...we're 3 games away from a trophy. Just go win those 3 games.

There are a fair few examples in a couple of games off the top of my head such as Basle, QPR, Madrid, Ludogrets etc.

The first thing is the constant refusal to pass to teammates when he recieves the ball within 30 yards of the opposition goal. This is selfish and gets a visable reaction out of other players.

The next issue is workrate. When he loses the ball, he regularly puts his head down and keeps walking the way he was originally running (rather than back towards the person who dispossed him). When he doesn't have the ball he looks very lazy generally. More difficult to give you a tangible example of how this affects other players but I hardly think you need one.

Another issue is complaining when someone else gives him a bad pass or miscontrols a pass from him. The most serious example of him affecting team morale in my opinion. Particularly evident against Basle, he will berate players like Sterling and Coutinho (players much younger than him but with excellent attitudes and more responsibility) even if the original pass from himself was poor. Enrique gave gim a terrible ball in that game IIRC and Mario displayed a poor attitude about it.

Finally, his ill-discipline. Yellow last week is obvious. But again, Vs Basle, putting his hand on the face of an opponent when the team is losing and risking a red.

Obviously these incidents do not take intro consideration the numerous examples from Milan and Man City in particular.

Balotelli has just been criticised on Sky Sports by Andy Hinchcliffe for not celebrating his goal "correctly".

Talk about nitpicking, Balotelli has already explained why he doesn't celebrate.

Why doesn't he celebrate? I missed that bit of info.

Balo likened a striker scoring goals to a postman, the postman does not kiss the company logo on his jacket every time the letter goes in the box.

The order isn't important. I don't get much out of the overall competition itself.

Beating Chelsea in the Semi would be more important to me than beating Burnley in the final because it's Chelsea. It may as well be comparing two friendlies as far as I'm concerned.

This is even more bizarre than the stuff you posted this morning.

Good job we have real fans otherwise Anfield would have been empty the other night. Not caring whether your team wins a trophy is a non fan, in my book anyway. I just don't subscribe to that logic at all.

I'm guessing you'd lose interest alltogether if we spent a few seasons in the bottom half or even relegated?

Hardly. The league matters. Ergo I care how we do in it.

Pilsbury Doughboy · 30-10-2014 06:38PM

Gbear is taking a serious amount of grief, now it's 'he's not a real fan' way ott reaction IMO.

I don't agree with what he says in that it's great to win any cup and I would like to win the league cup this year, but Re the Cardiff final I can see where he's coming from, because it was a Championship side we played against everyone expected us to win it convincingly, but typically we struggled, played shoite and ended up jamming out a win and never looked convincing, it's not exactly giving you free reign to go to work the following Monday and start bragging about fluking a win agasinst Cardiff, you'd almost have to be sheepish about it and say , yes we were shoite but we got the job done, put in on the Roll of Honour and move on.

30-10-2014 06:51PM

How you can't get excited about your team winning a trophy is beyond me.

So it means someone who doesn't care for the lesser cups has had one trophy to celebrate since 1990.

Their loss

I think it depends on the skin you're using. I use the dark theme on my laptop and twitter embedding ain't perfect but on the touch site it works a dream
