Strange, mad, year this 2011, isn't it. But definitely positive so far. The Gallagher "Blues" Brothers back with their albums and tours, Manchester City back to win something after 35 long years, AC Milan back to win too, after 3 years. While at least I've become the biggest fan that Liam and Jenson Button could ever have, I lost my supporting faith in Noel and Lewis Hamilton, I was a big fan.
The (almost) "first black driver in F1" had a very bad year, and now is also single (that is not so bad :).
On the contrary, our other black hero Balotelli is having a very good year, "man of the match" @ FA Cup final, destroying Man United so easily and becoming a positive character.
Sometimes I speak bad of other countries for some reason, but of course I also speak bad of mine sometimes. Some people here (but not only in Italy) support some celebrities "because they're black", that is so stupid, in my opinion (who's the racist?). In England they usually (but not always, of course) don't even look at the race. I would anyway support Balotelli if he was white, I would anyway talk shit of Hamilton if he was white.
Fabio Capello saluted Manchester City hero Mario Balotelli as a reformed character.
And he praised City manager Roberto Mancini for keeping faith with the bad-boy striker.
England boss Capello said: "Balotelli is no longer the person he was a little while ago.
"He accepts referees' decisions and has put himself at the team's disposal.
"It is due reward for Mancini, who has wanted to keep him in the team despite having read all those terrible things about him.
"Balotelli is a player of huge class and his coach can strike it rich with him.
"That is providing the player is prepared to be of service to his team — both on the pitch and during training."
Formula 1 ace Lewis Hamilton says he's been through a "tough time" since splitting from singer Nicole Scherzinger.
The Sun exclusively revealed the pair had called it a day last week after four years together.
Lewis, 26, said: "These times are sent to try you. And it's about how you pull through them."
He is still in touch with the beauty, 33, saying: "We're friends and we can move forward. I have my family who are helping. So I feel pretty good."
Nicole wouldn't discuss her ex as she filmed Alan Carr's Chatty Man Channel 4 show.
An audience member said: "It was embarrassing. Lewis was what we wanted to know about."
