🇪🇸 Diego Costa

mourinho's annual/seasonal cry of conspiracy and injustice against Chelsea is impending.

[Spike 12,049]

Everything Costa does is going to be over-exaggerated, isn't it? Just like many here, I wasn't happy with his behavior against Arsenal and while he was maybe lucky to escape a red card for his altercation with Koscielny, to say or suggest the FA should come down hard on him is ridiculous. A minor aggressive tussle on the pitch and people want him to be banned for 4-5 games?! C'mon, Costa didn't go out there and punch someone in the face, did he?

Son, this is football/sokka/nagomet/soccer. The ultimate sport for fuccbois. A slight tap on the shoulder is seen as brutal in this sport.

I'd give Costa 6 games. 3 for hitting Koscielny in the face and 3 for scratching Paulista. No place for thugs in the game.

No place for ludicrous comments on Twitter either

[lionsden 4,689]

I hope the FA come down on him hard as he needs to realise there are consequences for his actions but then again he didn't learn his lesson from his ban last season. Maybe when he starts racking up the bans and costing the team that's when the manager will finally stop encpuraging his bad behaviour and have a word with him.

[DDA 9,941]

Are Chelsea fans honestly saying they hope he gets a 5 match ban and that? Lol

Can you see the people who are saying it though. Those members are not supporters of Chelsea FC they are simply critiques of the club. They use this forum to broadcast their judgement on the manager and the players.

I wonder if the other clubs forums have a buch of people who claim to be fans but wish and pray for the downfall of that particular club.

if they also did the same to other teams' player who did much, much worse and got nothing.

I don't have a problem with a ban I disagree with, but I have a huge problem with the lack of standards.

There's always leniency shown towards first time offenders. Our very own Cahill was a beneficiary last season. Players like Costa and Suarez on the other hand are notorious offenders that deserve all the punishment they get.

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

The thing is people saying he should got off lightly as 'he is not the only one' doing it. Surely a long ban is more beneficial for him and US in the long term? if FA give him a one match ban against some unknown team in CO Cup tomorrow he will not learn and will continue doing it again next week, which will eventually be escalated as the refs are well aware of his antics now and won't be hesistate to send him off, which will lead to more serious bans as it is not his 1st time.

A big long term 5-6 matches ban will teach him to not do it again, maybe from now on he will play on the line but more toward the right side instead of occasionly leaving a foot over the wrong side like this weekend. If the long ban still doesn't teach him then he is a lost cause and we should just wash our hand of him because he cannot carry on doing this permanently in the long term. For all the talks of his 'aggresion' he has actually done fuck all in term of playing football this season apart from a good lucky volley against some nobody side and a tap in against West Brom. Maybe instead of spending his time preparing how to piss off the other defenders, he should try to improve his dribbling skill because it is fucking shit atm, can't beat a man to save his life.

There we go again, Chelsea targeted by the FA, including other fans, pundits, media, yet again, why bother? It´s just a big circus around Chelsea and all the hate that comes with it, lol it seems that anything a Chelsea player does is deemed violent conduct, i´m imagining one of our players kissing another player, and the FA saying: "he headbutted the opposing player, it´s violent conduct" pathetic. I´m not defending Costa´s actions, i for one like his agressive side of the game, he´s a fighter, he gives us more bite and we know how he gives his all for us, but i want him scoring goals not picking fights, that´s what he is paid for, scoring goals.

