I absolutely love this guy. His passion is unreal. I feel stupid for thinking he was playing bad on purpose when Jose was incharge. I am pretty sure he is one of the few right now in the club who actually cares about us. Please Diego never leave us.

@the game liking a player has nothing to do with bias.

About what I believe about this lad called Diego Costa, I think it is time he grows up a bit and lays off that attitude and just show all that passion and emotions when he scores. I hate that he stamps or acts like a complete asshole but I can not simply hate him when I see that passion in the game even if he is not a Chelsea player anymore. This is what made me love football the passion of players, the fans, the managers. It is not just beautiful goals and tricks, IT IS ALSO THE FEKIN EMOTION that spits out of our bodies when see that round goddess on the field, either we kick it or either we watch others kicking it.

@TheGame Meanwhile Diego Costa plays professional football and gets paid heavily for it. What about Keane? What a sweet angel that guy was but you mancs loved his passion. What about Scholes killer tackles? Each player has a way to play and an attitude.

In general now :

We love his passion but we DO NOT tolerate his awful attitude sometimes because it costs us games, he dives, he stamps, he acts like a complete BELLEND but why not love him? He is a passionate player not like most mercenaries and nobody is perfect in this world we live. In fewer words you guys are hypocrites because if he would bang 25 goals for UTD or Spurs you would suck his ballsack off all day and call him world class striker.

Most of you are bitter about us and him. Zidane was not angel either, Materazzi got him sent off with some cheeky attitude. I mean really sometimes I wonder is it the 1st time you guys see or play versus or even as a teammate with a guy like Costa? Playing amateur football on a shitty topic league myself I met hundreds of people with that attitude it just happens Diego is miles above them in terms of football.

Jeez all that hype with Costa nowadays. Diego Costa+Chelsea = Unleash your hate.

:) always stay behind your team @netsten

I have to admit that he has been surprisingly more mature and respectful than I thought he would have been, especially lately, but it doesn't change my mind about him when he was playing for Atletico, he was an absolute D. I don't think that only results matter, attitude on the pitch is also an important parameter for me to like a player, it doesn't mean that I'm not behind my team.

He's been terrific this season in terms of positional awareness. He seems to be at the right place at the right time much more often compared to previous seasons in a Chelsea shirt. I think it is also incredible for his standards that he has been booked 4 times in the first 5 games (or so) of this season and has gone 7 without getting a yellow card since then, avoiding a ban. Hopefully he'll resist the urge to do something crude in the next game against Tottenham, so he'll be eligible for the ManCity game as well. After that he can do whatever he wants lol

Costa is a better player on the field now.. heck if he kept scoring and performing well, even i will nominate the guy to be player of the season.. nowadays, he is a beast in a warrior suit..

He is much more disciplined and as I result, I'm starting to appreciate him a lot more. Hope he keep this up. ;)

I love the guy. he's a player that all the fans of opposing teams hate. Just look at the ridiculous thread created by decent in where most people didn't even question whether Costa bit Barry at all. Spoiler alert. He didn't. He's also a player that upsets other players which creates unbalance in their team. That's a good thing.. For Chelsea.. Not for anyone else though..
And honestly speaking, is there anyone that gets so much attention on the pitch as Costa? They're on him constantly with dirty little tricks to try to make him upset. Most of the time it doesn't work though and just punishes them further. After all, he learned to play football the hard way on the streets of Brazil. He knows the mind games and dirty tricks.. He's passion is unreal. Yes, he fucks up every now and then and his aggression is as much a problem as it's an asset, but that's what he's there for. Honestly, I don't give a **** what anyone else think about him as long as he's good for Chelsea and as long as he scores plenty of goals, which.. he does..

Sometimes I really like what old Me has written

@KTB Indeed, me as well, wish you shared more of that ancient wisdom with us. ;)
