ITALY striker Mario Balotelli is back in the headlines after his latest purchase was revealed to the world via Twitter.
The former Manchester City forward, famous for letting fireworks off inside his house among other incidents, is now the proud owner of a pet pig.
"Finally my little pig arrived! She is only 2 month old! Is a she but i called her SUPER," Balotelli announced on Twitter.
Now back home in Italy with AC Milan, Balotelli seemed to be somewhat confused as to the sex of his new furry friend.
The 22-year-old tweeted: "Actually can t find the willy so i think is a she ahahahaha but maybe a he! Ahahah".

What has the mighty man been up too?

Controversial striker Mario Balotelli's future at Manchester City was cast into doubt once again on Thursday after photographs emerged showing him in an apparent training-ground bust-up with manager Roberto Mancini.

Media reports claimed that Mancini lost his temper with his Italian compatriot after Balotelli made a reckless challenge on teammate Scott Sinclair at the club's Carrington training base on the edge of Manchester.

The pictures, published widely in the British media, show Mancini gripping Balotelli's orange bib in an apparent rage, before the two men are separated by members of City's coaching staff.

:lol: hahahaha Jog on, I didn't realize we weren't allowed to differ in opinions here, my bad.
I don't hate Mario because he plays for City, I disliked him when he played in Italy, I just don't like his personality tbh and think he is deliberately trying to make a name for himself with these incidents. Plus there's always got to be at least one alternative prick who goes against the over hype.
To be honest I hate that football is lacking in classic characters like the old days but I don't personally think Balotelli fits that profile, I think he's just a spoiled attention seeking twat, but that's just my opinion if that's alright with you ual.

Naww, how precious. Have a cry.

Just a pity none of the United supporters at the school couldn't get a shot at the cunts knees, I have never been able to stand the bloke or his attention seeking antics

Balotelli takes school toilet break

Mario Balotelli gave students of a college in Manchester a day to remember after turning up unannounced and asking if he could use their toilet.

The eccentric Manchester City striker has entertained English football fans and media alike with his unpredictable behaviour, which has previously included driving into a women's prison, throwing darts at youth team players and reportedly giving a homeless person £1000 after a successful night at a casino.

For his latest trick, Balotelli parked up his Bentley at Xaverian College in Rusholme and went into the canteen to ask students if there was anywhere he could relieve himself.

After using the toilet he spoke with teachers in the staff room and then walked around the college being followed by hordes of excited Manchester City fans before leaving 20 minutes after he had first arrived.

"Xaverian was delighted to receive a surprise visit from Mario, who chatted to some of the students at one of Manchester's most successful colleges," a spokesman for the college said. "We weren't able to enrol him on any courses, but he is welcome back anytime."

A number of understandably thrilled students were quoted in the Manchester Evening News, including Edward Gasson, who was sitting in the canteen when Balotelli turned up.

"Balotelli parked his Bentley outside then came in and was asking where the toilets were, then he went to the teacher's staff room," he said. "After that he was just walking round campus like he owned the place and everyone was following him around.

"I'm a City fan so it was amazing to see him but it was a bit ridiculous for him to come here - you would never expect it to happen."

What a legend!

BBC appreciation thread. For shame.

Guaranteed to be in the Euro 2012 squad.

Unless he's away on national duty for Italy... :(

Balotelli is an idiot who can't even work out a training bib.

Pathetic fanboys.
