its a matter of taste, but I like the fact we are going for London brick and not a bowl made out of concrete, metal and glass

hmmm...see the 'bib' malarkey has been blown all out of proportion.
From him laughing with Mikel dropping it over his shoulder, it has turned into he threw the thing at the manager.
And as for the 'warm ups'...the manager did say that him and his staff controlled that and Costa did what was asked of him. Some other subs were also missing from pre match warm up.
Lots of mountains being made out of molehills here and even though Costa ain't no angel.....there seems to be a lot of buying into the media BS by jump on the bandwagon merchants on here.
No one except Chelsea staff knows what intentionally happened ref bib and missing warm up.....so until known facts come out, am afraid I will have to go by what the manager has said about Costa about the incidents...because at the moment, there is nothing else to go on

I know what you mean and it can be very frustrating however I am sure they do practice set pieces a lot and the odd lofted ball into the area rather than the lower fast ones would make a difference otherwise the set pieces become too predictable.Am sure the likes of JT and Cahill etc would have something to say after getting in position for each one then having to sprint back for nothing

Next year I will celebrate my 50th anniversary as a Chelsea fan so I've been watching this game for a long while. During that period I've heard, and read, similar comments thousands of times but people don't need to be as old as me to have come across it. I've a feeling that, even if you've been a football fan for just a couple of hours, there's a fair chance you'll have heard, or perhaps said, something very much like this. Often the point is made in the form of a question. For example, "How hard can it be just to beat the first man?"
Well, the clue to the answer can be seen in how frequently this issue comes up. Because fans need to complain about this so regularly it must mean that the answer is, "Much harder than it seems." How else can we explain the fact that professional footballers, of all clubs and nationalities, so often fail to manage it?

those quotes pale into comparison when the "negative nellies" on here get their tarnished broken fingernails into someone....even if he is the matchwinner

wish you would cut out the Maureen malarkey..not big or clever.

how do you know thats all I am bothered about???Watching the news channels with my immediate family and shocked by the goings on but it doesnt mean I can stil discuss other issues such as Costa or Chelsea fc.

10months?????? only this season.He played ok and full of confidence from Jan to end of season which included suspension and injuries.
Would have that Costa back now over this one or Torres

wish you would cut out the Maureen malarkey..not big or clever.

Oscar has had in the past spells for just a few matches at a time where he is the hardest working and best player in the team.
The amount of 'off camera' work he used to do was amazing and this covering of space and pressing use to open up other areas of the pitch for others to exploit.
For some reason this has become more sporadic recently and whether its down to fitness, bad form or just lack of effort.....who knows!!!!
But if he can regain the levels mentioned above he would once again be one the crowd favourites like before

this is not a case of who is right or wrong you phucking stupid moronic idiot.This is about FACTS...and how points 4th normally gets no matter what team or who they have played. Based on "who they played " arguement....look out for WHU being right up there at the top then.
All I said to you was that taking an average of 3 years especially when that included an exceptional one is not as accurate as one over 5 or 10 years.
As ususl, when you are proved wrong on this forum...you go off on one speaking gobbledygook

and you should look up the definition of FACTS.love how you say to me using averages is not a good way to do it yet your original post on the matter was based on last 3 years average. By the way last 5 years...70, 79, 73, 69, 68......if i were a betting man, I think I would be looking around the 70-72 mark based on those figures

haha...teams played....can remember our top of the table clashes v swansea, west ham and villa in the early part of last seasonutd ...expected to finish 2nd or 3rd....maybe a slight improvement to 2 or 2.2 points a game to achieve that.
Are you expecting ALL the teams around that 4th spot to keep their highish average ponts going.
do carry on.

based on current form...why not?you are not very good at this are you.....understanding averages, that the fact that several teams beating each other lowers it.
Oooops...just realised this is a Fabregas thread. Sorry mods...can you move the posts

well you got this wrong because posters are happy that he is injured so he misses games.Thats shocking ..... ok Ivan hasnt been playing well, we all know that but the comments made were not right and they could have worded it better. At least have some sympathy and wish him a speedy recovery rather than gloat over the fact he has picked up an injury.
So don't tell me what subject is debatable or not, because from what I am reading the antics of some of the posters on here over injured players is deplorable
