At the beginning, when he played for Inter Milan, I used to hate him, as many people do, but often it's just because he plays for an opponent team. Now I really adore him. Footballers in England often have crazy behaviours, but they're quite boring, just getting drunk, getting arrested, cheating wives and families, fucking bitches lol... while Mario is hilarious and different, because he's just childish, mocks Rooney's bitch lol, gets so many fines to pay because of his car, etc., and he's a great player too.
If Mario's Man City teammates set fire to one of his designer suits he would probably laugh in their faces.
The Italian striker loves the Crazy Gang-style pranks that his side are getting up to.
They aren't as ruthless as those which Wimbledon boys Vinnie Jones and Dennis Wise played on each other back in the day but are enough to put a smile on Mario's usually moody mug (that's not really true - Marco).
Team-mate Yaya Toure recently taped Mario's trainers to the dressing-room ceiling.
It was revenge for Mario tripping up Ivory Coast midfielder Yaya while messing about during training.
Just like Mario did to striker Edin Dzeko in front of their team's fans as the Bosnian celebrated City's 1-0 win at Blackburn, in which he scored.
Mario's mates from home are getting in on the act, too. They've been calling his favourite Manchester restaurant, San Carlo (Italian, in Pretty Green shop street - Marco), and ordering 20 pizzas to his apartment, saying he's having a party.
A source said: "Mario loves schoolboy pranks and his Italian friends are worse than the City lads.
"They have even put in orders at pet shops while pretending to be Mario.
"They also call him and bark down the phone, winding him up about his beloved dog who's still in quarantine back in Italy."
Last week Balotelli gave £1,000 in cash to a tramp outside Manchester's 235 Casino where he had just won £25k.
Which reminds me, Man City aren't playing tonight and I do a good Scottish tramp impression: "50p to look after your car Mr Mario, pal?"
The boy Mario is without doubt the signing of the season.
