And Gents,
Like I posted earlier,
What I dislike about Diego Costa is his playground bully tactics that he goes round nicking every other kids dinner money and bullying them and as soon as one of the other kid's stand up to him, he goes crying to the headmaster.
He can play rough, its a man's game, but he should learn how to take it if another player retaliates.

Move on mate, just move on.

Your getting boring mate! Time to get back to the arsenal page I think.

I do feel dags, I hate that he can't take it.

If anyone is interested there's a great article on ssn about this topic.
Think it illustrates quite well a few of our arguments in favour of Costa and how he's important to the squad.

The entire point of Costa antagonising his opponents is to get them to react and either buy a foul, pen or get them sent off. If he doesn't run to the ref and cry like a baby then its unlikely he'll get a decision.
How many times do we hear commentators mention that a lack of reaction/ going down, meant a team missed out on winning a penalty. The fact of the matter is, unless you force the ref to make a decision, they don't give many decisions.
If Koscielny had dropped to the floor clutching his face when Costa hit him, I guarantee Costa would have gotten a red card. We might not like the play acting but it's sometimes needed in order to force the ref into making a decision imo.
