Tomo 21,751 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 well, I hope we can time well his yellow accumulation suspension, so he won't miss any capital match, but it seems like he'll be getting a few of them.Someone enlightened me the other day about the rules, but I already forgot, 5 yellows = 1 game (this one I remember well) and 10 yellows = ?I can see him being suspended at least once, but maybe twice if the referees continue to being cunts about it. It's a relief to have someone else to replace him other than Torres and I think our whole approach changed, so it also helps other goal scorers.But it's not only his goals we'd miss in a match. He fires everyone in the pitch up - his teammates positively and the opposition in rage.Sorry, maybe it's latin blood in my veins and how the game is played at his side of the globe, but I LOVE some provocation on football. Of course, I don't like the violence, but a few words thrown here and there, as well as soft shoves in set pieces? Come on!!!!! This is part of the sport. It's physical, it's a contact sport, it's a manly sport, excuse me if I want to see some virile dudes behaving like lions in the attack from time to time (again, I don't like violence, only the provocation).So I took a bit of pleasure of what he did with Coleman prior to Coleman's OG, he responded to the provocations - without violence - and showed him and everyone else that we aren't a bunch of scared bambis. I love it. So I guess I'm a bad person? I think we'll miss his positive attitude and leadership as much as his goals in the matches he eventually won't play for us.If he is on 4 hopefully he will conviently pick up a 5th before a capital one game.

The members of a regulatory commission will have the power to deal with the player in such manner as they deem fit. The same procedure will apply for every further five cautions received by that player.Couldn't directly find this info on the FA site (should be on there though) but these rules are probably correct.So technically, this means (in the extreme) Costa could get 14 yellows without being suspended. 4 yellows by December 31st, another 5 by the second Sunday in April (putting him at 9, with no supplemental discipline), and another 5 before the end of the season. 14 yellows, no ban for any game.But at the rate he's going, he's going to have a lot more than just 4 yellows by december 31st. He might not make it till October Barbara 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milan 17,958 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I started having some feelings for him during the pre-season. I started having a soft spot for him after the first weekend. I am in such a deep love in him today! We were missing such a character big time in last years but luckily and thankfully, we found him. He's an instant fan favourite which can only help him and be beneficial and I am not going to hide that I have fallen in love with him. Such a monster! Cool, composed, fighting for the shirt with a stunning movement on and off the ball and also bitchy haha. You got me booked? Enjoy the own goal, puta! Brilliant!

The Rising Sun 711 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Anyone remember Ballack going absolutely crazy running after the Referee when a handball wasnt given against Barca?Diego is the first Chelsea player since then who i imagine will do the same. Passionate, ballsy and commanding.We missed that sort of personality the last few years.Fabregas, Costa, Luis and Remy. We are single handedly carrying the PL mantle and honour among Europe for some years now, and long may that last. didierforever and kaka 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LayZ 201 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNLMEwFHn8kThibaut speaking spanish very well though!Can we speculate what would have transpired had Torres been translating for Costa?I think he would have translated the second question as "This is the worst start for a Chelsea striker in the last 10 years since Adrian Mutu"... Nah Nando was a good guy, although I'll never forgive him for encouraging Sturridge to leave by telling him that Liverppol was the best club he had played for..

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Few years ago, we had absolutely brutal attack, everyone feared our strikers, with Drogba, Anelka, Lamps etc. Just remember that trashing of wigan 8:0 4 years ago... After years of dark, Costa can make our attack unstopable again. kellzfresh, The Rising Sun, Beigl and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Mourinho is at it again.. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11066499/Diego-Costas-storming-start-to-the-season-continues-Chelsea-win-nine-goal-classic-at-Goodison.html Even with the game won, however, Jose Mourinho did not take him off. The Chelsea manager appreciates what he is dealing with and is already trying to set the agenda. Rather than being the instigator of the mayhem, Costa is the casualty.“Imagine the millions watching around the world and, because Everton players are chasing him to get cards, I take him off,” Mourinho said. “I don’t think that is fair. I don’t think this is what the people want. I don’t think this is what the Premier League wants.”Mourinho went further, claiming that Costa – despite already becoming the league’s leading scorer as well as the first Chelsea player to register a goal in each of his first three games for the club since Adrian Mutu 11 years ago – is unlikely to receive any personal accolades for his achievements. “Chased, chased!” Mourinho exclaimed. “Normally he would be the player of the month but he has two yellow cards [the other coming against Burnley]. So he won’t get it.” stroey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
