I think for a middle aged man, Costa is a petulant bastard. Hopefully with one less eye he will become half the **** that he is. Let's hope someone finishes the job off next season. Good effort by Dembele, we support you son.
Looks like you won't have the opportunity to support him for a while. Still, you'll have come out the winners despite letting Chelsea rattle you into losing a two goal lead and losing a player for the start of next season. No one's going to **** with Spurs anymore and if they do they'll get Dembele'd!
It's not fella. **** the football, teams will be running scared of Spurs' players (when available) from now on.
Sorry Stan can't take anyone seriously who supports Diego Costa, consciously or subconsciously. If that was an Arsenal player punching Costa, I would have been man enough to applaude the Arsenal player. Football rivalries have to be put to one side sometimes for the good of the game.
If anything Dembele should be dragged over the coals for not taking a bat to Costa, an eye gouge simply isn't good enough. He should have an extended ban for the lack of violence used.
I'm not supporting Costa, you'll do well to find a post in which I have (in fact it would be a miracle). I'm taking the piss out of the fact that some Spurs fans seem to think that the behaviour of their players the other night was some kind of moral victory when in fact they were tucked up by Chelsea, completely lost the plot and will pay for it into next season. It wasn't a punch by the way, it was eye gouging which is a **** and a coward's way of taking someone on. Don't think even Costa has stooped that low. The one thing that every manager and player will have picked up from that game is that Spurs' players and their naïve manager can be easily taunted, rattled and provoked. Expect more of it next season.
Leave it out Stan. That **** was at the center of every kick-off going on the other night. As Gonz said, I wish Dembele had really Twatted him! Dembele is not a dirty player by any means. So that **** must have really been asking for it...don't ask me to feel sorry that he got some. Just wish it had been more...
And eye gouging is definitely for the good of the game, on that we can all agree. You just dont see enough WWE moves in football any more
And Stan isn't defending Costa, he is condeming Demeble's actions, as am I, there's a big difference. Eye gouging, biting, kicking, stamping, is not acceptable in football, by anyone, on anyone. "Oh its okay to gouge his eye out, he's a bad man"
Tbf I'm just randomly picking sides and making comments so that it kicks off a bit, I'm an online eyegouger.
TBH, a punch in the eye will do as much or more damage as a gouge. Having been on the receiving end of both, neither is nice. I guess the difference is that if Dembele had punched him in the eye or nutted him, he'd be looking at a lesser ban.
