Monday Cannon Fodder: Ed Kranepool edition

Good morning, internets! Ben’s off today, and he asked me to fodder in his absence, so I will be doing my cannon foddery best to fill in, but those are some big shoes to fill. Hopefully I can fill them OK.

Mario Balotelli scored twice for Nice this weekend, and afterwards said that playing for Liverpool was the “worst mistake of his life”. And this is a guy who set his bathroom on fire trying to shoot fireworks out the window.
