there was contact, when you are running that fast with the ball the slightest touch can knock you over

it wasnt a penalty but clearly wasnt a dive,

Rumors that Hazard said in the interview 'I dont know if i will be at Chelsea next season' that is why they haven't released it.

very true, that was the reason given, Rafa and Perez knew he was low on confidence and wasnt happy in Madrid, so they wanted to sell him asap so they could get more money for him rather then wait another season.

We would have to sign the right players and play possession football to really get the best out of him, signing the likes of Javi Martinez, Gundogan and Isco would transform Cesc back into a top class player imo. J.Martinez - Gundogan Isco - Fabregas - Hazard Costa

we will win this Liverpool are useless! no way will they come to SB and win!

Last season in the PL, non penalty goals Costa 19 goals in 26 games - 0.73 GPG Aguero 21 goals in 33 games - 0.63 GPG

Must win game! I think we will win well here. 4-1 Costa with 2, Hazard with 2

Great post.

and also remeber Aguero scored hattricks agaist Bayern and Qpr, Bayern were already through and not really bothered about that game, and Qpr didnt even turn up as they already accepted they were going down, those were games where Aguero boosted his stats by preying on teams who really were not up for it.

De Bruyne is a top player, but Hazard was better then him today, I wasnt that impressed with KdB today, yes he scored and got an assist, but its true, his goal was a Goalkeeping error and his assist wasn't what made Mertens goal, Merten should get 99% credit for his goal. De Bruyne is class though and Hazard and De Bruyne can lead Belgium to glory in Euro 2016 no doubt about that.

Jose Out! 5 games in and our season is over! Sack Jose bring in Ancelotti, the guy who has 3 league titles in his entire managerial career, the guy who when he is losing will make like for like changes, perfect replacement, some very clever Chelsea fans on here.

I think Costa is certainlly better then Benzema and Lewandowski, as for Barca signing him he doesnt have to be better then Suarez, if Costa was available and Barca wanted to sign another striker, they would of course sign Costa. how about trying to explain your opinion instead of calling people deluded. Because i read a lot of your posts and on many occasions have laughed at how bizarre they, i used to think you were just trolling but realised you are actually serious, i would put you on ignore but some of your posts are too comical to be ignored.

what would people rather happen us being in a very exciting/nerve racking relegation battle all season and finish 17th with a win on the final day to stay up and fluke the CL again or us turning our form around and battle back to win the PL on the final day, and get KO the CL in the Quarter finals?

if we lose this i dont think i woud even feel angry anymore, i think it woud just get to that point where you just have to laugh at how ridiculous our start has been.

Would Barca, Bayern or Real sign Costa, of course they would! if Costa handed in a transfer request and we accepted it, every top club in Europe would be queing up to sign him. i dont know whether you are just trolling or actually believe they wouldnt want to sign him.

he always does.

Well said.

I would really love to see Kenedy - Hazard - Pedro with all 3 interchanging positions. They would be so difficult to stop especially with Costa making a nuisance of himself up front.

so you are saying Costa can't adapt to Spain, when he hasn't even played 10 games for them yet, and in most games Costa has done well even though they don't play to his strength's. in Major tournaments Spain tend to be a bit more direct in the final third and play those through balls earlier, which is what benefitted Torres. I will ignore the 2014 WC though as Spain as a team were just a mess. Euro 2016 I expect Costa to shine and challenge for the Golden boot. As for him not being top 5 and your only argument to back that up is saying he can't be top 5 because he hasn't adapted to Spain really shows how weak your argument is.

what have I just read? surely this isn't serious.

Thats 4 goals in his last 6 games for Belgium

It's Happening!!!

Community Shield - Chelsea 2 Arsenal 0 (Costa, Pedro) CoC - QFs, doubt we will be interested in this next season FA Cup - Winners PL - Winners - As things stand i can see us walking the league again. CL - i think we will get far, no idea how far Golden Boot - Costa Golden Gloves - Courtois PFA POTY - Hazard PFA YPOTY - Van Ginkel

yes i get that, but at the same time if an injury happens before or after Jan, Barca have to just simply deal with it these things happen, i dont think they will be too concerned if they go into next season with Munir and Sandro as back ups until Jan.
