    He's clearly very good at what he does. No wonder Mourinho rates him so highly.

    Don't understand the ? mark Watford. I think I made my personal feelings clear re Costa. That said, I take no shame in saying the result is absolutely the be all and end vs the lightweight goonies. I detest the tvvats. Only your own lot of spazzies shame them to be fair.

    On a scale of 1 to 10 you make sense about zero lad. My guess is your a United fan who has been to Manchester fewer times than my Mrs has been there shopping. Please refer to Sky for further football info, there's a good lad.

    OK so it's now within the rules to kick Costa good job FA.
    Gabriel has been let off! Crazy stuff.

    Probably means Costa will be too. Then again, you could say Costa's 'crimes' were worse and more violent while Gabriel's weren't violent enough to be considered violent.

    A two game ban for both makes the most sense. Maybe more for Costa as it's far from a first offence.

    Never been Manchester, its a bit far from China or Malaysia or Taiwan (I forget where we are all from, possibly Surrey (PS, where is Surrey))

    So your wife goes shopping in Manchester eh? I'm guessing she's Japanese then as you well know, only tourists go to Manchester. unless she's a city fan and has lived their all her life, in which case, unlucky, you've married someone from Stockport, which of course, I have never heard of let alone been too.

    Incidenctly do you enjoy being a racist rent boy?

    It doesn't make sense to me, as much as Costa deserved a good slap you can't kick him then have a bunch of refs review it and decide yes you did but never mind.

    Kicking Costa should fall under the same rule as kicking Suarez and him getting booked for it. Its good for the game and of course, well deserved.

    I guess the fairest thing to do would be to reduce it to a yellow i.e. a second yellow and therefore a reduced ban. Have they done that or scrapped it entirely?

    The FA will be looking at the Costa slap on Koscielny. They will probably find him guilty and give him a 2 or 3 match ban.

    The Gabriel incident was separate and has been dealt with separately

    Costa's a twat to his opponents for sure, but they're the ones suckered into it. It seems a bit harsh Costa getting in trouble for what is nothing when you consider the amount of blatant elbows Rooney has thrown that have been on camera that he's never been called to account for, or how Shearer was let off after quite blatantly kicking Lennon in the face. Costa niggles at players, if they get red carded it's more for stupidity than anything else. Gabriel deserved to walk, he'd been told 'any more and you're off' then, almost immediately, goes off and carries it on right in front of the ref. Moron.

    It's a laughable decision. There's no logic or consistency to it at all.
    I was surprised that Arsenal even bothered to try appealing it, as I thought that they were risking an extended ban.

    Kicking other players off the ball is now ok, apparently. I'm sure the next player that does that won't be sent off...

    Gabriel is available for the Spurs game now. Maybe he should try the same thing against them ... <whistle>

    Someone should kick him in the nuts before kick-off. Clearly can't send them off now, going by this decision.

    Gabby's gonna kick you first :tongue:

    In other news Maureen is looking at a potential minimum 5 match ban if found guilty of using abusive/sexist language towards Eva Caniero, who has now left Chelsea and is considering legal action.
