John Obi Mikel missed a year of his footballing career so that he could move from his initial ‘dream’ club, Manchester United, to his second ‘dream’ club, Chelsea. After signing with United, showing up at a press conferences smiling, talking of how lucky he felt he was to be one of our players, he went missing. The next time we saw him he was on Sky Sports News claiming he never wanted to sign for United and wanted to play for Chelsea instead.
Since moving to Chelsea, United have won the league both years as well as beating his team in the European Cup final.
After suffering a humiliating defeat yesterday, Mikel still cannot acknowledge that his side were totally outplayed by United, who for the first time this season, really played well.
“We are all disappointed today,” said Mikel. “We are football players, top football players, and no one likes losing. You get things going wrong like this and it depends how we get on with it and try to fix everything right now. In this time we have to show our strong character, remain as a family and get things right. We were playing really well then the goal went in and it changed the second half. They didn’t play that well, but we conceded goals from set pieces, it isn’t good enough. This season we haven’t really conceded goals from open play. I’ve counted and they are all set pieces, corners, free-kicks, throw-ins, or crosses. It’s something we have to work on. The only one I can think of is against Arsenal which was offside anyway.”

uhhh…the second goal yesterday?
This season we haven’t really conceded goals from open play. I’ve counted and they are all set pieces, corners, free-kicks, throw-ins, or crosses.
Crosses aren’t open play?
Thick bastard.
Playing Devil’s advocate a little bit, i think he should be let off, if you look at the statistics we didn’t thrash them like everyone is making out…don’t get me wrong I thought we played really well and it was the best for a long time…we had 5 shots on target, 3 went in and he’s right it was a lack of concentration that could be blamed for two (maybe all) of them, possession was 51-49, territorial was 47-53, pass success 83-81, shots off target 3-5 but the key one was tackle success 88-59…by the way United were first in all those, it was a great battling perfomance with Giggs, Fletcher, Park awesome and good defensive perfomances and Ron starting to look good but we didnt batter them…if i’d come out of that game as Mikel I might have spun the same line. You don’t usually see the scoreline as the only thing that mattered when you get beat and tend to focus on your own mistakes and points where you could have changed the course of the game so It’s not surprising that conceding from two set-pieces and a bottling John Terry duck you might think you could have nicked a result on a better day….full credit to United though, we couldn’t have asked for more in terms of commitment and we were looking a bit better at the top but shouldn’t forget game was in the balance in first half
Jake, VDS had to make one save hit straight down his throat by A Cole. They didn’t have another shot on target.
oh yeah I know mate, 5-1 shots on target but if you consider they were playing 4-5-1 and coming for the draw, then a lack of concentration for the first was obviously key…like i said, I think they came to nick a result and you have to be focussed at all times at old trafford but if they had of been (as they usually are) it would probably have been 0-0 and they would have been happy with that…all 3 goals were a lack of communication/concentration on chelsea’s part, if I was one of them I would be wondering what might have been too, as Mikel is
How embarrassed chelski fans must be to see him in that picture, how can he be taken seriously when he’s been seen wearing one of their rivals shirts, so glad he showed himself for the money grabbing gobshite he is before it was too late, since he joined chelski we have gone on to become Champions of England,Europe and the world,whats he won? HA!
Let him chat all that shit because everyone knows we dominated the match and played them off the park
3-0 the rentboy chavs got fucking owned.
We didn’t outplay them from a technical standpoint.But we totaly outfought them.I think that’s why Scolari was so worried.Because he saw such desire in a United team missing Carrick,Ferdinand,Scholes and Anderson.But maybe if Ronaldo had put one of his two good chances in,the score would have been bigger and the cunt wouldn’t be talking.He even regards himself as a top player.
Thanks for the £16m boys.
Didn’t play well and they trashed Chelsea 3 – 0.
What would have been the result if they played well the Mr.Mikel…….u’re just acting childish…..that’s what happens when you one gives a blind eye to United……u missed your chance boy.
Look at that traitor in a Man United shirt…., but instead f talking about United’s performance, he should look at his own!
I’m so glad we don’t have him on our team!
Obi your just a bitter and twisted little tosser !!
You must be as sick as fuck watching what could have been for you. A great bit of business thou for united and as stephen said thanks for the £16 mill now fuck off and go and cry on Peter ”Judas’ Kenyons shoulder and just sit and count your money while we count our Trophys.
…and our money. I’ve never had to lend Rooney a tenner.
stupid bastard
So Mikel is talking rubbish again? There’s a shock. We deserved to win, were the better team all over the pitch, and every player won there own individual battle. What more could we ask for.
Just another thought…. when you see the player Mikel has become, isnt getting 12 million for him the best bit of business ever? Personally, i’m just happy he isn’t in our team. And the idea that his performances have made some people nickname his position the ‘Mikelele’ is an insult to what a fine footballer Makelele was.
Reading his interview in the pre-match programme, in which most opposition players normally try especially hard to come across as nice guys, he seems such an arrogant prick. Kept going on about how amazing the central midfield players he has displaced are, and how Scolari told him how important he was to the team, etc.
Good player, massive twat.
Was this thick cunt playing yesterday….. fuck me, what a stupid comment no wonder Scolari got problems with those cunts if they think they played okay against us. Mikel, you lot were fucking shit and you know it, you soft twat.
Sour grapes, shut up obi John or is John obi or Mikel John………………..?
Pretentious rent boy cunt!
Fuck off you mecenary cunt.
