i wouldnt say alot more, but yeah theres a couple of more teams in there usually, but it looks like things are getting more even judging by this season

"even judging?" not sure what it means but i'm assuming it's the same as "one-sided." if so, then point taken.

Jose's brave blue world

CHELSEA are aiming to replace Manchester United as the world’s wealthiest football club.

Jose Mourinho’s side signed a record £50million five-year shirt sponsorship deal with electronics giants Samsung — more than United’s £9m-a-year Vodafone deal.

And Stamford Bridge chief executive Peter Kenyon said: “Our plans are to turn the world blue.”

Kenyon, who was approached by the South Korean firm earlier this year, said: “We needed a company that was recognised globally — especially in the UK, China, Russia and America, countries Chelsea are targeting in the next few years.

"The marketing opportunities are far more critical than the financial sponsorship.”

He added: “I can see a day when we catch Manchester United — on and off the pitch. We can develop our business activities. We’re certainly committed to being less reliant on Roman Abramovich.”

Everyone bashing Chelsea because of the money. Sad, just sad. They might be jealous they dont have a bilionaire giving them money to join. Jose Mourinho would've proven his point with Chelsea without Uncle Roman.
