Mario Balotelli

I think Super Pippo has been rumbled as an Asturian teenager sitting behind a computer fantasising about an exciting life being an Italian architect and Milan supporter.

[Super Pippo]

my expereince of milan fans at parkhead is alot of banners with skulls and 'rosssoneri' on them

Yeah, thats Brigate Rossonere, the remaining ultra group, the skull is their crest. It might look menacing, but really they are pretty non violent. Considered to be the best large ultra group in Italia - for behaviour anyway.

No, I think you sit at home, jerk yourself off, and dream of better times when Milan wasn't such an embarassment. Like I said, never heard anybody call it sansa. All my Italian buddies call it the Meazza. They refuse to call it San Siro.

only milan fans call it sansa. inter fans refuse to call it that they have a differnt name-giuseppe meazza

Mourinho may be tactically found out in Serie A, but I still regard him as one of the best managers for getting the best out of his players. If he is painting a bleak picture of "Super Mario's" prospects, then I'd say there is little anyone can do for him.

Recoba II, so much talent, so little brains, and no will to improve either.

for me, mourinho's strength always was his man-management.

tactically, he's good. but not great. the fact that he has more gears than 442, 4411 and 451 means he seems like a tactical genius to the british press. but it was never his great contribution to chelsea or porto. it was the instilling of a winning mentality that, in chelsea's case, has outlasted him by 3 years and counting (at porto his team was sold off after he left so that's why they never endured).

but yeah, there's a CHANCE of him being recoba II. it's too early to write him off just yet. young players generally have a watershed year at 22/23. if balotelli is still like this when he hits that age then it's likely he'll never reach his full potential.

tbh unless jose can sort inter's squad out (surely mission impossible given the club's various neuroses) I can't see him doing that at inter. being of african heritage and trying to convince italy that you truly are italian has gotta be difficult enough without playing in a team founded on the first principle of foreign talent.

Spot on. Mourinho looked great in England, but in Italy every coach is a tactical expert, and therefore he doesn' look as "special".

thanks for the info

Missed this.

Not the case, people who don't know anything about it misunderstand the full name of Stadio Guiseppe Meazza San Siro as a combination of both clubs name for the stadium. It's not, no set of fans call it the Meazza, that was a name that the ground was honoured with - a player of both clubs. We all call it San Siro, the name the stadium has always had, its not an issue of one or the other.

So do answer the question, when were you last at the Sansa then? With all your Italian friends?

 

[Interista]

Never been. Was gonna go last year but something got in the way. Saw Inter play Helsingborg at the Olympia though. Why do you ask? What relevance does it have to the Balotelli discussion?

 

[Antimilan]

Lacks sportsmanship and really too much overrated.... he's not bad, but neither that good, how some people say !

 

[barcetia]

The biggest talent of Italy, no doubt about it. He embarrassed Chelsea tonight. If he had not have those attitude issues, I would expect him to be one of our transfer targets but his personality and Barca's ideology don't go hand in hand. Unfortunately. Absolutely wicked player.

 

[House of Flies]

Love balotelli. Another player that I think is of better class than our graduates only if he gets his mind out of a gutter.

 

[veryfatchocobo]

Like my opinion of Drogba, he's absolute class in terms of football skills. His attitude isn't good at all though.
