Manchester City players want Mario Balotelli BARRED from Sunday's title party.

The Daily Star says several stars want Balotelli kept out of the squad for this weekend's final game and potential title celebrations.

They have grown tired of the Italian's erratic behaviour and feel he shouldn't be involved.

Balotelli was axed from the squad for last weekend's win at Newcastle following more lurid headlines about him and escort girls.

A Blues source revealed: "Some senior members of the squad are no longer on speaking terms with Mario because while they were preparing for the biggest fixtures in our recent history, he was up to his old tricks again.

"They hope the manager leaves him out altogether for the title decider against QPR on Sunday."
