I hope sinizia read this.

Look man, I watched that match, the whole world probably watched it too. So nothing anyone says will gloss over the truth. If only you weren't biased you should have been musing over Gab's red card appeal being upheld while Costa is in for a 3-match ban. There's a reason Zouma called Costa a cheat and all pundits and players and viewers are blaming the móron, Dean. I can't expect anything objective from you as a shekpe fan whom Dean's stupidity favored after all Mouthino saw no wrong in the old man in kid's body (Costa) antics. So nothing you or anyone will say will change the stupidity of Dean. My mind is made up on the mediocre officiating. It's an old news!!

Diego with just three match ban? Absolute rubbish and let off. Anyways, referees will be on the lookout for him forthwith.

My point is that anyone that said Chelsea had upper hand before the red card issue was a biased-shekpe fan to you. That is what I tackled by quoting a non-shekpe fan to clear your delusion. You have right to continue deceiving yourself. But I think it's high time you set aside sentiments and analyse soccer the way it should be sensibly done. Ciao.

Busy days mostly.

No worry, I am back to terrorize una lives for that manure thread.

What a coincidence, una lose, you kan dey busy, no wahala, we dey wait for you

why not then rescind Matic's ban totally instead of taking a match of the 3 match ban the law states. Are you saying that a player is free to commit offences because they were provoked by an opponent in a game? Also, why didn't the FA review Barnes's behaviour and reward him with retrospective punishment last season? Are the actions of Costa more despicable than that of Barnes?

My point is, upper hand don't win matches but goals. With all the "upper hand" shekpe didn't score. Then came Dean's madness and Costa's theatrics and suddenly shekpe scores, and you are here telling me some upper hand BS. I wonder why "upper hand" hasn't won matches against City and co. Upper hand my black azz.

No, I'm not debating any of those points wrote down, nothing concerns me with FA's punishment post-Shekpe vs Assnal match. ALL I'm saying is that Dean ruined a good match with his jaundiced officiating and cost Assnal the match. That's all.

What do you mean ruined? Was Gabriel's conduct not deserving of a red card, or Santi's either?

Timbuktou:

I meant ruined by Dean's glaring dumb decision of leaving Costa on that pitch. I don't even know why you'd be asking me such question in the first place. And where did I say Gab or Santi are not deserving of their cards?

Timbuktou:

If Gabriel's conduct was deserving of a red card the FA would not have rescinded it.

I may have to recommend new drugs for you, seems your condition is worse than thought.

My personal view is that we'd likely have lost even 11 against 11 so I'm not particularly bothered - another game is nearly upon us so no time to dwell too much on a bad week. Beat Spurs and things will feel a lot better. . . .lose again and the pressure will become quite severe.

Thank goodness this is your personal view. But it is not true. Did you read what Ramsey about their game plan with Chelsea? They were playing according to a game plan. Their game plan was to get Chelsea tired and frustrated after letting them bring out all the forces they had against Arsenal. They knew that once they can soak up all the pressure that Chelsea was bringing, the Chelsea fans will start getting agitated (knowing the poor record that Chelsea was on so far in the league) and then Arsenal was ready to hit back. So far, the plan was working well. Not until Goat-Dean became the obtuse foool that he is and changed the whole game.

Anyways, that is bygone now. On to the next game.

Costa deserved nothing more than a yellow for whatever he did. Feel free to point out where any action of his deserved a red.

The referee should have sent off gab and Costa that the obvious mistake dean made

debosky:

So, we can say the FA not rescinding Matic's red card last season was bias or incompetent or inconsistent? Or the rules have been changed in line with the new season?

Timbuktou:

Guy chill. Poking Koscielnys eyes twice, chest bumping him to the ground, the tackle on Oxlade. Immediately after the tackle, Mourinho hooked him. Go and watch he game again.

Timbuktou:

Yeah, Costa doesn't deserve more than a Yellow card yet the FA has just slammed the irritant with a 3-match ban and Gab that deserves his Red card has had his Red card appeal upheld and his sanction cancelled. What an astute sense of judgment from you.. Bravo!!

I applaud you for wasting your time to spell out Costa's pathetic antics. The FA has just slammed the ill-mannered kid with a 3-match ban, that's a punishment for someone that "supposedly" deserves a yellow card only by his standards, while the person that deserves a red card has been vindicated and pardoned. Na you get time to dey list Costa's madness acts. Kontinu.

That obnoxious dolt called Costa should have been handed a five match ban. He really needs anger management classes. So-called man of the match getting banned for 3 games. Shows you the dangerously self-deluded world that Mourinho lives in.

Even his fellow Chelsea player (Zouma) clearly called Costa a CHEAT on video.

I had to. He was becoming illogical

Very astute, indeed. Thanks for the compliment.

I don't know what happened in Matic's case so I can't compare. What I do know is that Mike Dean had a terrible game and two of his errors have now been retrospectively fixed by the FA.

Mind, there has been no retrospective charge against Barnes till date and upon appeal, Matic had just a day rescinded from his 3-match ban. In the very next game against Newcastle, which Matic didn't play Chelsea lost.

Meanwhile, here's a classy player Sanchez punching Ivanovic, no retro actions either.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7szAQKY6eOg

What's the comparison between a mistimed tackle by Barnes and unprovoked thuggery by Costa?

Matic ran to the player and pushed him over - did Gabriel do the same?

Nothing to compare here. If you're referring to pushes, how many times did Costa push Gabriel without being punished for it?

Timbuktou:
Pickabeau1, would you say Gabriel being let off the hook has any merit to it?

Both players should have been sent off

Costa aggressively double palms Koscienly to the face

Costa Swings his left hand backwards to the face of Koscienly

Costa invades the space of Koscienly with a chest bump

Costa attempts a choke hold on Gabriel leaving trails of his grab on opponents neck region

Costa hits Gabriel twice to the chest in the presence of the referee

Costa is engaged in a heated albeit vulgar exchange with Gabriel

Yet some fans are convinced his ban is unjust, it is shameful our sense of moral justice is extinct all in the name of football

#For the records I do not absolve Gabriel of any wrongdoing but Costa deserves the ban and I am glad there is retrospective inquiry in the EPL.

so we can lose nd become trophyless abi...
Den u come again with Wenger has no excuse , he has to win d league

Pataki:


Back to Arsenal now, since we are not certain for how long Le Coq is out, should we replace him with either Flamini or Arteta? Personally, I think we should give Flamini a try-out against the Spurs tomorrow. So here is my team for tomorrow:

------------Ospina----------------
Debauchy-Per-Chambers-Gibbs-
-------Flamini-Ramsey----------
---Oxlaide--Sanchez
------------Giroud----------------

Unless it is a semi final, this Tottenham game is not worth it. You do not want to risk injuries or suspensions for the likes of Sanchez, Oxlaide and Giroud on the more important league matches because of a mere league cup game.

Wenger- Gabriel deserve a red card,I agree


But some people will be foaming in the mouth telling us Gabriel doesn't deserve ban
