    Was thinking something very similar myself a minute ago. Except I thought "How on earth did this ****ty little gimp faced midget get games at a club like SAF's United?"

    Drives me insane how the commentators just chuckle with faux paternal pride whenever Costa gives the officials a mouthful, like he's a small child doing something naughty but cute.

    You may have also noticed how Arsenal fans have conveniently and quietly 'forgotten' about their £16m boy wonder Callum Chambers. Awful player.

    Like Scholes, Keane, Drogba, Vieira and the like, nobody but those clubs' fans can abide the ****s. Costa fits right in that club. He won't be missed.

    Vicious little ginger ****er. The Celtic missing link. Committed horrific fouls and got away with them because Fergie said "He's not that kind of player, he's not a tackler." Could start a row in an empty room As a pundit, he has all the charisma of a used Kleenex.

    'I Can't Stand Up For Falling Down' Drogba? The on-pitch Mourinho. I've seen people with inner ear problems and vertigo stand up better than he could manage. The only less palatable Chelsea player was,,.......................Dennis Wise who has his own category with Charlie Adam.

    It's a matter of degree. A really large degree. The other difference is that you don't get many if any Spurs supporters condoning this behaviour. Mind you, could be because a Spurs player is far more likely to get a retrospective ban for something untoward, whilst Chelski players seem immune. Also I don't think any Spurs player has needed a lie down on the pitch as often as Drogba did.

    Hmmmm I'm not sure about this.

    I think you have fans who will be fed up of antiques from certain players and some who like it. I think in general theres a mix of chelsea opinions on drogba and costs with respect to their antics but of course we love them as players as they are brilliant and the real deal.

    As I'm sure there were loads of spurs fans who defended bale when he dived numerously. To be fair your team right now is pretty clean minus alli and i would argue lamela who you guys love but i either a really clumsy footballer or a pretty dirty player ala Scholes (he plays with intensity but some of his challenges)

    Slightly odd that supporters had no problems with Stam, Schmeichael, Evra, Van Nistelrooy, Giggs, Beckham, Lampard, Cole, Cechu, Makelele, Kante, Cahill, Matic, etc, etc.

    Maybe they weren't winners eh?

    Plenty of those players have received stick and abuse over the years. Point is, part of the reason players are hated is because they are successful for rival clubs. Bet you don't give 2 ****s about the likes of Ryan Shawcross or Barton because they play for clubs not on your radar.

    Nonsense.

    One of the most frequently mentioned names on this board is Charlie Adam. And it isn't because he's such a good pundit...

    We hate Charlie Adam.

    Joey Barton is a prick, as every fan would agree.

    Shawcross... No opinion of him. Never done anything of note against us that I can think of that'd make me hate him. Think he's a good CB to be fair.

    Hate them too. Don't get this board started on James McClean. Is he one of your winners?

    It doesn't fit your agenda but some of us don't like cheats or players who make the game less sporting. I've called Dele, Bale, Jan Vertonghen and many others over the years. It's a sport, you know?
