Mancini and Balotelli have a scrap in training!

Witnesses are saying that the Man City boss had an almighty bust up with Mario Balotelli in training today after he took exception to a challenge on Clichy. Mancini rollocked the player who had a go back - then the fight started!

So for today’s big football story – the picture story of the training-ground bust-up between Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and striker Mario Balotelli – step forward Mike Keegan. A big hat-tip to the Manchester Evening News reporter.

Check out his @mikekeeganmen timeline for great detail of the showdown...

"Just spoken to someone who witnessed the Balotelli/Mancini bust-up. Explosive stuff."

"Witness said tackle was on Sinclair, not Clichy. Mancini rollocked Balotelli who gesticulated as he walked off prompting tussle."

"Balotelli then seen to speed off less than 10 minutes later in his camouflaged Bentley."

"Witness: 'Mancini looked like he tried to throw him on the floor but he couldn't get him down.' Staggering stuff."

"Witness: 'The coaches ran in to separate them but Mancini was having none of it. & kept trying to break free & have a go at him again.'

"Witness added that Balotelli challenge did not look like a bad one. 'It was wet & he went down but there didn't look like any malice.'"

"Waiting on a reaction from #mcfc. Calls are in."

"Witness: Pair led off in separate directions. Balotelli did change before speeding off."

Just embarrassing. I wonder which one will be shown the door? I hope it's Balotelli, the cocky little shite. Although Mancini could fall out with most laid back person in the world.

Kneel before Zod.

Personally I love Balotelli he's great entertainment both on and off the pitch, I couldn't care less if his actions disrupt the City team.
