Ffs. Everyone knows Costa is a ****. Maybe having Mert's cool head would've been helpful in this game. And Gabriel did it right in front of the ref, what a doughnut.
Why give the ref a reason for a red? Once the ref broke it off, just ****ing let it go, why keep going for it? We only have ourselves to blame, again.
I thought Gabriel was going to hit him How did Costa not see a red before he even had the chance to wind up Gabriel? Hits koscielny in the face three times, clearly looked at him choosing to push him in the face, then squares up to him and pushes him, followed by going head to head with Gabriel. Ref bottled it and then ended up with the Gabriel situation.
It's always one thing with Arsenal, whether it's a lack of tactical discipline, or behavioural discipline, we always just have to one **** up or another.
Played well, happy with 0-0 away to Chelsea at half time and if it wasn't for the **** Costa and the ref bottling sending him off it'd be all smiles at half time. So frustrated.
The ref is a ****ing cheat. Should never have been a 1st yellow for Gabriel, let alone the 2nd. Costs should have seen straight red originally. ****ing cheating ****.
**** that, at least Gabrial could have decked that prick instead of getting sent for that ****ty little stamp. Chelsea really are a bunch of ****ing ****s, look at the way they surrounded the ref and got Gabrial sent off. Scum.
Gabriel should've been smarter and twatted Costa when the heat died down. You don't get involved immediately after getting booked. School boy ****ing error.
I am astounded that Costa 1) wasn't sent off 1st of all for what he did to Koscielny, and then pushing Gabriel over, not to mention the insults, ill discipline and everything, but then to be winding Gabriel up, pushing him and saying something in his ear - you've got to say he could have gotten 3 yellow cards there. Typical.
Costa is an absolute ****er and definitely should have been sent off but this game is over as a contest now. Seriously, Gabriel knows what Costa is like and how provocative he is, so why continue riling him up when all it did was get him sent off? Koscielny wisely stepped away from the situation, there was no need for Gabriel to intervene.
Costa is just a cheating dirty bastard... how any ref can miss the fact the Costa constantly antagonises opponents UNFAIRLY and OUTSIDE THE RULES of the game to then cause an originally INNOCENT opposition player to react (understandably) in such a manner! Costa = red card! Foul 1 - Flaying arms all over Kos Foul 2 - Standing up to Kos in such a manner to antagonise This Costa bullshit needs to be stamped out... BUT Costa got a Yellow so there will be no retrospective punishment for him.. I personally feel Costa should have at least a 4 - 6 game ban for his consistent unfair/bullying play against various opponents week in week out.
Watching all the replays and the amount of times Costa has struck out at koscielny and Gabriel, on top of all the aggression towards the ref, I have no idea how he hasn't been sent off. He's created the whole situation and been the one to commit the most card able offences. Ridiculous.
Where the **** was our leadership to have stood between Costa and Gabriel when they were still bad mouthing each other? Why didn't any player decide to step in?
Costa should have been off the ugly ****. He asks for a booking ( a book able offence), then has two goes at Kos. **** off Mike Dean you prick.
If I was captain, I would've immediately made sure there was some distance between the two after the booking. That's what a captain does, diffuse the situation. I can't believe we allowed it to escalate. Two hot heads clashing is bound to end in disaster.
****s sake Cazorla the captain is just walking by as they are still going at it, step the **** in and separate your player. We can talk all trash about the **** that is costa, but we again only have ourselves to blame, costa is a convenient excuse for our constant stupidity.
Where the hell was your captain in all of this? Everyone knows what Costa is like, he just needed to drag Gabriel away ASAP.
