Mario Balotelli could be forced out of English football , or any other fair playing football for that matter

Mario Balotelli's agent has claimed that his client could be forced out of English football for all the unfair treatment he gets (what a load of....).
Mario blowing hot and cold at City will not be a loss. He's like any half decent footballer who can play good when they want to. He has to loose the ego if he's going to stay in the Premier League. Silly mistake and stupid behavior dont do ones career any good look at Joey Barton, mind you Barton isnt any good any way. Even Rooney has tried to clam down (TRIED) and there is a difference in his game.

Balotelli charged over 'stamp'

The 21-year-old's injury-time penalty gave City a 3-2 win, but earlier he appeared to stamp on Scott Parker.
Following a dismissal earlier this season Balotelli faces a four-match ban, but any unsuccessful appeal could result in a longer suspension.
Joleon Lescott will not be punished after a clash with Younes Kaboul.
Lescott caught Kaboul in the face with his forearm in a separate incident at the Etihad Stadium.
Balotelli, who has until 1800 GMT on Wednesday to respond to the charge, came on as a 65th-minute substitute against Spurs.
He was booked for a foul on Benoit Assou-Ekotto, but after escaping punishment from referee Howard Webb following his clash with Parker, the striker was fouled by Ledley King in the final minute of added time and converted the resulting penalty.
If he accepts his charge, Balotelli will miss Wednesday's Carling Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool at Anfield.
