We were there when John Obi Mikel scored

Saturday was one of those games which define why we love football. It had nothing to do with the game which was fairly average, it had nothing to do with the result which frankly should have been a given. It had everything to do with one man – John Mikel Obi who scored his first Chelsea goal in his last 261 games – a stat which has become a massive feature on this show much to my hilarity, and you would have got massive odds in soccer betting at TopBet.eu Sportsbook on that happening. To say we went mental is an understatement.

Other than that it was most certainly a game of two halves and the win put us top of the table if only for a day. Crisis what crisis? Time to keep calm and support Jose and the team, even if there is an issue with Mata (and possibly Luiz), both of whom were not even in the squad. Well, what minds doesn’t Mata and what Mata’s doesn’t mind in our view. Oh and to top off a great day, Jose completely owned Jamie Redknapp in the post-match briefing.

Carefree & KTBFFH!
