Costa deserves the red? Ok thats fine. But Gabriel has got away with a blatant attempt to kick a player. The amount of contact should have no bearing on the outcome as the intention was to hit costa. Very strange from the FA.
 
But i would take a fighting Costa serving a 3 match ban once a season to  a meek Torres sat on his knees begging the referee for help before looking around defeated.
 
People seem to have forgot the major part he played last season. He is violent and he kicks out and gets aggressive but we knew that before he came to us anyway. We need a warrior and a fighter, someone who isn't afraid to get down and dirty and we have that in Costa.
 
Lets not pretend that Drogba had his flaws. I am sure it annoyed everyone how he would spend minutes at a time on the floor going down over the softest touch yet if it wasn't for that same 'habit' we wouldn't have defeated Barca in the Semi-final of the champions league 2012.

When Matic suffered a potentially leg breaking tackle Vs Burnley nothing was done about it. But Diego is getting it for a swinging arm which the red didnt see, apparently. Ridiculously inconsistent.
 
He was very lucky to stay on the pitch but that being said his fighting from the front seemed to work wonders for our team after a very poor start to the season. I hope we can continue this good form.

Costa came into the league with a reputation so defenders are trying to push his buttons on purpose to provoke him. He is kicked and fouled all match but gets on with it, but when he gives a little back the referee penalises him for it because of his previous reputation. I am not saying he is an angel but he is being made out to look a hell of a lot worse than he actually is.

Will never be replaced in my opinion. The solidity at the back, with him there, will definitely be missed. Just as important, the goals he scores will also be missed.

The thought of Chelsea without Terry fills me with absolute dread.

Thank you for everything Drogba.
 
He has the heart, he has always had the heart. He plays as though he is ready to die on the pitch for Chelsea and it showed yesterday. But his body can not keep up with his heart. He will sit on that bench and never complain and for that i love him.

It's just a mob mentality, here's a little story for you. Back when I was at High School this lad had supposedly hit his girlfriend (turns out he didn't really but one guy got wind of a heated argument they'd had) and suddenly everyone wanted to kick his arse. Now they didn't want to because they had any connection to her (hardly any of them knew her) or hated him or even believed what he did was wrong they just wanted an excuse to gang up and beat on someone. Same mentality.

I think Gerrard will get p*ss taking, but not the unbridled vitriol that JT got, off the QPR missing link brigade...He kept his powder dry and his dignity throughout the match, and then stuck it to them...Lovely stuff.

Willian is never going to get crazy stats.
 
That's just not his game.
 
He's not a devastating player.
 
He's a good player with many qualities ..
 
The chief one being he hates Tottenham.

That first touch though.... WOOF! 
 

What a game he had.
 
Played a part in the first goal. An assist for the 2nd and 3rd.
 
THAT pass for the second goal was orgasmic. I think i'm in love.

Took the chance well. Was isolated up top by himself against the defenders and when your forced out of the game for long periods it is tough to get going.
 
Good goal, wasn't expecting that to end up in the back of the net. Thought he would try to get it onto his right and fluff it up in the process.
