My goodness, Newcastle are just abysmal.

City are working so hard just to level the match ... they're gonna need another 45 to actually get the 3 points.

Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread

This City match is like where you start questioning whether FM has predetermined that you'll lose 2-1.

EDIT: LOL, nice try Kolarov. Should have been his 2nd yellow for that blatant dive.

Lol at that WHU player forcing his "injured" teammate to his feet. He's like, this ain't a central America CONCACAF qualifier match..

That was an amazing game, non stop action for 90 minutes. City really should've scored, Adrian was amazing.

Even as a Chelsea fan I am sick of Costa antics but defenders have to know better. This is what he does.

No, referees have to know better. This can't be allowed to happen.

Mike Dean is quite possibly the worst referee there is. This reaction sums it up very well.

It's disturbing that Mike Dean will sleep well tonight, and think he did everything right. It's disturbing that this isn't the last time Costa will get away with his nonsense, nor is it the last time Dean will be a complete idiot.

Costa should have gotten a card when he chest bumped the Centre Back. Y'all would have lost anyway, Wenger sucks. Don't act like the Gunners are choir boys.

He should've had a red when blatantly swung his arm and hit Koscielny ("the Centre Back") in the face.

Right, because it wasn't 0-0 until the red card. Thank you for such detailed analysis and thoughts on the game.

Costa did get a card...the teams had moved up the pitch. But I did the see the ref show Diego a card.

And click on the first YC listed for Chelsea. And you will see that Costa was issued it at the 45th minute.

Lie-ches-ter ain't lyin. And to think they were on the brink of relegation for most of last season!

Re: The 2015-2016 EPL Discussion Thread

Costa is a menace and a bully. He plays like a bull in a China closet and I love it. He gets under his opponent's skin and it's effective.

I want to assume that most of the ire directed at him is just Chelsea hatred but I suspect as much of it is "beautiful game" pansies.

I hope that most of you who are whining are not Americans. I shudder to think that Americans are such pu**ies.

Lol, there's nothing tough or masculine about diving, picking slap fights, and trying to get people sent off. It's playground BS.

I wish my team played with at least half the heart and passion as the Foxes do. They just don't give in until the final whistle.

It's a "slap fight" when people want to berate it. It's a blatant hit when people want to bellyache about it.

Also, Koscielny was the only one who dove.
