The Guardian were reporting similar last night too.

Mancini is the worst manager Balotelli could possibly have, but to be fair it is hard to manage him.

Mancini says Balotelli will face no punishment.

That's not hyperbole at all.

Even worse was the Mayor saying the Milan players stopping the game, was worse than the fans racially abusing Boateng et al.

Can see them having trouble offloading a few of the players though, they wont want to move on and get less money so unless they have relegation clauses in their contracts reducing wages then QPR will be fucked

I'm only really thinking of the likes of Hoilett, Faurlin, Granero, Taarabt. I doubt there'd be a shortage of takers for them.

It's the likes of SWP, Bosingwa, Cissé and Park Ji-Sung they'll have problems with. I doubt there's anybody stupid enough to try and buy them.

Just because it's annoying doesn't mean it's wrong.

Frankly so long as it's in-front of their own fans and it's not an elaborate dance-routine (as with Walcott and Gibbs, which was annoying) they can celebrate how they want.
