I don't want Balotelli to leave. He'll come good. At least he hasn't bitten anyone yet.

In a world of one dimensional strikers (where the actual world generally requires more) he's not even good.
he has come from another time - when the centre forwards were just big bully boys - kind of takes me back to the old days of the then typical CF

Did you see the goals he scored against Swansea??? Those were brilliant. The second one especially he was basically at a standstill and had to bend his neck back to get his head on the ball and still had enough power and precision to score. It was world class.
He is much more of a threat then Lambert.

Maybe that is why I like him so much. I am 6'2" 205lbs and I like to play striker like a big bully. 
I like kinda old school players Andy Carroll and Chieck Tiote etc. I can appreciate a good enforcer like De Jong, Tiote, Barton, etc or strikers like Carroll or Crouch who are big and good in the air.

you may not be old enough to remember this famous 66'photo of big hard man Dave Mackay and that little Leeds squirt Billy Bremner - these were good times

You know they did an experiment at CERN which proved that, if Roy Keane is after you, the only safe place in the universe to stand is behind Graeme Souness.

I am not old enough to have been alive then but I do know the photo.
Speaking of hard men, I do remember this man (although I was just born with this picture was taken).
