Balotelli is nuts but I love him!!
No problems there!
They look like sparring rabbits in the first pic!
Wow. Headline news! This happens at all clubs from time to time what a waste of cyberspace!
Elements of the media are desperate to highlight any possible negative...This happens regularly in training at all clubs worth their salt..handbags or even just playfighting.. This just shows the boys are fighting fit.. CTWD..
It's good to see they're taking the training seriously and not poncing about.
Happens every day!
Looks like a scene off Springwatch, rutting season must have arrived early in Carrington.
Using the most inflammatory photo as the main picture failing to mention in the text that the matter is resolved in the other photos.
Atleast we can rely on our own local paper to not fan the flames of discontent at Eastlands.
James Milner about two weeks ago said "I arrived at the ground and there were loads of photographers there, I thought, oh no what has a player done?"
Nothing, there are always a large amount of photographers at City these days!
If Boateng got carried away and nearly injured him, fair do's, they are men for gods sake, showed a bit of passion, - never happens at other training pitches does it, wait for the Daily Mail to run it as tomorrows headline " City stars hate each other"!!
Mario Balotelli is a box of frogs.
Club in crisis! (thats what the papers will say)
well done evening news just the kind of positive story we need from our beloved local rag
Handbags at nine paces thats all it was but with the MUEN they blow it up all out of proportion because they are anti Man City.
This Peter Spencer fellow needs to cut this out and try to mandate his staff to be more impartial....
Happens at every club at some point so why make a big deal about it. MUEN feeding the national media with something else to have a go at us with...thanks. Never happens at the swamp of course does it???
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Looks like nothing to me..
Meant to add many years ago, when Tony Book was manager, at Platt Lane I saw Denis Tueart headbutt Joe Corrigan during a training session. Dennis came of worst and missed the game the following day with what was reported as " a head injury sustain during a clash of heads in training"
Couldn't wait could you MUEN?
Ha ha look at Marios expression in the second pic :D
CTID
Because there would be no story if Rio Ferdinand had hold of Wayne Rooney's throat! This IS news.
ballotelli wants out already just like robinho did.
Well done M.E.N. Hope you get your national headlines and recognitions once again dragging City through the mud.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
City Ban this rag from Eastlands.
As a side issue, what are these 'bra' things for that some players wear in training, like the one in the main photo?
MEN a new low even for you
Thats nothing you want to get down to hough end on a sunday morning
