AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Attitude, application. How he carries himself on the field, his antics on the pitch, the fact he rarely seems to be enjoying football or his goals. Just take the Villa game for example, telling Villa fans to shush when he slipped over, and then celebrating in front of them all when he scored. When he's on the pitch, he's a word removed. Off it, it's funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I loved it at Inter when he scored, took his shirt off and stamped on it a few times in front of the ultras, then a few hours later got photoed wearing a Milan shirt I love him more than I love anything else in the whole wide world.

PieFacE Posted October 25, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2011 Just take the Villa game for example, telling Villa fans to shush when he slipped over, and then celebrating in front of them all when he scored. When he's on the pitch, he's a word removed. Off it, it's funny. That's a good thing IMO. Having a bit of banter with the fans is great, footballers are so far away from fans in every aspect of life these days, a bit of banter is our only way of really connecting to them. I'd much prefer a player who's getting stick of the fans to give some back rather then just accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiganvillain Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The rumour up here is that yesterday he was swanning around the "City" parts of manchester in a Bentley Soft Top, top down of course, playing "loud music" and high fiving anyone in a City shirt Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theunderstudy Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 He's just a dickhead. Sure he's done lots of "funny" stuff, but if I set off a shitload of fireworks in my bathroom and nearly torched my own house down, I would be viewed as a complete and utter idiot.

theunderstudy Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 If he didn't set them off a) who did and why did he let them? He is a grade-A dickhead, and a very talented footballer. I'd rather have a model professional than some person who's constantly on the back pages for something akin to pissing "MCFC" on the walls of Old Trafford and then throwing £50 at a randomer at a bus stop. As for scoring at Old Trafford twice, that does not make you a legend. That word is bandied around too much these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Modern football is pretty stupid and pointless on many levels. At least Balotelli actually provides some entertainment in amongst it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 25, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted October 25, 2011 Whoever made that video is a dick. "How loud shall we make the background music?" "Make it just loud enough so that it makes it extremely difficult for anyone to hear what he's saying. Not so loud that people turn off straight away. Just enough so that they will try and listen to it, but then get really annoyed when they can't make out what's being said" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
