[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

Fucking FA...if a slap to the face is violent conduct then so is kicking someone.

No comment, just as i expected, fark off FA

[Special Juan 27,424]

No surprise. But if we are looking at both incidents both should be banned for three games.

Chelsea will start to ask themselves if Diego Costa is worth all the hassle... he's more interested in fighting every defender he faces than scoring goals

• Diego Costa has been centre of attention at Chelsea for his on-pitch antics
• The striker was handed a three-game ban for violent conduct by the FA
• Chelsea will start to ask themselves whether Costa is worth the hassle
• Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Manchester United's Eric Cantona proved their value on the pitch despite all the controversy they brought
• Managers of the the top sides are feeling the pressure so much that they fielded strong teams in their Capital One Cup ties this week

not particularly original but quite a number of valid points ... Reading out about how he behaved towards Drogba makes me wonder what he said to Lukaku .

possibly you are a baby compared to Didier ,, whatever he must have said something wrong

[Starman60 1,343]

In fairness to Costa, I hear he is out on the training ground every day this week with Ivanovich........Branislav is teaching him how to play while holding your hands behind your back, because he has mastered it once the opposition attack our 18 yard box

I think the only way to break that habit is only ever to feed him soup

People forget costa never been red carded its always Fergie FA anti-chelsea who always ban costa

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

This is not about being liked by the FA. It's a legitimate explanation for the issue that some deem "bias against Chelsea"/certain teams and players".

It's the same in the real world, first time offenders of non extreme crime are shown way more leniency and sympathy than repeat offenders who have literally made the prison and the court their second home. we all know how this works in football and the real world but it just strikes me as some members trying to be argumentative for the sake of it.

If you don't want to become a target, stop giving the authorities a reason to target you in the first place. If Costa wasn't a hot headed, emotionally immature thug, whose main agenda whenever he steps onto the pitch, especially in big games, is about creating drama rather than actually focus on playing football, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

The FA and rational/non bias posters aren't who you should be directing your anger/frustrations and criticism at but rather the repeat offenders at the football club i.e Costa and Mourinho who consistently refuse to see the errors of their ways nor strive to change for the sake of the club's image/reputation (at the very least) and that of the team.

Ya right....

We would of won if costa played today without a doubt.

Remy is good, but Costa is a fantastic team player that takes a lot of the pressure from hazard, oscar and pedro. I've always said mourinho has to play a minimun of 2 brazilians at a time if we want to win.

The Brazilians press better than anyone else, it makes us dominate the opponent

I agree that Mourinho has to play a minimum 2 brazilians at time to win, but Costa would be a disaster today. He would get angry and would try to force a penalty. Repeat.

[Pacquiao 1,834]

really missed Costa today.

and where are all the Aguero fanboys gone? he was awful once again, offers City nothing when he doesnt score, as i have always said Silva is by far City's best player Aguero is nothing without him, hence why Aguero is also awful for Argentina.
