      Why always Balotelli? Because you're crazy that's why.

      Mario Balotelli.  Two words, too many stories.  The chances of him leaving the Premier League seem to increase with every passing day.  But if he does leave I for one will be absolutely gutted.

      Roberto Mancini who has gone from playing the disappointed father in this excellent saga to the angry employer, left Balotelli out of the squad that travelled to Newcastle at the weekend.  Mancini has claimed that the reason he didn't travel is his form, “At this moment, Mario is not in good form and for this reason he is at home." he told the Telegraph.  What lies below this is that Manchester City fined Balotelli two weeks wages for missing more than a fifth of the games played last season through suspension.  He recently tried to appeal this, Manchester City rejected his appeal and he is facing a tribunal on Wednesday.  That is why he was sitting at home watching Loose Women, Roberto.

      Long story short, Balotelli will be on his way in January.  AC Milan are thought to be interested.  Frankly, good luck to them.  Mind you if I had the money I'd buy him too just to have him around and in answer to the question famously posed on your t-shirt Mario, it's always you because you continually put yourself at the centre of things.  But I still love you for it, you loon.
