This link shows him punching an opposition player in the face.

This is much worse than Suarez's stupid dives and biting habits, and Costa should be banned accordingly. English FA is very controversial, so I don't expect a ban, but what do you guys think? Ban, or no ban?

I don't think Mou encourages such behavior from Costa, but he doesn't do anything to prevent it. And laughing at @Marcus over here. An absolute f.ucking joke. Hahahahah. Never fails to entertain.

@Jinn & Dynastian

yes i probably worded it wrong, main point was that Mou doesn't do anything to prevent such behaviour. even because beside the fact that is a disgraceful to see on the pitch, it brings lot of heat and hate towards Chelsea as a whole.

edit: and i also agree with part of Crooks analysis, like SunFlash said Costa has lot of responsibility concerning what happened but the referee played a huge part in it as well.

@Shpalman "it brings lot of heat and hate towards Chelsea as a whole."

Mate, as if Chelsea fc not hated by everyone already? I don't think Chelsea fc or their fans begging for the others to love them. Notice, you will rarely see a Chelsea fan talking about other clubs or players before without a reason. It has always been the other way around.

If I watch every single game in top 4 European leagues of all the big clubs I can find a lot of negative things to post about such as this post on a daily bases. But I have never done that nor a Chelsea fan ever did that for fun or even trolling maybe once or twice, but it was probably for a reason. I don't know but this is the internet apparently, but in another world I would imagine people post about how good were Zouma in this match or how Hazard improved and the whole Chelsea squad improved and back in form. How Ronaldo play fantastic football and how Messi is from another planet etc. Rather than having posts or comments all about Penaldo. Messi missing the penalties and laughing about it. The internet is turning into Troll Football. We are all running around in circles, nothing has changed.

Everyone knows that Costa is a c*nt since the beginning and before joining Chelsea fc. Nothing has changed. He is not the first one nor the last one in football that is a c*nt at the moment. Apart from that incident I don't see why Arsenal fans are crying about. Chelsea dominated the whole game before the red card and the second red card came at the end of the game. The whole incident made them forget about how poor they played in the whole game and that's what Wenger wants. If they agree or disagree, whatever make them sleep at night, I'm fine with it.

The double standarts as Shpalman said makes sense, i remember Suarez incidents or Ibra or Veratti and how Chelsea fans dealt with it...
If you complain about a dive, refree mistake or a dirty move, then you should also complain when a player you support do it or when the mistake is in your favour.
I dont agree at all that Chelsea fans are respectful toward other teams or fans, and they are the only responsibles for the image they have on the pitch and outside, i dont really like the victim position each time.

At the same time, im not really offended by Costa, we all know the '' animal '', better have him with you than agaisnt you. anyway in South America this is called flair, he barely gets a red card somehow, im not defending him tho.

I understand Arsenal frustration toward him but Arsenal needs at least a player with this kind of flair, i respect the fact that their players are always ''clean'' but they lack experience in this kind of situations specially in CL...
I agree with Alex about social networks, banter should be over trolling imo, but selective disgraces should be avoided by fans, Chelsea fans aswell.

@Alex

ok there might be people who hate Chelsea independently from Costa or Mourinho, but as long as i remember Chelsea didn't gather this big amount of hate in the past. i mean when you won the CL lot of people used to cheer and root for Chelsea. sure every club gets its own amount of hate, but you can't deny that some mediatic very controversial behaviour from Mou (and Costa things) amplified the hate towards Chelsea. it had this effect on me as well.
i mean it's being very hard to support Chelsea while listening to all the amount of stupid provocative drama brought by Mourinho. he likes to be in the paper, likes to get attention, that's cool. problem is that most of the time it's about negative stuff. negative stuff gets you hate. it's not black magic, it happens for a reason. i don't recall this kind of hate during Ancelotti's spell.

Quikzyyy summed it up well in the highlights, Chelsea used to be a respectable club with a respectable attitude.
now it's not like that anymore.

just for the record, Mou in the post-match interview backed Costa's behaviour:

see? ^this kind of stuff gets you hate.

A man is happy about the result what do you want him to say in the press conference? Costa is a c*nt?! I'm frustrated about what he did! He must get banned! No one will ever say that. He always say many things to take the pressure of his players to let them focus on the upcoming match instead and there is no better manager than Mourinho at it. He trolls he answer sarcastically to stupid questions from those reporters since none of them has a clue what they are doing. Mourinho's record around Europe has been the best amongst all the other managers. He is the special one for a reason. He surely does bring a lot of hate towards Chelsea, but again why do we even care? He is a successful manager and any club owner would die to have him. His haters would say "Hell NO" But deep down they want him. He gets you results. If I would think of other manager that gets me some results and entertaining as well then it has to be Ancelotti.

If I was a manager let's say a Chelsea manager since I'm a Chelsea supporter well GOOD LUCK reporters! lol. I would probably make them think million times before even ask me a question to not make them look completely stupid in public. And surely I would never say a bad thing about my players in public, who would anyways?

God damn it , you all RUINING our celebration day ! :D
@ See that is the thing . I would understand if you all would admit that you started to watch EPL or English league just recently .

There was a time when Arsenal was hated more than we are now . At times More than their rival United at the time . They were hated way before EPL ! We understand us being successful not going down well with you all therefore when we ask reasonable criticism we dont even get that so how can we not point the biasness towards Chelsea

Back to hate , There was not a single club who sympathized with Arsenal even abroad and their fans ! Especially their fans ! Just watch as soon as little glory hits them they will be back . They sit quietly waiting for next year but it never comes . We are talking about days when forum discussions were rare thing and internet trolls syndrome was not founded .

WE ARE NOT DEFENDING COSTA To the point that we disagree that his actions were wrong . However you all think Gabriel was right . So tell me how is not messed up ? You ignore penalty claims which were like rugby tackle . This is just regular ignorant prejudice nothing new .

Wenger comments after the match were brilliant , lol he wants to draw attention away from how poor Arsenal were through out the whole match . He has indisciplined team players who got a third red just this week and can't perform up to their potential .

@Alex

ok with what you say mate, he won't blast Costa publicly and that's understandable, no coach would do that, not even Ancelotti; but at least he could be tepid about it? no, he sings Costas' deeds like those of an hero.
in any case as a supporter at least you're aware about the price to pay for having Mou and Costa in your club, but there are many Chelsea fans who still go around wondering like "why all this hate? why people hate us?", behaving like victims and often raging about it.

Diego Costa can go fuck himself

Costa is fun to watch. He is unique cunt .

@shpalman You just proved your point with that quote from Josés press. It's not rocket science.

""why all this hate? why people hate us?", behaving like victims and often raging about it." This is what everyone is wondering, bloody hilarious. What makes it even more hilarious, this sh*t happened just 24 hours ago (24 F*CKING HOURS) and ppl are _STILL_ wondering why ppl hate Chelsea, oh f*cking dear.

LOL lots of whiners in this thread. I love it. Continue whining. Yes, cry some more. CRY godaammmit.

"WE ARE NOT DEFENDING COSTA To the point that we disagree that his
actions were wrong . However you all think Gabriel was right . So tell
me how is not messed up ? You ignore penalty claims which were like
rugby tackle . This is just regular ignorant prejudice nothing new ." -Word.

Also, Chelsea were A LOT better than Arsenal before the red cards as well. Just saying.

Also, have anyone yes ANYONE even mentioned that Chelsea are back in form? Or made a solid performance? Have anyone mentioned how well Fab, Hazard and Zouma all played? Anyone? No? okay.

and Tiki lol.. why always Tiki? I must wonder. Whenever Chelsea is mentioned in a negative fashion, there is Tiki. What a surprise.

Costa; such a cunt. He could learn a thing or two froom Arsenal legends.

Do you deserve an answer ? I guess no, welcome back. Fans who disappear when their teams are in bad form...

@KTBFFHSWE
"Also, have anyone yes ANYONE even mentioned that Chelsea are back in form? Or made a solid performance? Have anyone mentioned how well Fab, Hazard and Zouma all played? Anyone? No? okay."

