Where's that post that claims Costa is better than Lewandowski? You watching?

Fucking disgrace the FA

I hope this now sets a precedent for the remainder of the season

He will still get a 3 game ban though right for failing to leave the pitch

Surprised ? i expected this to happen and people call Mourinho deluded when he says there is a campaign against Chelsea. Like i said before, i hope the FA burns to the ground, if i was a terrosrist i would bomb the farking place. I´m sorry for saying this, it´s really uncalled for, but i´m just livid at the sheer stupidity of all this. Cheers mate.

Not surprising at all...

Only suprise is that the FA didn't give the ban after the Walsall game.

Ironically he is now 1st to praise Lewan in his thread.

Surprised it wasn't more to be honest, he definitely deserve it. Now let's hope he takes the time off to question himself and learn to improve his behaivor because it is not good enough. Then again I doubt he would learn anything judging by his performance since the ban last year.

Either way now he will miss 3 matches because of his antics and hence basically hindering us. Hope people stop encouraging this type of behavior instead of calling out to his defense like usual as if he is some victim.

What we say will have no influence on how he plays. The only way he'll change is if Mourinho says to. Based on his comments, Jose won't and we'll continue to see Costa the way he's been playing.

I would take this to court if necessary, enough is enough, this is clear as daylight, campaign against us all day, and people still think we are deluded. Fark all of them, i dont give a fark no more.

Imagine a world where that non issue of a "kick" and a split second bit of grappling between players -- nicely exaggerated by super slow motion action replays -- was just par for the course and a bunch of grown men were allowed to go about the football game, perhaps with a caution, like the physical contest it is. Now that's a world I want to live in. You see worse during corners every game, every weekend.

Have to laugh a the media pile on Costa finds himself forever involved in. He's too concerned with needling and it can be irritating, but lets not act like he's not often the focus of attention from other teams -- which goes unpunished, or that he's always the aggressor -- I believe it was Gabriel who forced himself in to Saturdays spat between Costa and Koscienly.

The FA are a joke though and that's not news to anybody. They're consistently inconsistent but beholden to nobody and make the rules up as they go along.

Football has gone fucking daft, has been for years.

It's a game I used to love, and quite slowly I am falling out of love with.

It will b 4 fun now , with the all new all blue retrospective ultra hd camera purchased by Jose ...Fa headquarters prepare for overtime every prem weekend! Violet conduct ffs bustmyballsfc

[Liuxas 121]

Thanks god. I just don't understand how most Chelsea fans love him?.Why need chants like "Diego Diego Diego"?. This type of fans and Costa just making our club more hated by rest of world.

yes because I love Lewandowski he has been my favourite non Chelsea player since 2011, but Costa is better, Lewandowski is 3rd best, Aguero 4th.

Not surprising knowing the FA.

Good, so from now on players can kick each other without being red carded..well unless you're a Chelsea player, then you will get a 6 match ban.

Dude take off your blue tinted glasses, You can hardly count that as a kick. FA was right.

Here is a reverse camera of the incident. https://streamable.com/qk8p?t=38.1

Shocker.

On the plus side, the next 3 games of Walsall, Newcastle and Southampton(?) should be winnable without him. It's not like he does anything other than fight nowadays anyway.

What was it then? What was his intention? A kick is a kick, hard or not.

not much difference .. Lewandowski can score 5 goals in 7 minutes ,, But Diego can get in more than 5 fights in that time

[Special Juan 27,424]

Point1- Diego Costa lashes out at LK that does not get seen by any official what so ever, days later he is banned for 3 games.

Point2- Gabriel is yellow carded for an incident with Costa where he is warned and told to walk away. Gabriel walks away but in the mean time kicks Costa, to which Mike Dean misses the incident but immediately asks the official on his ear-piece what went on, the official says he kicked out and he's then sent off.

Point3- So between point 1 and point 2 Mike Dean has not seen any of these, he has to consult his official for clarification on one, the one that was flagged up was seen as clear as day, but the culprit is cleared.

Now I am not for one minute saying Costa is not guilty, the rules state you cannot raise your hands, and on video review he has been found guilty. What we are looking for here is total consistency and a level playing field from both official in game, and the FA. What the fucking hell is the point of a linesman/fourth official if something is seen as plain as day and the culprit gets away with it? In all this, Mike Dean is as guilty as fucking day for not doing his job and the FA have had do it for him, that for me points the finger directly at him and he should as well be punished massively.

That official statement is a joke. It was a lazy way to support the player. "We are very disappointed."
