| Quote: Roddy B "No, he probably wouldn't. I remember Robbie Keane trying to flick in a chance for us against Atletico Madrid a few years back, if he just took it like normal, he would have scored, but he tried something fancy and missed. Wasn't hauled off.
Let's put it this way, if Tevez tried that, would he have hauled him off? Would he have hauled Toure off?
The fact he hauled Balotelli off is what makes it so bizarre. Balotelli is renowned for his fragile temperament, he can lose it in a blink of an eye and he can hold a grudge. He isn't like your model pro, he doesn't get on with it, he sulks and he loses his frustration regularly on the pitch. Me personally, if I'd have seen something like that happen in a pre-season friendly, I'd have just laughed, because it's a time for exhibition stuff. If Balotelli got sent off, then I'd have bollocked him in the dressing room, but publicly losing it and publicly humiliating a player does nobody any favours, especially over a meaningless game.'"
Tevez + Toure have earned enough respect and proven themselves on a consistent enough basis to be able to get away with it. Balotelli knows he is already on thin ice with his attitude and general approach to football and then he does that. |

Wrexham FC have called off two friendlies. Players decided not to play after being told they won't be paid. Why do I get the feeling that this time next year there will be blokes wearing hi-vis vests, hard hats, drinking mugs of tea on the Racecourse?

When you read some of the stories about Balotelli, about his background and his reaction to 'authority', you know there's a right and wrong way to do things. As I said, Mancini lost it and handled it in the wrong way, it doesn't matter how many times he's tried other approaches, the one he used in the LA friendly (of all occasions) shouldn't be used until Mario is mature enough. You won't convince me otherwise. My fingers are firmly in my ears! |

Agreed, apparantley it were PSG or Chelsea, would of easily benefited more at Chelsea. PSG in the money now though after being bought by a Qatari group in May. |

Should have waited for Juve/Inter/Milan/Roma to come in for him. |

Do you not reckon he'd suit a different league then Rob, i.e. La Liga or Premier League? |

Stoke 1-0 up on Hajduk Split
Regarding Stoke, I know Talksport are deliberately stupid to generate calls, but Alvin Martin claiming that Stoke could give Barcelona a good game because of their style of play earlier, I nearly choked.

Dunno about England. He plays the game in a way that doesn't really suit over here. He slows things down, dictates the pace, but he sort of requires the free roaming role to do so. He'd suit Spain and possibly France, but Italy suits him really well. Germany could suit him in an odd way, but Bayern don't need him. He should stay at Palermo for a year, every big club chops and changes, he should play the waiting game instead of stepping down to PSG. |

Is he basing that on Barça drawing with Hadjuk Split at the weekend? I really hope he is.
Watch out for Thiago this season  |

I am one to dismiss Stoke. I hate them and I hope they get relegated this year. Absolute scum. |
