    Also Roma and Chievo fans have a chant saying "If you jump up and down Mario Balotelli dies" and they all do the bouncy bouncy to it!

    Finally someone see's this, hes not pish but he his overated imo.

    On balotelli yeah i agree he got some sick abuse in italy and i lost alot of respect for totti after he kicked him, but he is a * aswell wearing an ac milan top when he played for inter.

    he hasnt had a great season since 07, and ronaldo has showed hes on different level to him at madrid. And now hes seems abit injury prone aswell, world class player on his day but its not very often tbh.

    Milan's ruined Kaka by playing him injured too much because they didn't have anybody of good class to replace him.

    Once he gets his fitness back together and a strong run in the team he will prove his class.

    A reckon Kaka stood out because for a while he was the only real flamboyant player at Milan. He did carry them on his own sometimes but now he is just part of a team/squad and not the main man

    For me the following are over rated - Adebayor, Gareth Barry, John Terry, John Fleck, Jelavic, Carrick, Nani and Metzelder. I dont see the big fuss about Pirlo and Aguero either

    Can't agree with you there with Nani, I think he's coming on in his game Down at Man U, He's only 23 as well
    Great Player to be in the future imo.

    Thing with Nani is he has been at Man U for a good few years now and is still diving about showing his petulent side. He also likes to showboat when thers no need when he cuts that out he will be as good as he is being labled now and maybe better.

    Dont get me wrong hes a good player, but he has hardly made me sit and say 'what a player he is'

    pirlo at his peak was probably the best in the world at his job. His job was just to keep things ticking over. He was the lynchpin. He never really had to sprint around or get involved in physical aspects because he seen everything two steps ahead, before it happened.

    He isn't as good as a couple of years ago but still think he is the closest to Xavi at controlling a game.

    One thing I always remember about Pirlo was him at Parkhead a couple of years ago; collected the ball in the Celtic box had three people instantly trying to close him down. He didn't move at all and managed to send them the wrong way.

    I couldn't believe it. Thing's like that are really impressive IMO; somebody who is calm collected and knows exactly what he is doing at all times on the pitch.

    Plus he can do things like this.
