On a happier note, Chelsea winning tonight has just rendered West Ham's winning of the "we beat Spurs trophy" null and void. @riggi
Your first mistake was to use logic...
Urgh I had the other thought that given how close both WBA and Watford pushed them, imagine if we'd had kept applying that pressure. Would they have cracked?Bollocks to logic, their win over us means absolutely fuck all now. And I'm celebrating that like the petty minded **** I am.

Most probably - but pressure does funny things - as we've seen in the last couple of seasons. Watford got stuck into them tonight though - they weren't on the beach.If they hadn't already won the title, they would have played their full strength side tonight and destroyed Watford.
Argh - with Aaron Winter - double deal £10m. I remember it well. Fuckin Alan.What if sugar signed Bergkamp?

the watford game shows how lucky Chelscum got....they have NO depth.
Forget Europe, if they had got the equivalent injuries over the course of the season they wouldn't have come close to winning the title. Imagine if they lost Aspy, Luiz, Cahill for the same time periods as Rose, Toby and Verts were out. And the same for Costa in comparison to Kane and, say, Willian for Lamela.....they'd barely get CL
Not really! They've got a hell of a squad, purely 'cause of their resources. If they'd lost Aspi, that would have knocked them. But, they have so many attacking MF threats in their squad, they could have even got away with losing Costa for a while.Yup definitely...infact I'm surprised people aren't making more of this.

If they lost Luiz like you say, they have Zouma who's been warming the bench, and could step in at any time. Terry still does a job, and Ake did well against us. They have a squad, they got lucky this season re injuries no doubt. No CL no EL, we know that.They lost their wing backs for 2 games last month and looked totally out of sorts, if David Luiz was out for 2 months do yiu really honestly think they'd be a solid as they were?
Very strange hearing Spurs fans say this...I have a Chelsea supporting colleague who is a ST holder and he even admitted it when I pointed it out to him.
The evidence shows that one team has depth and that's us. They've made 38 changes all season in the league and nine of them were last night. They've had no injuries or Europe to navigate. They might have names on the bench, but 14 players have played for them with regularity this season. We've had big players out for big periods and pushed them pretty hard. One team has shown they have a capable squad, the other showed they have a strong first XI and couple of subs.If they lost Luiz like you say, they have Zouma who's been warming the bench, and could step in at any time.

Don't know why you think it's strange for a Spurs fan to give an opinion. They have a squad we don't have their depth, 'cause they have the dosh. Willian, Bats, Pedro, Fabregas, Zouma often on their bench!
FFS, last thing I want to do is argue on behalf of Chelsea! We had significant injuries during the season, Chelsea didn't. We had CL then EL, Chelsea didn't. That happened this season.The evidence shows that one team has depth and that's us. They've made 38 changes all season in the league and nine of them were last night.

But now you've shifted the argument. Are you talking about squad depth, or the amount of money spent?FFS, last thing I want to do is argue on behalf of Chelsea! We had significant injuries during the season, Chelsea didn't. We had CL then EL, Chelsea didn't. That happened this season.
Chelsea's bench compared to ours reflects their financial resources. And it showed during the cup semi. How many games did Zouma, Fabregas, Bats, Willian play this season?
