Diego Costa

[Korea 734]

We should take bets on how many cards and games he misses due to suspensions...

[1chelsea 864]

Since the suspension/cards is the obvious Jose know how to walk round Costa to achieve is target

Nothing like a load of confidence is there? I mean there is the other side of the coin with the pussy cat Torres.

[The Skipper 20,593]

I bet he won't have one single red card this season.

I think he's only had 1 red card in the last 3 seasons, which isn't that bad tbh.

[The Chels 2,502]

He might not get a red card but he will probably get retrospective punishment for something (which makes the decision not to sign an adequate back-up even more puzzling).

You can already tell one of the smug referees like Mike Dean will set out to punish him for anything

That's such an understatement and you're making out as if he had lots of red cards before that.

Apparently he's had 7 in his whole career which is quite high for a forward.

Apparently? Where's the proof Skippy??

Costa got away with a lot in La Liga though. Could and should have had a lot more red cards/retrospective punishments.

Just looking at this cunt makes me want to strangle him.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Costa will shine under Mourinho. Aggressive and not afraid of contact, easily a Mou favorite.

In that case, Zouma will start every game ahead of Terry then?

There's much more to his game than just aggression and contact.

I wonder where we'd have come if he didn't disallow the Matic goal or send Wilian off against Villa. That was such a turning point (although we do have ourselves to blame too).

According to ESPN he's had RC as following

2012/13 - 1

2009/10 - 1

2008/09 - 2

All other seasons he's got no red card. Tons of yellows though:

2013/14 - 13 (League: 7/34+1 (starts + subs))

2012/13 - 14 (11/24+7)

2011/12 - 9 (9/15+1)

2010/11 - 5 (5/13+15)

2009/10 - 9 (9/32/2)

2008/09 - 4 (2/34+1)

I guess our prayers should shift from his body health to a cool head. He could miss a fair amount of games with all those yellow cards.

Tbf, out of those seasons, the max he's missed is 3 games (via yellow cards) every season which isn't even that excessive tbh. Timing of the these suspensions could matter though.
