Diego Costa is like a mard-arse version of Peter Withe. Withe was a horrible, awkwardly shaped individual. All elbows, fists, snarls, confrontation and goals.

I’m old enough to remember […]
Read more "(We All Want To Go To) Chelsea"You have to love a League Cup away. There was an appetite for that last night. An appetite on the pitch and an appetite on the terraces.