I fully understand why he is being charged, it´s not his first offence and he shouldn´t do that sh*t anymore, he can´t give other players and the stupid FA the satisfaction, he must learn and embrace once and for all that other teams players will always try to wind him up, because let´s face it they are karnts, it´s their main objective and they know how Costa will react. I remember last season at Everton, when Coleman was winding Costa up, and what happens when Costa reacts, yellow card, wow what a surprise!!, i´m glad we won that game and that karnt Coleman got what was coming to him, a hammering and a own goal and how that idiot Howard didn´t get sent off for headbutting Costa i will never understand, either way he should have seen red much earlier in the game for handling the ball outside the area, yet another punishment not given, whatever. It´s farking obvious this joke of a FA doesn´t have any integrity or consistency whatsoever, where is the punishment for other players? that karnt Naismith for one shouldn`t ever been on the pitch to score that hattrick for the stamp on Ivanovic, no punishment, typical, i remember a few seasons ago, Yaya´s slap on Mata, no punishment, Aguero 2 footed lunge on Luiz, no punishment, Rooney elbowing another player in a match, no punisment, last season possible leg breaker by Ashley Barnes on Matic, no punishment and yet Matic is the one sent off for reacting the way anyone would have reacted in that situation, i for one would have kicked Barnes teeth in, karnt. I can go on and on, other players keep getting away with murder on the pitch, but when it involves Chelsea players it´s a crime, it´s a scandal, it´s violent, it´s a disgrace, everyone makes a big meal out of it, come on, just spare me the bullsh*t ok? The FA doesn´t want to hurt their precious Manchester clubs, even Liverpool and Arsenal and other teams get away with it. it´s just because it is Chelsea, it´s Chelsea this, Chelsea that, like we are the scum of football, the villains, we are a disgrace, etc, you know what?, i hope they all burn to the ground, seriously just die already, bunch of inconsistent fools who have nothing better to do with their miserable lives other than targeting Chelsea, it´s pretty clear they want to bring us down and unsettle us in any way they can. I sincerely hope Costa gets at most 2 games, anything more than that is a joke, others are asking for him to be banned for 10 or more games, are you kidding me??? lmao, there are much more severe things that go unnoticed and unpunished and yet they want Costa to get banned for this??? oh what a drama, Costa is a thug, a disgrace, blah blah blah, just f*ck off already you idiots, focus on your own teams thugs and animals. Cheers mates, i´m done here.

It's a second 3-match-ban.

We must sell him and find new striker. he is the best dirty player in history.

He is bad influence on image of chelsea. .

Crucially, his current form is the worst.

Chelsea.

I'd give Arse&Wanker a ban for a start for his comments and if the FA are going to start handing retrospective bans out for these kind of incidents(fair enough Costa crossed a line but got 1 yellow from ref)the FA are going to be very very busy and hand out alot of bans.(If all the defenders just leave Costa alone he would enjoy his time alot more lol)

[bethos1 802]

I don't mind him getting banned but some consistency from the FA would be nice.

[Muzchap 8,966]

So let me try and get the facts of this straight:

COSTA

- will receive a 3 match ban (violent conduct)

GABRIEL

- already has a 3 match ban (Arsenal appealing)

- has another 3 match ban for not leaving the field (poor conduct)

I don't agree with the Costa ban - it's as we now know 'handbags' and nothing serious for the players.

I wonder how Arsenal can appeal the original red card - he did it plain as day - I think the FA will uphold their decision on that.

If the FA decide to reduce Arsenals punishment - then there is clearly an alternative factor at play here and any claims of prejudice towards Chelsea will hold merit.

I was just about to pull out the Chopper example, my dad was down the Bridge in the 60s and said Costa would have been mocked for being such a pussy by those standards!

He would have been!

Another great, that is hailed is Dennis Wise. The stuff he got up to makes Costa look like Mother Theresa, yet I dont remember any Chelsea fans criticising in his day, part and parcel of the game. Then again there werent interweb voyeurs crticising from afar then

I'm surprised that voyeur even saw the incident.

[the wes 7,212]

I'm going to phone a few arsenal Mates of mine asking them do they fancy going to Costa for a coffee lol

Hahahahahaha

Costa is not that dirty. He is a wum but he has not recieved a red card since 2012 and he's never caused other players injuries.

Cantona, Keane, 90's defenders were much dirtier, breaking legs etc... In my opinion Diego Costa is just Portuguese for Dennis Wise..
