Balotelli pranks City youth team players by throwing darts at them

Remember when a remorseful Mario Balotelli admitted to Italian national team manager Cesare Prandelli last week that he "needs help"? Well, it seems he still needs it. Or he was just joking.

According to The People and Soccernet, Balotelli threw darts in the direction of Man City youth team players through a first floor window at the club's training complex because he was "bored."

Thankfully, nobody was hurt by Mario boredom and the club told Soccernet that they view the dart throwing as "a misguided prank rather than a serious transgression." Still, a club spokesman also said that, "The matter will be dealt with internally." And by that they mean Ashley Cole will be brought in to shoot him with an air rifle.
