'I’d have liked a call from Frank’: Terry & Mikel's Untold Chelsea Tales | The Obi One Podcast Ep.1

[@jonathanhunter7670]

I really hope JT knows that not a single Chelsea fan blames him for Moscow. He will always be Chelsea captain and we will always love him for everything he has done for us

If we had won in Moscow, I think Munich would not have happened, and that feeling of destiny wouldn't have been there. So it evened out

[@lotachukwuuyanne9366]

Mikel’s performance in the 2012 champions league final was severely underrated. He absolutely outclassed Bayern’s midfield

[@lotachukwuuyanne9366]

The crazy part is he was doing everything with one touch. He was an absolute genius on the ball but a beast off it

P.S - Please tell JT to keep pursuing management. He clearly has tons of heart and qualities for it, time is on his side and the right opportunity WILL come along in future!

John "high standards" Terry. Leader, Captain, Legend. Absolutely enjoyed the podcast.

[@mannywhitfield2219]

Nigerians should be very proud of this young man, John Obi Mikel. He speaks well and carries himself well on and off the pitch during his days. He's putting in his poten effort to be a good sport storyteller. He's worth listening to.

[@alistairstewart9975]

Absolutely amazing Podcast. Im 43 and supported Chelsea since the early 90s so I've seen it all. I can safely say that John Obi Mikel is one of the most underrated players ever in the Premier League. John Terry is just a legend. It was brilliant to just listen to the guys chat like i was in the room with them and it made me emotional with JT talking about the penalty miss but also laugh out loud at the stories about Mourinho. Please keep up the great work with the podcast.

[@emmanuelobiwulu4823]

Thinking back, I cannot remember Mikel being directly responsible for any goal. That's immense. I think Mikel was a player before his time because his kind of 6 is more appreciated now that then.

[@jamesbarrett1878]

I think he was overrated. How he stayed so many years at a top club like Chelsea is beyond me.

[@franalytics5995]

@@jamesbarrett1878 another troll

[@ZolaMagic25]

​@@jamesbarrett1878certainly not overrated. Underrated for sure. Considering every single manager that came in saw the value of Mikel, you don't have a clue what you're talking about. He may not have started every game, but he was an important player over the years and saved his best performance in a Chelsea shirt for the final against Bayern. Club legend no doubt

[@jordanslark9747]

To think that he had big shoes to fill he was so good and so underrated he was class. My opinion 2006 -2013 prime premiership.

[@naijamadenurse]

The 2012 champions league was destiny. We were destined to win it that year, considering all that happened on the road to the final and the final itself. Plus, there were a lot of fighters in that team. Sadly, the current crop of Chelsea players lack that mentality. Nonetheless, we'll get there if we can keep this current group together, with a few addition. Big ups Mikel and JT.

[@finsmith8443]

But football is scripted entertainment

[@dewayneeze6686]

JT's take on KDB and Salah is just awesome, and shows his love for Chelsea. He said he takes the blame for the two not making it at Chelsea because he felt he should have done more to help them adjust.

[@noweedimsorry3753]

I stumbled upon the English Premier League after overhearing kids discussing it at school. One evening, I tuned in during Mourinho's first season, and there was something about that Chelsea team that instantly captivated me. Despite being miles away in a different city on a different continent, this club and its players played a significant role in my upbringing. This show has sparked a wave of nostalgia for me!

You wanna know how extremely good this guy is?go watch 2005 u20 world cup final against messi's argentina, 2007 fa cup final against man utd, my personal favorite mikel's performance, he was ridiculously good in that game ,def motm and the obvious one champions league final vs bayern, these games just make go yeah he's that guy lowkey, obi mikel is the most underrated footballer in human history, kante and makalele are the only ones that did it their own way,also rodri and basquet, every dm or cm in football today is a mini mikel, they all play like he used to when no one understood it,he was ahead of his time he created his own lane.

[@samc8183]

Mikel John Obi. The only man whose three names sound G in any order. What a Chelsea Legend! Not highly rated enough in my opinion. People forget that almost every manager Chelsea had over the years rated Mikel. Says it all…What a player! Good luck on the podcast John! Thanks for the great memories/performances at Chelsea.

[@wickedymike]

Talking about Nigerian players, Victor Moses in no way reaches Mikel's legendary status, but his exploits and contributions earn him the status of at least a cult hero at Chelsea. 2012-13 Europa League trophy he was great, but his best ever was the enormous contribution to our 2016-17 Premier League title. He was absolutely mesmerizing that season, absolutely spell-binding! Love him to bits, and doesn't generally get enough recognition for his exploits with us!

[@Chiatv3]

I actually think Thiago Silva has the same standards and levels of leadership and discipline as Terry. But you can tell he has no power in the team. They can’t even give him captain. I mean I love James but he’s not there yet. Let him sit under Silva and learn how to be a leader. The manager should really give Silva the captain and back him to lead this group of young players through their first season. James will get the mentorship he needs to take over at the same time.

[@Saintgabriel8354]

JT, we're still proud of you

[@BigDome1]

That Chelsea team is probably the best example (at least in the modern era) of what having the right set of characters in a team looks like. The spine of Cech, Terry, Lampard, Drogba was not just perfect from a footballing point of view but also just as personalities. And there were so many other exceptional characters in that squad. Of course they were good footballers too but I think what really set them apart was their mentality. They didn't have the kind of raw talent that some other teams had, but they got every ounce of quality out of themselves and each other. As much as I hated them at the time, I can fully appreciate what an iconic team it was now.

[@CarlitoGio]

What a fun podcast. Runny porridge v thick porridge lol Right Drogbas gonna score the pen, ready to celebrate lol They just had eachothers back and such a great moment when we won the champs. Well deserved after so many heartache. We should have won more champions league but at least is happened ❤
