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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
