[b]After Mario Balotelli's red card yesterday, and Wayne Rooney's extended run without a yellow card, Ralph Ellis makes a case for discipline being a vital factor in this season's title race.[/b]
To buy one brilliant but truculent striker might be considered bad luck; To get two borders on carelessness; To have signed three in the space of as many years means somebody at Manchester City simply doesn't learn his lessons.
Blame [b]Mario Balotelli[/b], as some have done this morning, for losing the Premier League title if you like. His red card in the final moments of the 1-0 defeat at Arsenal yesterday that left Manchester United with an eight point advantage at the top of the table was after all pretty damn stupid.
But has mad Mario really been any worse an influence on City's...

I recently read an interview in which the actor [b]Danny Dyer[/b] was moaning about being typecast in roles as gangsters and [b]football hooligans[/b]. You'd be sympathetic towards him, apart from the fact that when he's not acting, Dyer constantly fronts documentaries in which he meets gangsters and football hooligans.
If you always play to type, then you can't expect people to think of you in any other way. Which is why [b]Mario Balotelli[/b] can't complain when people label him as a nutter.
'Super Mario' is stereotyped as a bad boy footballer, with an explosive talent that is entirely in keeping with such a loose cannon. The Italian striker certainly lived up to his reputation by scoring two goals and getting sent off in Manchester City's win over West Brom.
City are appealing...
