See that's where you are wrong and your Stanliness comes out. Just see it for what it is and not what you want it to be...Costa is a ****. An eye gouge is not obvious as a punch Stan, you 'ard bastard, so there is more chance of getting away with it. You might not think Costa has stooped that low, but to me that sums you up. Did you spend a massive part of Fergie's reign, up in arms? One of the ingredients of his success was to have a ****ish team , I bet you fookin luvd it.
Dembele should have punched him in the tunnel after the game. By gouging him on the pitch there was only one loser and he showed himself up to be a bit of a coward and a ****.
I just see this as a Spurlock rant. They've become quite common since the title "race" went into the last few furlongs.
And was you up in arms ready to vilify your team in the last decade when they used to cause disrepute every time something went tits up for them? You loved it, you loved the siege mentality it created and you loved that eye gouging **** Mourinho more than your own mothers.
With all the pushing and shoving going on at the time there was a possibly Costa's eye could have impaled itself onto Dembele's digit because of a shove in the back, they were both lucky that scenario never happened, Dembele mostly because he would have had one hell of a slimey mess down his fingernail.
He's no coward, of that you can be assured. Yes, he was naive and should have flattened the twat in the tunnel - which he's quite capable of doing. Any Spurs player would testify to how phenomenally strong he is..
... the difference is a punch in the eye isn't necessarily intended to cause damage to the eye itself ... normally it's just a punch in the face that hits you in the eye socket area ... eye gouging is on a par with biting in terms of its' violent intent in my book ... barbaric ... and also ranks up there with phlegm gobbing in terms of being disgusting ... ... and cannot ever be excused on the basis of who the recipient is, no matter how abhorent the individual . End of.
No no its ok when its Costa. You my friend need to put your replica Leicester top on, get yourself some hookers, a bit of liqueor, get smoking and wake up next week.
I don't see the fuss anyway, just looks like he was removing Costa's make up. With Kane just making sure Costa doesn't flinch.
.. a thump in the eye is unlikely to be deemed unintentional ... but is more acceptable and, indeed, understandable ... and we would not now be having this debate if that were the case .... has Diego Costa earned himself a smack in the chops? undoubtedly ... does he deserve to have his eyes gouged? .. no. Hard to justify in a war scenario, never mind a football match.
I think somebody must have gouged that linesman. As he "can't see" what's right in front of his face!... But, I'm sure the FA has an explanation!.
You probably was Bo your a decent poster I seriously don't have any problems with a good ol' scuffle to spice things up. I thought it was a fantastic spectacle. Always love the games with an edge. Both teams played good flowing football as well. A lot of players have come out and said that it was one hell of a game for them to be involved in and it was.
