Manchester City’s Mario Balotelli visits his old club Inter Milan to wish its caretaker manager, Andrea Stramaccioni, good luck as he replaces the fired Claudio Ranieri.
SHINE ON, YOU CRAZY DIAMOND. (This shall be my official tag for all Balotelli posts from here on out.)

In case you were wondering about this Raffaella that Mario loves, here’s all you really need to know. The Italian model once planned to sell her virginity for one million euros. Unfortunately, there was no investigative followup.
I mean, obviously. The only thing that would be less surprising than this is if Mario loved a couch he had named Raffaella.
Yes, the headline beneath is correct. He stopped at a school to use the restroom, walked around the school’s campus, and talked to students and teachers. SHINE ON, YOU CRAZY DIAMOND.

He’s the best entertainment in soccer this year, even if the rumors are false. They should be true just because they’re awesome.
Shine on, you crazy diamond.
There was this big derby today, Manchester United vs Manchester City. Mario Balotelli aka Super Mario scored 2 goals in City’s victory of 6-1. “Why always me ?”
This is not turning into a Balotelli blog, I promise.
Mario Balotelli is not just an Earth treasure, he’s a UNIVERSAL treasure. Truly.
Never change, Mario. Never change. Football would be a little less interesting.
In case you were wondering what all the hubbub on Twitter was this afternoon regarding Mario Balotelli, here’s the video evidence of his colossal douchebaggery. He was rightfully substituted after this, and then had the temerity to not only show up his teammates and manager, but also remove his shirt on the bench and then not turn up for the second half.
This young man has a lot of growing up to do. From the article on the Mail:
The City manager replaced Balotelli moments after the Italian striker wasted a one-on-one chance by attempting to score with an extravagant backheel.
As soon as the ball flew wide, Mancini jumped angrily to his feet and instructed James Milner to warm up before taking Balotelli off minutes later.
To make matters worse, Balotelli then questioned his manager’s decision, prompting an embarrassing touchline scene in front if baffled American spectators.
Mancini has supported Balotelli through thick and thin since persuading City to pay £23million for the Italian international last summer.
