Costa plays exactly the same as he did in Spain and all other teams hated him then. He has not got any worse since playing for the scum and Jose is delighted with his antics.
I just see Les Ferdinand defending Costa on Sky Sports. Les was once my hero but he really pisses me off now.
Costa, Chelsea and Moriniho are all perfectly suited to each other......deeply unpleasant. MOTD cohorts wouldn't dare criticise him due to their big club bias......
And therein lies a problem, 'safe' pundits who make sad excuses instead of having the balls to call Costa what he is, a dirty cheat...
I've just watched the highlights and I've no idea why people are so enraged on this Board and still less why he sent the Arsenal player off.
Are you 3 above serious? He's a nasty, whingy, cheating bastard. A game spoiler, rather than an entertainer.
CR wouldn't play him while Austin is scoring and working hard in training. Wouldn't have a problem with that either.
You beat me to it. No wonder Shearer doesn't criticise him, he wasn't any better, one of the dirtiest players to grace the game.
Costa is a pond life. Didn't Shearer get sent off playing against Leicester for doing the bloke near the touchline when England captain then say to the FA that if they banned him for 3 games he would not play for England again? Or is it early and I am talking *rap.
I remember the incident, he completely wiped out the Leicester player as you say on the touchline for no apparent reason. What happened in the aftermath though I can't remember.
Joey would **** his pants if he ever came up against Costa - let's analyse this nutter against the names put to him shall we - Snide - Implies that he hides this away - would suggest on the contrary, he's completely open about his over aggression. Coward - Again, on the contrary, he seems to only take on the biggest of the other club Thuggish/Brutish - Yep, and open about it, always has been, oh and you could add a Winner at all costs. Make no mistake, when Mourinho calls Costa the man of the match, he's right, that was better than a goal, got completely into Arsenal's heads. Many comments that Costa was exactly the same in Spain, he wasn't, but then he also knew the standard of refereeing was so much better in Spain and couldn't get away with quite as much. Really? - The man is nuts and built with it too, not many take on anyone that's nuts Now there's a real snide - shat himself against Viera or anyone else that presented an "equal" challenge. Bloody Hell Stan, the Rose has tinted the glasses on this one me thinks, we've seen many a nasty bastard in our time that went to inflict maximum damage - I'm with Col, he's a panto villain and watching all around him let him win with his antics is just hilarious in its predictability.
