No. But the quality of our squad has meant we have reached the E.L final and got to the semis in both cups as well. On top of that we won 2 trophies last year. A good squad is measured by performances in all competitions, not just points in the league. If we only played 38 league games, i think we'd be more than 3 points better off than you.
Where did you see that? I'm pretty sure Whoscored use OPTA and they have Sessegnon top, followed by Pienaar, followed by Maloney, followed by Snodgrass and then finally Hazard. And what is it supposed to prove anyway? There's no point arguing with it, you saw what you saw and that won't change.

You pay peanuts you get monkeys. That's the fundamental difference between Spurs and Chelsea. For you it's cost, for us it's value. Admittedly Spurs don't have the kind of resources we do but we are prepared to pay that little extra for the long term gain, hence why we win things and Arsenal/Spurs don't. We can afford to pay our players twice as much as Spurs due to having a wealthier owner, generating higher revenue streams and offering Champions League football on a yearly basis. Mata, Ramires and Luiz have more than justified their price tag in the short time they've been with us having won us the Champions League and FA Cup. Could well win the Europa League as well and even the Premier League next season if Mourinho comes back. Im sure Hazard and Oscar will be the same too.
Wasn't Mike Dean who got the call wrong, it was the linesman. He got several wrong, but all mighty close, so I'm not seeing bias there. Didn't think the ref did a whole lot wrong either, only a few dodgy decisions, and they went both ways. CFC were the better team, but we blew 2 easy goals early, and Ramires slipped because some plonker decided to soak the pitch. That bloody Adebayor did for us again, as he often does. He plays crap all year then shines against us !!! Tiredness and very poor subs cost us in the end, as we ran out of steam with 15 mins left.
