Hah, do that Balotelli.

I was gonna say, no wonder he was pissed at Mario.

Balotelli's didn't go in, that's why

That was rather good.

Saw it live. :D
Edit: well, live as in on live TV. I wasn't actually there.

That much power on a backheel...stunning stuff.
2
I had to watch it a couple more times to understand how he got that much power on the power. Amazing
2
A stiff leg... This is like all those billiards goals, but neater.

Whoa, that was pretty special.
2
That was special.

Jesus, he only stopped about 10 years ago too.

I remember either Beppe Signore or Enrico Chiesa scored a carbon-copy of this ON THE SAME DAY. Would really appreciate video confirmation/refutation, as my memory is hazy.

It's even more impressive when you use Andy Carroll as your benchmark.

I thought that it was a backheel but if you look again closely you can see that he waves it in with an imaginary yellow card.

You Man City fans are such good sports. I'm glad that you enjoyed my joke.

Mancini was a legendary footballer. Incredible talent.
EDIT: Highlight Reel
If you notice his temper, it may well help to explain his management style against Balotelli. And his argument with Moyes.
Also good to note, Mancini was so respected at Sampdoria that, as a player, he helped interview applicants for the vacant managers position.
Probably the most handsome manager in the EPL at the moment too...just saying.
"Excuse me?"
"You can't be serious!?"
"I applaud your braveness to make such a statement"
"But Please!"
"...He is pretty handsome though"
I wish I could pull off a white dress shirt like the second to last one.
"Anyone can do it if they have the self confidence... and if they are me of course!"
Seriously. Absolute perfect fit.
You sir deserve a medal!
"Please, I have enough medals."
Even the name oozes sexy. 'Villash Boash'. Say it out loud. Go on. Mmm.
"Put your hand up if you have a sexy name."

no homo...
DAT GOAL.
I was going to call it 'DAT VOLLEY' but yeah, that's a pretty unusually awesome strike of the football.
4-5 of those are of the highest pantheon of goals. Especially the volleys, the cross body volley... amazing.
2:17 is unreal technical skill.
I had no idea Mancini was so good.
Looking?
That's what all our moms said.
Phwoar he was good, unlike the shitty music for seemingly every football highlights video.
