His career subtly went downhill from the day he left here . All the blokes in that Barca dressing room that tapped him up relentlessly and made such a fuss about Barca DNA , I didn't hear a word out of them when he left .

Think his overall game suffered as he became primarily a final third player.
Too much of a role player, not much else to his game anymore.

On another note, is it just me or has Costa toned down his antics so far this season?
I just haven't heard much about him this season.
Wouldn't be surprised if it had more to do with managers encouraging to play like that i.e. Simeone and Mourinho.

I thought the same. Even against us he seemed a lot less like his usual self. He sort of just let Koscielny and Mustafi run amok without trying any of his usual antics. I know he ran up to the ref and got a yellow but that's tame compared to the normal **** he pulls. I'm not complaining though.
Maybe Conte just doesn't like that sort of style.

Of course it has to do with managers.
Do you remember the animal that was Pepe under Mourinho ?
No wonder he was riled up pre-match and then ended up getting a 10 match ban for kicking an opponent in the ground.
Similar with Ramos and his antics of "bravery".
Then on each El-Classico, whenever Real couldn't touch the ball, they resorted to cynical fouls, playacting, pure thuggery and what not.

Costa needs to up the antics IMO. Peak Costa was under Simeone when he played great and was a nasty ****bag as well. Too much of a nice guy right now.

If you're talking about Pepe kicking that getafe player that was on the ground, that was under Juande Ramos. Pepe was an animal before Mourinho. He only bettered his life in the last couple years. But I agree with your point!

I almost felt sorry for him until I remembered how he engineered his move out of Arsenal.
One of Wenger's best decisions was not to take him back at the club when a lot of fans were clamoring for it (Cesc was obviously pushing for it as well). We would have stuck with this albatross around our neck now.

A Wilshere and Fabregas CM partnership is on the cards from January at Bournemouth. 5 years ago today I would have laughed at your face for saying something like that.

I dont know about that. I distinctly remember him escaping a couple sending offs at the start of the season and on top of that in both instances he went on to score the winner later (I remember because I was fuming at the time/go in a argument about it with my mate who supports Cheslea).
Maybe since then Conte saw that he could cost them points with his antics but at the start of the season I saw no change.*
*That was also back when refs were actually enforcing new rules about respecting the ref and in each game Costa got a yellow for descent. Yet in both games later on Costa committed a clear yellow card foul and they let him off since they didn't want to send him off...defeating the whole ****ing point of the new rule.

I don't actually mind Chelsea anymore and I respect Conte the beef all along was with Jose and his dirty antics.

I still mind them.....They have Terry, Costa, Ivanovic and some other punchable ones. Conte is a straight shooter though. I respect him.

Bizzare injury for a football player

Let's not get too pally with those rotters!
Chelsea made 'secret payment' after former chief scout Eddie Heath was accused of sexual abuse by youth player
The allegations concern Heath, who is now dead, and a former youth player who is alleged to have been sexually abused during the 1970s

What an effing dodgy ****ing club. Amazing when you see all the ****ery they've been up to.

I don't want them to be deducted points. If we win the league it'll be all "Chelsea would've walked it if they never had that points deduction."
We're gonna have to win it outright.

Still counted as a title. Now no one cares how Chelsea won titles a decade back.
