From Football365 which I think takes a fairly level approach to most teams.

 

'Sorry' Stevie Escapes Stick

Tabloid headlines on the morning after Diego Costa's stamps versus Liverpool: Costa's Shame (Daily Star), Dirty Diego (The Sun), Headcase (Daily Mail), Stampford Bridge (Daily Mirror).

Tabloid headlines on the morning after Steven Gerrard and Martin Skrtel stamps: I'm Sorry (Daily Star), Gerro: All My Fault (The Sun), I'm Sorry (Daily Mail), I'm So Sorry (Daily Mirror).

Martin Samuel in the Daily Mail even writes 'it is possible to have sympathy for Gerrard's misguided desire.' He just 'wanted it too much' apparently. Diddums.

While Gerrard escaped criticism, Neil Ashton still managed to refer to Costa as a 'hot-head' whose performance against Hull on Sunday was 'full of sly digs and elbows'. Ashton also, of course, mentions Costa's stamp against Liverpool. 

Alan Smith went even further in The Times, devoting two thirds of a page to explaining why Costa 'has no need for his ugly streak' but just 65 words to Gerrard's stamp on Herrera.

Anyone would think there was some sort of campaign against Chelsea...

Fantastic post, top notch. I apologise to the posters whom I disagreed with previously on this exact thread, you were all right, I was wrong - they bloody hate us.

Anyone would think there was some sort of campaign against Chelsea...

 

Nah it's all in the imaginations of us paranoid tin foil hat wearers....

In the irony to end all ironies, it's Des Kelly who's pointed out the lack of outrage over Gerrard's stamp.

This alone shows the difference the media take when it's a Chelsea player and anyone else.

Pathetic.

Neil Ashton is a c**t and hates Chelsea, on Sunday Supplement he's supposed to take the Linekar role, presenting questions and been impartial yet he's always having little digs at us and Jose.

of course there is not an orchestrated campaign by the journos and TV pundits against Chelsea

 

and as we know from politics, media opinion does not influence people. Refs and others at FA 

disciplinary panels etc. are in fact just people, despite their pleas of neutrality

 

so lets relax and enjoy all their wonderful articles and TV bits on Liverscum, Arse and Scum United and 

plucky under dogs Man Shi**y knowing that the factual and un-biased reporting that is a cornerstone 

of a UK free press and media is happening, as we on here debate this very issue

 

The one thing that genuinely amazes me the most about the tabloid headlines and pieces about Gerrard is how none of them picked up how he publicly apologised to the fans, his team mates and the manager but completely failed to apologise to Ander Herrera the guy who he stamped on.

Spot the difference? From Twitter;

Amazing how similar they all are.

The word homogenous springs to mind.

Just seen this posted on another site. Tells you all you need to know about how we are reported compared to other clubs, and bears out the blatant press bias on display in the above picture:

 

 

Sky Sport News app - Skrtel could face same ban for treading on De Gea as Costa got for stamping on Can.

That's a disgrace

FFS Words fail me.

 

Was just going to post this.

If it's real, the club should withdraw from speaking with Sky immediately.

It might also shut Blue Daze up!

Is that real?! Or Photoshop?! Outrageous.

Apparently he's a Wycombe Wanderers fan?

Wow they really posted that pic?

Any need for that? Positivity dude.

Anyone with a link?

If that's real that's beyond despicable.

For such a serious crime to be used as an opportunity to gratuitously cast our club in a bad light, well ..

Words fail me.

Please don't let that be true.

He has a home in Fulham apparently, but what is the source of the pic?

It might also shut Blue Daze up!

not a chance.

If true that's disgusting.

I don't think it is, none of the pictures attached to the Sky News article, on Twitter or otherwise, are of him in the Chelsea shirt.

 

According to Wikipedia he supports Wycombe anyway.

Unbelievable.

Not real

Take a look at @SkyNews's Tweet: https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/580044711639011329?s=01

If it's not real whoever generated it should be taken to task.

This is the front page of the City newspaper this morning. Now with that headline are you thinking it's an individual or a huge company that have MANY partners? Yep, it's a bloody company CWM, who the f*ck?! It looks like they & CFC have some sort of marketing deal in place. Then that's it, it then goes onto the actual fraud story. Sigh.
