I'd give Arse&Wanker a ban for a start for his comments and if the FA are going to start handing retrospective bans out for these kind of incidents(fair enough Costa crossed a line but got 1 yellow from ref)the FA are going to be very very busy and hand out alot of bans.(If all the defenders just leave Costa alone he would enjoy his time alot more lol)

I don't mind him getting banned but some consistency from the FA would be nice.

[Muzchap 8,966]

So let me try and get the facts of this straight:

COSTA

- will receive a 3 match ban (violent conduct)

GABRIEL

- already has a 3 match ban (Arsenal appealing)

- has another 3 match ban for not leaving the field (poor conduct)

I don't agree with the Costa ban - it's as we now know 'handbags' and nothing serious for the players.

I wonder how Arsenal can appeal the original red card - he did it plain as day - I think the FA will uphold their decision on that.

If the FA decide to reduce Arsenals punishment - then there is clearly an alternative factor at play here and any claims of prejudice towards Chelsea will hold merit.

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!

He would have been!

Another great, that is hailed is Dennis Wise. The stuff he got up to makes Costa look like Mother Theresa, yet I dont remember any Chelsea fans criticising in his day, part and parcel of the game. Then again there werent interweb voyeurs crticising from afar then

I'm surprised that voyeur even saw the incident.

I'm going to phone a few arsenal Mates of mine asking them do they fancy going to Costa for a coffee lol

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

It's a second 3-match-ban.

We must sell him and find new striker. he is the best dirty player in history.

He is bad influence on image of chelsea. .

Crucially, his current form is the worst.

Hahahahahaha

Costa is not that dirty. He is a wum but he has not recieved a red card since 2012 and he's never caused other players injuries.

Cantona, Keane, 90's defenders were much dirtier, breaking legs etc... In my opinion Diego Costa is just Portuguese for Dennis Wise..

Evcellent cartoon regarding our top striker

http://www.theguardian.com/football/picture/2015/sep/22/david-squires-on-the-dark-arts-of-diego-costa

He avoids detection by wearing a cloak of invisibility found in a dusty attic in Stamford Bridge. 'Bogarde'

[the wes 7,212]

wish Suarez was still in the pl to take the limelight of Costa lol

[kellzfresh 7,226]

Costa can be annoying but he never sets out to injure or Critically hurt people, he just provokes them. The media narrative is making it seem otherwise

[Stats 6,988]

Wenger accepted after the match that Gabriel was rightly sent off and now they have completely won the appeal. No surprise the media are up Arsenal's ass. Had Barnes done that challenge on an Arsenal player last season and they reacted the way Matic done, can guarantee you they would of written it off completely.

Yeah it was funny to see him talking about the incident when everything that Arsenal does wrong he "didn't see"

[Muzchap 8,966]

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

[pachman40 357]

Hypocrisy on display for everyone to see. Wenger repeatedly accepts the red after the match, then Arsenal appeal against it and win. Wenger whines about Mike Dean way more vocally and directly than Mourinho and haven't heard a peep about discipline against him. Costa disciplined during the game with a yellow card, but retrospective punishment coming in so small part due to Wenger's criticism of the referee. Blatant, unabashed double standards and making up the rules as they go along by the FA. Ban Diego because of his actions, no problem, but punish everyone with the same consistency, not too much to ask.

[Pizy 17,863]

Un-fucking-real. Incredible double standard once more. If a Chelsea player had done what Gabriel did the media would've exploded and the FA would have fast tracked the charge again and he'd be banned.

José will be furious now and rightly so when Diego is banned and the player who actually got fucking sent off gets no punishment.

What an absolute joke.
