Barton is a Balotelli fan
Posted Saturday, December 10, 2011 by The Sun
JOEY BARTON admits that he is 'really amused' by Manchester City bad-boy Mario Balotelli.
Both players have created plenty of headlines for all the wrong reasons while wearing the City shirt — and Barton admits that some of the things 'Super Mario' gets up to 'are a bit worrying'.
The QPR midfielder said: "I find him really amusing. He's just a young boy trying to find his way in life.
"Some of the things he has done are petty but they get blown out of all proportion.
"On the flipside of that you've got golden boy Jack Wilshere, who's done a lot worse things than Balotelli yet it's massively played down.
"He and Balotelli are having the same sort of problems off the pitch but one is perceived to be a goody two shoes!"
