Pizy

This.Not like she had some super human healing powers that any other doctor or physio doesn't have. If she wasn't a woman this story would've been forgotten in day or two.

Good. Can the media hounds move on to the football now, please? Tired of this non-story.

Un-fucking-real. Incredible double standard once more. If a Chelsea player had done what Gabriel did the media would've exploded and the FA would have fast tracked the charge again and he'd be banned. José will be furious now and rightly so when Diego is banned and the player who actually got fucking sent off gets no punishment. What an absolute joke.

Think what he obviously meant was that Diego loves to push the boundaries and bend the rules as far as they can without breaking them. Funny, though, and typical from the media that they blow up the quotes about "cheating" but I've seen only one or two journalists acknowledging his clarification. Any chance to shit on Chelsea these hacks get they just love it.

Astounding, isn't it? Same with people here saying they're glad he's suspended.Did he deserve to get banned? Probably. Are we a better team without him? No. He needs to be playing games to round into form. Now he'll miss a few matches and likely come back even more out of form than he has been. Falcao will almost certainly get the nod now.

Season just starting to get back on track, team looking much better and now boom, Costa gone for 3 games.

He's only 24!? Damn. Thought he was much older. Don't think he'd look out of place at all in a big team. Not buying that we're after him, though.

So will anyone be surprised if he gets retrospectively banned? It's the FA we're talking about here. They'll probably give Diego a 3 game ban and rescind Gabriel's red card knowing them. Also, if José had called the referee incompetent like Wenger did you know he'd be fined. Wenger is damn near untouchable.

They may very well top the table by this time next week. Wow.

Crazy, isn't it?Their defense looks shocking still and they're hugely reliant on De Gea, so that's a positive I guess we can take.

Just have to hope their usual injury list starts filling up soon and that the extra competitions take their toll. If at the end of the season we finish behind City I could live with it. Finishing behind United who ended up 17 points behind us last season would be embarrassing. I simply don't think they have a better team than we do.

Meh. He's clearly extremely talented and can become a top player. Just highly inconsistent.

That's what makes our shambolic start even worse. United and Arsenal look bang average but we're still behind them.

They'll have one hell of an attack one Memphis and Martial mature and grow. And they eventually get Rooney out. You can tell Martial will be one of those annoyingly good players soon enough. You see within 3 games why we were after him.

Hard to believe we got battered at home by Palace. They were barely able to string a couple of passes together against this shit Spuds side. Same old annoying trend where a small team won't be bothered to turn up against other clubs but when they play Chelsea it's a cup final and they raise their level way beyond their standard.

Same here. Neither of them are scary sides who I can see going on long winning streaks.United especially. They're either good or embarrassingly poor each time I've seen them this season. If we can just build on yesterday's performance and get Diego and Hazard to sharpen up I think we'll reel the pack in. Though I think City are already out of reach.

West Ham will come out trying to defend their lead and will crumble I think. No way will they be able to allow City 70% of the ball or more as they're tiring out. They'll be sat too deep and City will throw everything they have at them.

We all knew damn well that even at 0-2 down City would score eventually. I'm sure they'll win this by 2 goals in the end.

Thought we were even BETTER when it was 11v11 so Arsenal fans can stop moaning. Hazard, Cesc, and Iva have finally awoken. Diego, however, was shocking on the ball. His work rate is phenomenal but his football was terrible.

For goodness sake, Chelsea, just PLEASE get the 3 points. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if we lost this with a man up for 45+ minutes AT HOME to our biggest enemy. We MUST win!

Couldn't even get excited or pumped about the red card because I'm not that confident we can beat them with a man advantage in the form we've been in. Played better than we have all season, though. If we keep that up we should win but with the luck we've had recently well struggle against 10 men and lose to a freak goal.

Will this finally be the match where Cesc and Hazard wake up? If Fabregas can't raise his level against his former side...

Unreal.

Good news is that I have a feeling Pedro will start. Bad news is that Ivanovic probably will too. Think it'll be what José would consider our "best" team: -----------------Costa----------------- Hazard-------Oscar--------Pedro -------Cesc----------Matic-------- Azpi-----Terry-----Cahill-----Iva No chance he starts RLC for such a hugely important match in my opinion. Also wouldn't be surprised at all if he simply tries to kill the game from the start by playing Ramires or Mikel. That would piss me off to be honest.

This is getting ridiculous now. Like Arsenal/United level luck with injuries this season. It's like we used up all of our good karma last season. No Pedro OR Willian. Got to be a 4-3-3 with Cesc, Matic, and RLC in the middle. Please, for the love of God, no Ramires on the wing and Ivanovic back in the team.
