Was Nigel De Jong A Bit Harsh With His Birthday Tweet To Mario Balotelli?

Mario Balotelli turned 24 on Tuesday, but don't worry if you forgot to wish him happy birthday because Nigel De Jong pretty much summed up everyone's thoughts in one succinct tweet.

We have a feeling that De Jong's assumption that Balotelli will suddenly reach maturity at the dawn of his 24th year may be a little bit wishful. Having said that, being his teammate at AC Milan must be absolutely exhausting.
