Diego Costa vs ‘Moral Outrage’

Anyone and everyone with an opinion for sale wants to see action taken against him with former referee Graham Poll one of the more prominent dissenting voices, not that this is unusual of course, as ...

WIN RESPECT AS WELL AS MATCHES
BICKERING MOURINHO AND WENGER NEED TO WIN RESPECT AS WELL AS MATCHES If you cannot control your emotional responses in top-level sport then you are not worthy of any respect.
