Man City star tells it like it is Manchester City's Mario Balotelli has hit the headlines for good
and bad reasons since arriving in England. He did score on his debut for Citeh, but he also managed
to total his Audi R8 within a fortnight of his £22 million move from Inter Milan. Now it [...]
Mario Balotelli (S) has only been with Manchester City for a few weeks time. In that time, he's
made just one appearance for The Skyblues featuring in a Europa League Play-Off match
against FC Timisoara. Since then he's been suffering from some knee problems. However, this week
he's gone under the knife to get these problems all worked out.
It has been all downhill since that 'great' Liverpool second-place Premier League finish for
Rafa Benitez, hasn't it?
And now after a sour end to Benitez's six-year reign at Anfield, he was hired as a replacement
for Jose Mourinho at Inter.
Needless to say, the appointment puts Benitez in the hottest seat possible.
Off The Ball never rests in its mission to scratch around the underbelly of professional
football to find the most bizarre, humorous and inexplicable stories.
This week, Mario Balotelli reveals his three biggest regrets, Stephen Bywater apologises for his
'erotic' art installation, a Honduras goalkeeper shoots at journalists and Micah Richards and Adam
Johnson pay £12,000 for a date with Jordan.
So often in American sports you hear of super agents like Scott Boras and Drew Rosenhaus who are
more famous then some of their clients. In European football, agents play a big part, but you

that has gotten the most publicity has been Mino Raiola.
Will the new rule help England have success?
So all of the squads are in and Premier League clubs have managed to cope with the new rules on
their squads. On the face of things after much debate it seems as if most sides have dealt with the
rule with relative ease. But only time will tell if the rule will have its desired impact and give
England a greater quota of players to chose from.
The biggest addition to the Premiership this season isn't Mario Balotelli or
David Silva. It's the Premier League's 25-man squad rule.
Now that the dust has settled on who's in and who's out (final squad cuts for the first half of
the season were announced last week), we think it's a good time to chime in with our two cents on
the matter.
They say this is Lady Gaga, but it looks more like a poor Finnish attempt at drag.

Mario Balotelli has hardly had the best of starts to life in England since his £24 million move
from Inter Milan. Despite scoring on his debut, the Italian youngster has also written off his Audi
R8 and picked up an injury that requires surgery and is likely to keep him out for six weeks.

"Aston Villa is not a club on the same level as Liverpool, let's be objective and honest. It's a
club that according to me has belonged between seventh and 12th place in the Premier League."
Gerard Houllier endears himself to his new supporters. For the record, Aston Villa have finished in
the top six for nine out of 18 seasons in the Premier League.
