Costa Convicted! page 12.

[Gladstonian Liberal]

I'm a bit disappointed in Chelsea appealing against the charge rather than take it on the chin. He was as guilty as hell. Obviously so. For Chelsea to robustly deny what was pretty bleeding obvious shows a lack of class as personified by the unpleasant, cynical and undignified Mourinho.

What Abramovich and the Board were thinking, is beyond belief. Chelsea are supposed to be a big club. Well, they certainly haven't behaved like one.

Just so classless.

I hope you mancs beat them tomorrow and then go on to win the title. Serves them right!

Sorry if that sounds a bit strong but I find the cynicism and unpleasantness of Chelsea under Mourinho quite despicable.

Rant over

Well said GL. Sums up my take on it exactly.

Re: Costa Convicted!

Bloody hell "convicted" is he jihady John or summat.

Cousins I believe .

I can't for the life of me see what Chelsea/Mourhino hoped to gain from appealing Costa's thuggery. Any one of us has got more chance of winning the lottery than Costa had of getting off that charge.

Maureen wants the chavs to think he's one of them, that he's leading from the front, battling on their behalf, peering out of his window from Rourke's Drift and seeing the FA natives after their pound of flesh.
Everywhere he goes he tries to create a them and us situation, but that act is wearing a little thin now. Even some chavs can see beyond the parody that he's become.

There is only one club left for him in this country, and they would be ideally fucking suited to one another.

He's ostensibly trying to get the players brainwashed with the 'Us vs Them' delusion, so that they will perform better than they usually do, every match. He's already got the club and fans believing this crap.

Problem is he's feeding into the dislike refs and official have for him. Can fully envisage a situation where the decisions against Chelsea get worse and worse precisely because of him trying to create this 'victim' mentality within his squad. He would've been far far smarter if he'd simply sidestepped the Costa stamp questions after Tuesday, not appealed the ban, and come out today in a press conference and said Costa needs to calm down. This is to me is no different than a succession of Liverpool managers making excuses for Suarez's transgressions.

No place for thuggery in the game. Just a pity that the FArce are not consistent across the season with charges of violence.

I could believe Costa and Mourinho when they say he wasn't looking at the player. I think that Costa doesn't give a flying flea where he stands - on the grass, on the touchline, on a shinbone, or on an ankle

You're forgetting how many Mourinho sycophants there are in the English press. Durham is currently ranting on talksport about the agenda against Chelsea. He's spitting venom and saying the ban is ridiculous and "Aguero gets away with stuff like this all the time".
I hope Miss Kloss is listening and on the phone to them right now.

The FA is spineless and if there is a media backlash against them, they will crumble and start to dance to Mourinho's tune.

The fact is if he loses the fight for title this season, he is gone as top club manager. No other top club will appoint him, none, zero.... he can get Galatasaray or something like that but top level football had enough of him and being ultra successful with Chelsea to don't give a reason to Abramovich to sack him is his last chance at top. Any non ultra successful scenarios and Abramovich will wave goodbye to him as he surely is not enjoying watching the mad idiot making his club through all this bullshit.

Nah, Durham is just troll, he'll speak whatever will make people talking about it. There is no much love in media for Mourinho this time. Yes, he is giving media material to write about but he is not media darling anymore.

It makes it seem (in chavski fans' eyes) all the more unjust. Maureen is trying to play the win win game: They grab 3 points and they've succeeded against all odds - 'You tried to stop us but we triumphed over the FA' etc. They lose, 'We can't compete with the FA against us' etc. Either way he comes out of it smelling of roses (again, in the eyes of chavski fans).
