Yes, that's right. The vast majority of his antics were made up by City fans. They don't call them 'the liars' for nothing. I did not see the hype over Balotelli at all tbh, the only thing he ever did that I laughed at was the backheel in pre-season. He didn't look all that impressive when I watched him play either.

That's what I was hoping for mate. And by hope I mean, not expecting anything.

This lad is saying all the right things though:

"My first task will be to integrate myself with my new team-mates and to help those around me to grow and to build with them a strong team. I'm thrilled to be part of this."


If you look at the table, we have the worst form. If Lambert can somehow instill some confidence into the young players then it can be turned around. We were doing OK up until the 8-0.
