This is a collection of ten “if Balotelli scores…” tweets, all cavalier promises made just before the out-of-favour Liverpool striker scored the winner against Spurs in the Premier League last night.

PLUS!

When Mario Balotelli came on as a substitute for Daniel Sturridge in the 74th minute with the game tied at 2-2, many people seemed unsure of his ability to find the net.

So unsure, in fact, that they seemed willing to make various pledges of what they would do if indeed he were to score the winning goal.

Did these people follow through with their vows after the unexpected strike? In many cases, let’s hope not.

Check out this selection of “if Balotelli scores…” tweets, before his shock winner in Liverpool’s 3-2 win over Tottenham:
