Oh, jog on.

Fact. There is literally no way you, nor I, nor anyone else for that matter, can prove if there was intent by Costa. Unless you have some sort of expansive ability to tap into the thought process of Diego Costa during that exact moment, there is, and always will, remain doubt. He's being judged on what we all saw, which was him chasing down a ball, one he was clearly fixed on, and didn't once take his eyes from his objective (the ball) to locate Can's position before planting his foot. His "reputation" certainly was used to portray the incident in a much different light to what actually unfolded. If you didn't see the incident and purely read what was written, you'd have thought he lined Can up and furiously landed a curb stomp of some sort. As the old adjective goes; innocent until proven guilty. No one can without a shadow of a doubt say the incident occurred with 100% intent. Period. A position backed by a number of ex-players; including Henry, G. Neville and Scholes.

Skrtel was even lucky to be on the pitch himself with his clear elbow on Costa in the first leg. Costa cops a lot of treatment from defenders, more than what most strikers receive, and he's yet to literally snap. He'll push the boundaries and give what he gets back, but it's important to remember that he's not some thug. It might be hard to believe, but Ronaldo has more red cards than Costa.

But we both know all the above means little to you. And with that, I've got nothing further to add.

Edit: spelling


Come on. It was intentional. He's a sneaky fucker. Let's move on.

I like Costa but how can you say he's not a thug.

Seems like Mou has got all you idiots believing there is some FA conspiracy against you.

Not some thug? Fuck right off.


Yep, we all know the real FA conspiracy is against Leicester City!

Almost overran it Walcott style. We've already fucked up some good chances which always ends up costing us if we don't get a second quickly.

Great win for Swansea. Set up for a draw it seemed but got all 3 points after Shelveys long ranger which Forster should have saved. Was one of the best defensive displays I've seen all season from Williams.

Harry Redknapp has just resigned. Apparently he needs knee surgery which will prevent him from managing QPR.

Shittest excuse ever.

A league without Harry Redknapp is always better, but I bet Sherwood will get the job so my dislike for QPR will continue.

Yeah as far as im aware Glen Hoddle does the vast majority of the training. While he's sat in his office wheelin' and dealin' and creating bank accounts for dogs and such.

Surprised Owen didn't moan at Ospina for not catching that rebound.
