Premier League - Balotelli saves boy from bullyingTue, 10 May 11:32:00 2011

The Sun reports that the Italian striker was asked for an autograph by the young fan at City's training ground, but turned the tables on the lad by asking him why he was playing truant from school.

The boy explained that he was absent because he was being bullied - sparking an incredible reaction from the 20-year-old superstar.

The City ace drove the boy and his mother to the school and demanded to speak to both the headmaster and the bully, during which he apparently mediated as the two boys buried their differences.

The unlikely knight in shining armour - who has hit the headlines all season for a string of on- and off-pitch controversies - then made the pair shake hands before he sped off in his Maserati.

"Mario feels strongly about bullying and thinks it's out of order, " a source told the paper.

"He had no qualms about sorting the mess out as he felt the lad should not be missing out on school."

I'd rather have Deschamps than Van Gaal, maybe even Conte. They are both young, play modern football are sucesful and love Juventus. We need to start a new dynasty with these guys not waste another year with mercenary Van Gaal who could be hit or miss.

So now we're all over Van Gaal? Seems a bit odd. He's supposed to take a year off and doesn't like Italian football as far as I know. Highly unlikely, but he would definitely be much better than Delneri and most mentioned 'targets' for the job, like Mazzarri.

Deschamps > Van Gaal
Van Gaal > Conte
Conte > Mazzarri, Del Neri

Based on he doesn't use a 3-5-2 like Mazzarri, and Conte was a Juventino at one time and knows the club and what its all about unlike Del Neri. I guess you can say the same thing about Ferrara but Conte believes in young players, and modern football and has brought Bari and Siena to top flight, and I think he can do better than Del Neri and Mazzarri. However, we should push for Deschamps and Van Gaal.

So, you think he can do better. Fine. But there's no grounds for saying he IS better.

And what formation he uses is irrelevant to how good he is.

Anyway, this team has the quality for CL but is just so weak mentally (plus a sorry defense and lots of injuries). Antonio Conte would be perfect for this, he is a born leader.

I guess, but c'mon a 3-5-2? That's just asking for an ass-kicking at a club like Juventus. Whereas Del Neri is stubborn at using his 4-4-2 even when the 4-3-3 was working better for us.
