    There's no way that Mario Balotelli's posting these, but they're from his Twitter feed:

    please log in to view this image


    "QPR set to sign Yun Suk-Young from Korea. In reply, Arsenal are looking into Korean midfielder Fu Kin No-Wan."

    And one that he's retweeted:

    Ashley Cole shoots people, John Terry shags his teammates wives and Eden Hazard kicks children - Chelsea should definitely go on Jeremy Kyle.

    Hi DL. It was clear that the Chelsea players had mentioned this to Foy. How do you know that he didn't already have the fourth official on the case? he was hardly likely to prance around the pitch talking to ballboys.

    The other aspect that I think is being wrongly reported is that while the ballboy was hardly acting in a speedy manner the reason that he ended up laying on the ball was because Hazard tried to wrestle it away from him and they got in a tangle. If Hazard had gone nowhere near him then the game would have re-started quicker anyway. The ballboys were slightly out of order. Hazard's reaction was well over the top and deserved the red card for violent conduct and probably an enhanced ban.

    I still can't see it. I can see white on his top. But that white doesn't move and remains on him after Hazard has his dig. The only part of ball i can see is a tiny slither that appears after the incident and is mostly obscured by the ballboy.

    You can cry as much as you like about ballboys Chelsea,but I guess this is one way to forget you lost to a better team!

    What an interesting final? PL Swansea v 4th division Bradford!But don't think you've won it yet Swansea.
    I remember when the Arsenal found they were playing 3rd Division Swindon in the same final many years ago and thought it was won before they went on the field!!!!
    Result:- Arsenal 1 Swindon 3 (the Don Rogers final they called it!)

    Do you seriously think we care about losing a Carling Cup semi? Bigger fish to fry. Swansea deserved to go through without question.

    It will be a great final with 2 teams that have a fantastic opportunity but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't want Bradford to win it, especially in light of last night

    What strikes me is that Cantona treated the fan as a human being. The fan apparently said something very insulting, and Cantona reacted as he would in a bar and maybe on the street. Hazard treated the ballboy as a subhuman: something to be kicked because it did not serve him as expected. It's like punching out a fast food worker because he screwed up your order. To me it revealed a mindset where violence is a preferred tool in the big-time footballer's human interaction toolkit. And, yes, I think it deserves a bigger punishment than Cantona's assault. It's ghastly.

    Round out the story with the ballboy living every lad's football dream of rolling around on the pitch feigning injury to get a player sent off, and the incident throws the state of the game into stark (albeit very funny) relief.

    Youre right, It's not balotelli mate. It's a parody, but it's got about half a million odd followers. It's one of those accounts that hit the tipping point with followers, so every new potential follower thought it was real. As a result, that potential follower then followed the account, and the process continued. Now there's so many followers that everyone who's about to follow him just presumes it's him.

    It's a funny account to keep your eye on though!

    Come on DL.You wanted that final as much as we did!It doesn't make sense going all the way to a 2 legged semi final and not caring about losing.
    I remember we lost to Chelsea in the same situation when Cyril knowles went to kick a Hudson freekick off his goal line and found he had a hole in his foot and we missed another final!
    We were ticked and so was Alan Gilzean who boycotted theafter match banquet for a seat at a bar!!!!!

    I don't think anyone has debated we lost to the better side on the day.