^did you even read the title of this thread?

@iki Going through a tough start of the season only makes me appreciate Chelsea even more. Something you won't know of supporting Barca in la Liga.. and I've been here all the time..

@Sh Generally speaking. We're on a football forum, right? Give some credit where credit is due. Not a single thread on that. Barely anyone talking about it either. Just whining that they think Costa should have been sent off when clearly the Arsenal players instigated it all by trying to provoke a reaction on him. well, it back-fired. But the whining continues.

• "Generally speaking. We're on a football forum, right? Give some credit where credit is due. Not a single thread on that."*

are you really complaining about no one making appreciative threads about Chelsea? dude you're a Chelsea fan, do it yourself. or complain with your Chelsea mates about it. i mean seriously, wtf is wrong with you guys?

we ARE whining because he commits FOULS THAT ARE OBVIOUSLY would get him OFF THE FIELD.. y? because it IS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR and our conversation follows the thread's title.. we instigated it all? he puts his hands on kos face TWICE and even GRABS GABRIEL on the F*CKING NECK..

1 thing.. your GOD beloved MOURINHO is also an a**hole.. y? instead of playing a good derby game.. he wanted to play LIKE that for the sake of full stadiums blablabla.. FFS it's ARSENAL vs CHELSEA.. for F*cking sure it would be A FULL STADIUM..

here's your beloved GOD THE SPECIAL ONE..

Everyone here thinks of themselves as Guru of objectivity with a very selective memories . They throw insults calling us blind and ignorant but not once they put themselves in our shoes and see it from our side .

Just a month ago Fernandinho elbowed Diego Costa in the back of his head . You know even in MMA, fighters are not allowed to hit someone in the back of their head . However, if it is Costa then fck him . Did you all criticize him ?

Did you see Chelsea fans complain about Fernandinho ? NO !! Because we know what happens when we do , you all come like piranha and start barking about how much of c8nt Costa is and he deserves and Chelsea are clueless . Same like it was in Friendly with PSG when we pointed out dirty hits from Ibrahimovic and co .

SO tell me how can we RESPECT BIGOT fans like you who are completely bias when it fits you ? You all gathered into a pack like jackals against lions .

Do me a favor , notice whatever media dictate is exactly how you think and behave and you have nerve to come tell us that we need have a mind of our own !! LMAO It is pathetic coming from most of you !

Nonetheless they are objective users here but they are smart lads who stay away from diarrhea like this one . I should perhaps do the same because no matter what we say it is same next week .

@tiki

I never see you compain about your Barcelona players diving week in and week out ? You acquired Suarez one whinny snikier c8nt then Costa ! Costa got physicality and is not afraid to go head to head while the sneaky Suarez will even trick God that he is angel . Man who has beaten 3 different players . Have you complained ?

Did you complain when Messi dives too ? Don't give me answer as if he never does , he fcking does it ! However , you are so quick to jump on other players when they do it .

Honestly few people pay attention to your La Liga and don't see what dirty sht your team does week and week out . Btw did you also criticize Jordi Alba for football kicking a Malaga player ? Literrally kicking him . How many dirty deed Jordi did just this year ?

Hey No ONE CALLS JODI a CUNT ? Interesting .

Tell me how did we deal with Ibrahimovic ? We all said that he did not deserve to get his red and go on quote me find me one Chelsea fan here on forum who said other wise . You constantly misleading people here thinking we have short memory like others . What about Verrati ? Were you more objective about the way our players were being fouled ? And decisions that referee made in favor of PSG after he made wrong one with Ibrahimovic to balance out the match . Two wrongs never make it right !

@ To rest You all come here and preach about why we wonder why we are hated . LOL We don't give a fck if we get hated . It comes with success ! What we give fck is that with straight face you will create bias and with ignorance and disparity will bash our team disregarding other facts and whole picture of the situation ! What sort of objective man does this kind of things ? Bigots and ignorants do !

I thought most of you here are better than that !!
