Matt Le Tissier @mattletiss7 · 15h15 hours agoIs no one noticing john o shea having 2 kicks at costa before he reacts?

@BBCMOTD watch it again and see john o sheas right foot after he attempts first tackle. If im not mistaken he takes a swipe at costa

Costa shouldnt have reacted but why does o shea get away with a blatant kick at him with the ball gone
Well said Le Tiss.

He has to do what he feels is best for him and his family. If that means moving to a rival in the same city, so be it.
No matter who he decides to play for, it doesn't lessen his contribution to Chelsea in any way.

I love his look of innocence after that first push. It's like 'what did I do?'
Seriously though, this guy is supremely good at the dark arts of football. No wonder all the teams in Spain hated him when he played there.
I'm glad he plays for Chelsea. Wouldn't want him to be on the opposite side against us. The only advice I'd love to give him is to be more careful with his fouling. He could have got sent off yesterday because some of his shoves were worthy of being carded.

I like that picture very much, Costa like a warrior
Costa Chelsea's no 9

From Decembers month of FourFourTwo. Proof he has been a kid once!

Good news Costa not included in spain squad for upcoming fixtures

Just play Iva on right wing and Azpi, Luis as fullbacks.
Iva was playing like a winger anyway.

Today

Reminds me of a soap opera plot

there's a reason why he calls him 'Capitano'
Mourinho did talk about him after Shrews

edit: also a quote from the UCL interview that I really love
“Defeat can be useful for you if - and only if - you draw important lessons from it. My hunger to win is one of my fundamental assets. If one day I lose that desire then I’ll not be useful any more.” — Diego Costa

Apparently, he's going to be on the ballon d'Or shortlist announced today after his outstanding season with Atletico! Congrats.

We missed him tremendously yesterday. Hope he's back soon.

I haven't seen a single photo where he looks young

Chelsea are the most likely English team to win the Champions League due to their past results. And of course, having a coach who's won the competiton twice before doesn't hurt

There is no way Costa will not play the United game if he sits out against Maribor. I think Jose is already starting the mind games.

Yes, it's simply beautiful.
I always used to think he was a brute force striker. After watching him play regularly this season, it's obvious that he's so much more than that. Yes, he's strong and uses his strength to bully defenders but he's also good with his positioning, times his runs into the box well, and is generally aware of what's going on around him. 32 million is a huge bargain. Compared to the other transfers, he would have been worth closer to 45-50 million.
The scary part for other teams is that I don't think he has fully developed as a striker yet. He could still get better!
