The first thing I thought when I read that Mario Balotelli had been linked with a move to Barnsley was that it was a little bit too near to where I live! I don’t want him coming around to my house in Harrogate and setting fireworks off in my kitchen again like he did when we were Manchester City team-mates a few years ago. It looks like Mario is heading for Brazil not Barnsley in any case, but I’d love to see him back in English football and we are still really good friends. The game appeared too easy for himApologies to Tykes fans but I don’t think he would ever have joined Barnsley anyway, and he is far too good to be in the Championship. A lot of people love to be around him because he is Mario, while I see beyond that.
