Manchester City don’t have their troubles to seek just at the moment, but look on the bright side Pep – at least you don’t have Mario Balotelli organising the Christmas party this year.
That was the doomsday scenario that FourFourTwo reported on back in its Christmas 2011 issue, as they imagined some of the ‘high jinks’ that Mario and his mates might get up to.
“By chucking a lit match into a bumper box of family fireworks every 20 minutes, Mario lends the night a real frisson of excitement and exhilarating terror.”
Or how about, “As a magical centrepiece, Mario has set fire to about £80million worth of unused bank notes (courtesy of Sheikh Mansour) in the middle of the room. Like a heartwarming scene from ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’, several first-teamers gather round the extravagant bonfire and gaze in wide-eyed wonderment as the pretty flames flicker and the smell of burning cash wafts through the air.”
It sounds a bit livelier than the party they’re likely to get this time around anyway. Get your invitation to the party Mario might have made here.
