Bibgate. There's no avoiding it. We're not suggesting you use that name, just that it's definitely going to happen.
Diego Costa was left marooned on the Chelsea bench during the 0-0 draw with Spurs on Sunday afternoon.
Jose Mourinho chose to use just two substitutes, a decision which left Costa visibly frustrated and John Obi Mikel visibly amused with the striker.

Asked about the Spanish international's casting aside of the apparel, Mourinho responded that it will take more than a bib to hurt him.
