Diego Costa

[Fulham Broadway 16,392]

Chopper but same difference

No 1970 FA cup win, or 1971 Cup Winners Cup without him, but I understand hes too physical for you.

What a great quote from Martin Keown.

"He's a black-belt in the physical side of the game" - @martinkeown5 on Diego Costa

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Okay lets bring back Torres and sell Costa and go back to the good old days of having a little bitch upfront who was pretty much useless in games where they got a bit more physical or gritty. The one solution to solve this.

Or find a striker like Lewandowski, Suarez, Aguero...etc who is NOT AFRAID and also doesn't act like a complete cunt every match? no middle ground though as usual.

That 'complete cunt' was instrumental in winning the league last year for the team you..er..support.

I remember posting that on here few months ago. Bloody hilarous that, I swear

[iseah100 5,612]

Don't understand the problem tbh. As long as the ref doesn't see it all is good. He's a fighter.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

Martin Keown a man with the looks of Nosferatu and the ability to talk as much sense as well. This is the bloke who played in the most cynical back four in the history of football has the audacity to question the way Costa plays. Keown was a filthy fucker who did exactly to forwards what Costa does to defenders and more. He then can't bring himself to say yes i'd have in an Arsenal team because that's not the way they play. Have you ever heard such sanctimonious bullshit.?. Costa or Walcott, Costa or Giroud is he for real? Keown your an utter ring piece.

Its all well and good our own supporters saying Costa lovers have no morals but they must remember all the shit he takes as well. Just look at last season at all the players trying it on with him trying to be big in front of their mates. Just like any pub,club or bar in any city,

Heres another time someone wanted to keep his shirt for a souvenir.

That lead to this. He takes much more than he gives out.

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

I want a club I can be proud of win or lose

that is quite.....controversial?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

People getting all morally superior about Diego, must have hated Droy, Doug Rougvie, Webb, all wind up merchants. Osgood was great at running his studs down defenders calves.

Ron Harris makes Costa look like an angel, so a certain poster here must hate the Chelsea legends.

Surely it's all about context. It's a completely different game now. What was normal back then is no longer acceptable. It's also a completely different global culture.

Yes, because those are the ONLY two available options. It is unimaginable that there exists a good striker who is able to compete physically but doesn't needlessly punch people in the face, right?!

Who says its totally unacceptable ? Have you watched any games in South America, Africa, Eastern Europe ?

Yes in an ideal world, all that stuff would be eradicated, but corporate media as you know Chou need the soap opera, they need the bad guy -and invariably as always its Chelsea. It will always be there Ronaldo got Rooney sent off, the other Diego got Beckham sent off in World cups and it goes on every week. Its not like he has murdered Palestinian kids, he's given another multi millionaire a slap after intense provocation. People will always cheat, and I am not going to get on some media driven bandwagon to condemn him. If we all did the logical conclusion would be to drive him and the best manager we ever had out of Stamford Bridge.

He never punches anyone in the face, as Keown and Savage said its always an open hand, and only then under intense provocation. TV hasnt shown the way Koscielny was having digs beforehand. Gabriel and Koschielny tried to wind him up and paid the price.

exactly.

DD was as physical as anyone can get. but he did not go about punching/scratching/slapping people. (he did slap vidic once though. ). but still, there is much more to "physically imposing" than actually hitting people.

..and is on record as saying he wished he punched him full in the face

[Melanicus 5,208]

DIEGO! DIEGO! DIEGO!

Shame that there are some "fans" that hate him at our own club.

[didierforever 7,349]

he seriously should have. atleast that would have made it look like a proper red.

anyways, costa needs to tone it down a couple of levels. media scrutiny will be even more on him. refs and linesman will be even more aware of him and would be looking for the slightest reason to send him off.

ps - considering the arsenal game, i dont think costa did anything wrong except for the swipe at kos. that was a red if the ref had seen and the FA will ban him.

[Billy. 2,739]

Dunno why but i can see the Fa being cunts and giving him a 3 game ban

I was just about to pull out the Chopper example, my dad was down the Bridge in the 60s and said Costa would have been mocked for being such a pussy by those standards!
