Costa

I like how the ref appears to staring right it.

 

[Buddha]

Regardless of the 'punch' it's a retrospective red anyway eh?

Surely a 3 match ban?

Chelsea player ... which means, nothing.

So, Diego costa. Looks like the scouts got that one right, would have been a good replacement for Suarez.

 

[Silver Sean]

If it was Suarez it would be all over the back pages. He's a Chelsea player so nowt will even get mentioned.

 

[Halmeister]

It's hardly been mentioned. Most pundits I've seen talking about it have laughed it off as necessary aggression from a top player. Much like when Dier and the Villa players were snapping Balotelli in two and labelling it as a "welcome back to the premier league" as they chuckled.

The double standards and the hypocrisy is ridiculous. The only thing I can't get my head around is why? Why do we seem (not "seem" we bloody well do!) get a bum ride from the media when the likes of Chelsea and United and Arsenal all get looked upon favourably?

 

[Holle]

They'll call it a cultural misunderstanding and a term of endearment where he comes from.

End of.

 

[jimmy]

It surely isn't the last incident he'll be involved in. Be patient and it will come.

Unfortunately it looks like Costa and Mourinho are made for each other. He would not be nearly as effective in any other EPL team.

 

[Wizardry]

Wow, the premier league have to take retrospective action over that, surely?

You're kidding, right?

I understand the desperation to see such a prominent figure in one of our rivals suspended but that would be a travesty. If a defender is holding on to a striker in that fashion he's fair game IMO and deserves what he gets.

Costa tried to get him off and he he tried to make the most of it.

He punched/elbowed him in the face...

 

[Wizardry]

Wishful thinking or the quality on the display is terrible. He was being held, tried to use momentum to throw the defender away from him, defender slips and takes some of the shove on his face.
He initiated the hold and has to live with the consequences IMO.

 

[Frogfish]

Just like I mentioned re. this cunt moving within a virtual 1m radius whenever Chelsea attack :

 

[jimmy]

Well, a goal is a goal is a goal.
They have loads of talent and creativity in that team, and if they have Costa to put the ball in the net, that's all they need.

He has been an injury risk the last 2-3 weeks. Sooner or later his hamstring will do a Walcott and he will be out for a while injured.
