You have to laugh at all the hatred, bile and vile aimed at everything Chelsea by those who think they are morally superior by throwing hatred, bile and vile at everything Chelsea.
Where is the love?

It doesnt help when recent events have shown a small portion of chelsea fans showing racism and also most not liking morinho's attitude and diago costa as well.

Cant blame the none chelsea fans for hating on them.

Its not even about chelsea being owned by a billionaire, you dont get this same hatred towards City.

Ask any none city.chelsea fan and most would want city to win the title ahead of chelsea.

Its quite funny how you dismissed and not comment in regards to diago but instead call him a boss/hero of the day as a supposed tounge and cheek.

Yes we all know gabriel was a fool to react, not one single person is arguing against that so what is your point?

People here are discussing the shocking behaviour of Diago and it seems like he does it quite often too.

His your player so you love what he is doing and wont complain as long as he wins you games

Cazorla was the captain yet did nothing to calm Gabriel down, no one, no one pulled him away from Costa right after the yellow card, all around ridiculous.

Not sure what game you watched but Kos did pull gabrial back various times.

i agree sanchez has been **** but he will come good. season is barely a month or two old.

I thought Ozil was fantastic 11v11 but when we got the man sent off there wasnt much Ozil could do
 
Initially he did, briefly. He walked what about 30 yards slowly face to face with Costa and Kos nor anyone else at that point went and pulled him away before he pathetically kicked out at him. I mean that in both ways, it was pathetic to kick out and it was an even more pathetic kick. If you're going to do it, burst one of his testicles and see if he tries the same again.

While Costa was standing there trying to wind him up in front of the ref he should have been stood between them or at least pulled Gabriel off to the other side of the ref. As they walked off and Costa got in his face he should have again told Gabriel to walk away and if required he could stay with Costa.

There was probably 1-2 minutes of Costa winding up Gabriel after the ref got involved that basically no one got between the two of them, that was a massive failure by the captain Cazorla and everyone else who failed to see a problem and intervene.

The ref should have told Costa to cut it out and then booked him again when he didn't. One of the Arsenal players should have pulled him away as well. There were many failing from many people. The only person who will be smiling after this is Costa.
 
Yup, pretty much everyone failed, including Costa. I mean he succeeded in getting someone sent off, just failed as a human being.

Thing is if Costa was given fairer treatment in general over the past year. If when he dived he actually got carded, if when he puts his hands in peoples faces he got red cards he would have entirely stopped this behaviour already.

Players cheat because they get away with it, no other reason. If you get a yellow/red card every time you do something the risk vs reward becomes unfavourable. Players dive because they get penalties more often than being sent off, the risk is worth the reward. If 99% of dives got a yellow and almost never a penalty the risk isn't worth the reward.

This is why I'm so pro video replay, if 95% of cheating is easily caught 99% of cheating will stop because there is no point in cheating in the first place. It's also why the argument that it will ruin football is ridiculous. We will literally have a month of hilarious games over 8 v 8, a quick learning curve and almost a complete stop in diving, shirt pulling in the box, bad tackles, hands in faces, weird fake fairly gay forehead massaging, etc. The game will be less interrupted that it is now by the cheating itself.

Either way if refs did their jobs better last year Costa wouldn't be behaving like he is now. Letting him get away with this crap(and Suarez before him) actively encourages this behaviour.

If Costa does get away with it not only will he do it again but other players will see how it helped his team and they will do it themselves.
 
Well, Costa has got the punishment he deserves. It was a blatant red card for the hands in the face and the slap on Koscielny. Gabriel was an idiot for getting himself sent off and deserved to be, I can't understand why he wasn't restrained more by his Arsenal colleagues, and I also feel that the ref should have forced the two players to go mark someone else after the incident. It was poor from all involved really, but the biggest injustice was that Costa got away with it at the time.
 
Costa should have been sent off, Costa could have seen red for multiple offences. Mike Dean totally failed to deal with the incident with Gabriel (although Gabriel was correctly sent off), and totally failed to deal with Costa.

I wish they removed this 'well the referee saw it' bull, retrospectively punish players regardless. Costa should have multiple red cards for that game alone. He should face a lengthy ban, but will not.
 
I support the retrospective red card but FFS, we're not in the 1980s any more, this needs to be taking place in-game using replays. Had Costa been sent off during the match there could have been a very different outcome. Simply too much at stake! It's not like it isn't used in other sports.

Wonder why there isn't more pressure on the FA to do this? I guess the possibility is that refs/officials are still paid off?
 
Mike Dean had a terrible game, his job performance was poor, yet he will face no consequences over it. That frustrates me far more than the F.A's inability to retrospectively do the correct thing.
 
Yeah, Dean had a shocker. The game was destroyed with the red card just before half time. Was a good game up until then, could have gone either way. Arsenal need a result up at Leicester or they'll start panicking..
 
Costa and gabrial had issues in laliga too...

Costa is a first class ***** to be fair and always has been. Wasn't there a time once when he was giving mouth to Henderson and Henderson went face to face with him and costa walked off with his tail between his legs?

Hope a keeper gives him a rate good jab to face one day when going for the ball :p
 
The thing is if costa was originally sent off for the slap and push on kos, gabriel would still be on the pitch and arsenal would have rightly have the advantage.
 
And if Gabriel had been correctly sent off for his elbow vs Stoke (giving Stoke the advantage) he would have been suspended for the Chelsea game meaning he couldn't have been sent off vs them. And because there wasn't so much crying after the Stoke game Gabriel wasn't retrospectively charged either. Maybe it's just karma that he got sent off vs Chelsea.
