DIEGO COSTA SHOULD BE GIVEN A RETROSPECT BAN

I HATE the feeling of being angry, especially when it is about something I have no control over. But I'm still livid about Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. My anger is not so much about the loss itself. It is about that ugly son of bitch, Diego Costa.

If you watched the lunchtime kick off, you will probably agree with me that Costa is a horrible excuse for a football player. He is a disgrace.  For the record, I don't doubt Costa's abilities as a player. I think he is a good player. But he is a good player who always treads a fine line and he went way beyond it in yesterday's match. Costa's aggressive behaviour has no place in football.

Also, though it is no surprise, it still infuriates me that Jose Mourinho can defend his player's appalling behaviour. There's one thing worse than a bad loser and that's a bad winner.

How can Mourinho claim, "He played the game like it should have been played."???Chelsea are bullies who are full of themselves, from the top all the way down. Danny Baker quite brilliantly likened the Club to a chav that wins the lottery, he was spot on.

Mourinho cannot say Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger, should stop 'crying' after every Chelsea defeat when he is the one who cries and blames everyone but himself when his team loses. Mourinho is on record blaming referees, his own players and his own team doctors in the wake of Chelsea defeats. Jose is the biggest hypocrite of all time and an enemy of football who's never spoken a word about football worth remembering.

Anyway, I came here to talk about is Costa and not his bullish and arrogant coach. The FA should review the situations involving Costa throughout the game not just the ones involving Laurent Koscielny and Gabriel. By the letter of the law, he should've had 8 yellow cards and 2 red and I could've missed some. How the referee Mike Dean missed all of those, yet picked up on two tiny infringements by Santi Cazorla and sent him off, I have no idea.

I should also mention about Gabriel's naivety. It was naive for Garbriel to stick his studs up against Costa in full view of the referee. I understand he was irked, but that was plain dumb. Costa enjoy getting under the the skin of opponent players and Garbriel fell for it hook, line and sinker.

The Premier League should throw the book at Diego Costa.

REMEMBERING SEPTEMBER 11


FOURTEEN years ago today, thousands of innocent people lost their lives in the US terror attacks.

As someone once put it, "on that terrible day, a nation became a neighborhood, all Americans (if not the whole world) became New Yorkers."
I will never forget that day, where I was, who I was with or how I felt. Rest in peace to the innocent people that lost their lives on September 11, 2001.
My thoughts and prayers are with all victims and their families, friends and loved ones and the thousands who continue to suffer from illnesses caused by the toxic smoke and debris at Ground Zero.
Remember, this is not a day to entertain conspiracy theories or wallop in Islamophobia. Do not generalize. Empathize and employ a broader thought process.
Also, if there is a lesson to learn from this tragedy, we learn that life is short and there is no time for hate.
