Diego Costa

[Liquidator 5,176]

And the FA has the nerve to call FIFA incompetent and corrupt...

If he appealed and the ban was 4 would that mean he would miss the league cup final?

If he appealed it and got 4 games before the Citeh game he wouldn't. If he appealed and a decision was made after the Citeh game and he played that he would.

West Ham will be the last game if it is 4.

Fuck the FA targeting Chelsea again... FA = Fucking Arsehole's suppose their initials are correct.

Regards to all.

Let's be honest... If Liverpool player did that to us, we would say he must be banned. No complains here.

Indeed, Costa is guilty of something but there is a mountain of precedent to suggest that an equally guilty Liverpool player would probably not be charged. Luis Suarez has done much, much worse and I don't mean the biting. We've all seen the videos where he goes over the ball to put in a disgusting, career threatening challenge then rolls around pretending that it's him who has been fouled. There can be no doubt that Suarez has committed these fouls intentionally and with premeditation but does he get done retrospectively for them?

This was a blessing for the FA, they want a wide open title race.. perfect timing.

As Ash tweeted once upon a time - FA = bunch of twats. We have a crucial game on Saturday and look how quicky FA acted, especially with the appeal possibility.

Us against the rest of the world feels really good, though, I have to admit.

He never played for us though... If he did he would have got fined and charged.

I think we should just accept if its 3. Nice rest for him and we should be able to get whats needed with what we have in that run.

[Vybz Kartel 1,613]

An appeal is hopeless, I have never had of an appeal which has been successful especially when it comes to the us

[OhForAGreavsie 5,890]

As long as Jose selects Remy, not The Drog, we can ride out any suspension.

Yes, for each one and there have been a lot of them. By the time the FA came to deal with the last one, the national outcry for a lifetime ban would have been deafening.

We could all see this coming, diego's behavour lately went a bridge to far... This is not an act from the fa against Chelsea..

[Eidur the Spider 4,515]

I think the key here for me, and many others I'd assume, is consistency from the FA. We see countless examples on twitter etc...of cases against Liverpool, Man City or United players that go unpunished. That's the frustration for me. consistency is key, and the FA bring trouble and criticism on themselves because of that.

To be honest Man Utd have rugby tackled us and held us in their goal, and much more but they go on un noticed, but when it's us that's it straight fine and ban. If anything he should have got a fine for that stamp. Nothing else. Like Jose he just says something about a ref, what happens... he gets a fine. Why? Because he's our manager... You can't stand up for the FA like that.

Inevitable. Once the media started talking about it was bound to happen.

I think it's incredibly unlikely that it was accidental, but at the same time I don't think he stamped with any real force. He intentionally stepped on Cann and Skrtel.

Yes, the FA are working with complete double standards, but it was so unnecessary from Costa. He doesn't need to give the FA something to try to ban him for.
