Arsenal Fans Rip up Hoardings

And there you go! Your best reply to prove your worthiness of respect is a cheap shot at a former Arsenal player. It's laughable.

What did you think, that I condone Adam's behaviour? I'm sure no Chelsea player past or present has ever done anything wrong in his private life, certainly not one of your finest ever defenders, for example.

Wengie got a new Bird yet ?

There was only one article I remember from the Chelsea board saying that Costa should have been sent off.

I'm sure the bad rep the Chelsea fans have got is due to a minority but like someone already said, it doesn't help when you have such a self centred, obnoxious manager who is disliked worldwide.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Perhaps there was only one article but many, actually I would say about 95% of Chelsea fans know that Costa should have been sent off.

Saying that we shouldn't have respect because something our manager has said is silly. All managers say what's they think is right for the club (most of the time).

I said from the beginning on Saturday that Costa should have gone. But I still think that Gabriel's red should have stood. Or the red cancelled and a yellow in his place, giving him a 1 match ban

I think he'll (Gabriel) get a one match ban later today for failing to leave the pitch anyway.

It depends whether you blindly agree with him and back him up regardless of how ignorant his comment are. I just don't think you'll get any respect from other fans doing that.

On the face of it it probably does deserve a punishment, but I wonder if they felt that the injustice caused by Mike Dean (effectively a 3-point deduction) was enough. If Costa goes and Gabriel stays the 3 points go the other way...

I understand what you are saying but it doesn't necessarily work that way. I remember Chelsea winning 1-0 once at Goodison Park against Everton and we played a large amount of the game with 10 men after Joe McGlaughlin was sent off, so to claim 3 point deductions at 0-0 is a bit presumptious.

Oh and just for the record all of my mates think Costa should have been sent off and were surprised that he stayed on. He will certainly be under the spotlight (and rightly so) from now on and will probably end up getting sent off whether he deserves it or not.

I see your point and it makes sense. However, surely they should follow the rule book? Which is the reason why they are so inconsistent with their punishments.

Outrageous behaviour !

Don't worry tho we are going to start a petition

That's pretty much what happened to Suarez wasn't it? Can't say I sympathise but it is a shame as you do want the best players in our league.

It's hard to disagree with that. I think the rule book tends to be quite vague and open to interpretation (likely that's deliberate).


so to claim 3 point deductions at 0-0 is a bit presumptious.

Of course, however I think the game was fairly even so either losing one player would likely have been the death knell, particularly for us as we can't defend very well with 11 players!

however I think the game was fairly even

Thats only because you were viewing it through Wengers bargain basement beer goggles. You lot were under pressure most of the game with no clear cut chances created. I think you were going to lose either way, nothing in the stats to suggest otherwise. Chelsea have a high percentage of foreign players who have low or no command of the English language and yet opposition fans and the press choose to slaughter these players with comments taken totally out of context even though the real sentiment is known you all twist what is said to suit your agendas, as proved by the recent comments by Zouma saying Costa loves to cheat, all know he meant exagerate or playact but the word cheating is picked up on and worked to death.