Jake, I am not saying Chelsea were absolutely battered into the ground but they were completely outfought and outclassed, Regarding your figures, the total amount of shots on target from the statistics I read in the Telegraph was 11 to Chelsea’s 1 and as the journalist reporting said, it was pretty hard to remember where Chelsea got the 1 shot on target. The other thing is that it is entirely misleading to paint a picture that a couple of slip ups is all that stood between Chelsea and a more favourable result. Tiny Tears and Chec kept Chelsea in the game on several occassions as did the odd unpenalized handball (although not so obviously intentional) and dragging players to the floor in the penalty area. Giggs owned the midfield and Park ran Chelsea’s backline ragged. Evans was fantastic and Vidic a rock in defence. The last 20 minutes were embarisingly one sided with Chelsea only looking interested in the last couple of minutes as they realised United might give them a chance of grabbing a consolation goal – that was when the Reds decided to play out time and spurned opportunities to attack and really humiliate Chelsea.
Sorry Jake but you would have to be a closet Blue to come on here as a red and then try to claim Chelsea came out of that game with any plusses,
1 Girl, 1 Cup, 1 Mikel.
He really does have shit falling out of his mouth *that* often.
How many Chelsea players stood out?
Every United player owned the ball. A completely stress-free second half. That takes some doing. Ha.
Drogba presumably terrified after bad-mouthing the Serbinator recently. He normally defends well at corners at least. Umm – Well no.
red c, I agree we outfought them all over the pitch…That’s what I said and you list the performances I said were good, midfield, park, defence, even ronaldo…and sky has it as 5-1 shots on target…I just say what I think I see mate and in the first half it was pretty even…I said the first goal and lack of concentration was their downfall because they came with 4-5-1 to get a draw or nick a win, that opened the game up for us and even then we didn’t manage lots (possibly one I can remember which was Ronaldo’s disallowed goal) of clear-cut chances in open play in the 2nd half aside from the goal (which was a mistake from terry). Maybe I’m just nit-picking but my point is it wasn’t as emphatic as everyone is reckoning and Chelsea were matching us in the first half, for some reason their heads went down and that’s what lost them the game 3-0 rather than 1-0, they’re not a spent force that can’t play football anymore. They will still finish second and only a few points behind us, they’re not done and dusted like everyone is saying…We played really well and it was better up front but it wasn’t as if we were back to our glorious best, I think there’s more to come which is a good thing.
i say you stop talking you pu**y, f**k face you had the chance to join the best team in the world.
the worlds most exspensive retard.
mikel 15 million pounds.
We should have paid chelski for taking him.
What a lemon.
If these ‘top players’ lacked concentration for a corner
where everything stops to allow them to gather up together and concentrate for 30 seconds, especially after the first corner we scored from was retaken, giving them a second chance to concentrate, then the chumps deserve to finish 5th
he’s fucking shite, thank fuck we didnt get him, gobshite cunt, fuck off and do a leeds you rentboy cunts.
United didnt play well he says… I would take that as a compliment considering the scoreline
Oh Mikel~ What a sore loser you are! haha.. It was your mistake that led to We(ManchesterUnited) getting a corner and scored from it. A stupid pass in your(cocky chelski) penalty box to Park and the rest was history. Btw thanks for the great ASSIST and thanks for not choosing The Red Devils coz we don’t need traitors and sore losers.
Chelsea should be ashamed of his remarks coz he caused the mistake that ASSISTED us..
Hmm I’m wondering, was he trying to the same trick again by saying he love chelsea but helping ManUtd with that WONDERFUL ASSIST? haha.. thanks anyway. 3-0 is a hammering! Just accept that you numbskull.
Glory Glory Man Utd!
our tactics are to press lampard and ballack so their only outlet is mikel. what does that say about the useless cunt.
We should all be glad for people like Mikel! We made money from him though he didn’t play a second for us. We made him look like a fool & won trophies which he could have won with us. His life will always be remembered ‘for what could have been’ and I think he’ll need a head shrink when he finally retires from football to fix that problem in his head. His name ‘Obimikel’ could become a new word as in ‘he did an obimikel when he decided on the wrong club’ & ended his career with fcukoff.
he is as stupid as he talks and plays. we man united thank god of NOT having him in our team in which if we have we could for worst loose our fans as a direct result of his stupid football play.
A fuckin’ complete idiot!.
People, he’s basicly saying we didn’t play on top gear. I’m taking it as a compliment that he said all this shit. Man Utd forever, I’ll keep on supporting them if they go to League 2!! (which will never happen
)
Thank your lucky stars lads. Had you signed obi wan mikel you may never had got Anderson. I know who I’d have.
Whats all the fuss about this FA Committee? You bleated on about Dein for years now Gill is in his position. Do you honestly think that at QC who happens to be a prawn sandwicher at Emirates would show bias towards Chelscum over Manure? What do you want- the entire panel to be made up of Old Trafford season ticket holders? Now that would give Rafa some ammo!
I’m was never completely at ease with the fact that Gill is an exec at the FA for fear we’d be open to accusations of bias (and so it has proved), but then I just think “All the top clubs have (or have had) someone in there – why not us, for once?”
Like I said elsewhere, Rafa wasn’t moaning when he had Chief Exec Barwick (Liverpool fan) doing his level best to get Liverpool back into the CL after the season they finished 5th behind Everton.
your forgetting our very own cron once said to Liverpool , i have always been a big fan come and get me Mr Houlier , we glad he didnt
Shut up Obi before Shittu threatens your family again. Totally outplayed.
THREE R’S AND RED C…spot on guys..brilliant analysis of the game etc
We didn’t play?….all this coming from a man that didn’t wasn’t on the pitch?….what???…. he played?….really?…….don’t recall seeing him all game, so pleased he went to Chelski and we bought Carrick with most of his fee.
We’ll see how important Scolari thinks MIkel is to the Chelski team when Essien comes back. Truth – Mikel won’t be playing, Essien will. With regards to being aboutplayed by United, only for inept officials they would have been beaten 5-0, because we had two perfectly good goals disallowed – knobheads. And they want a respect campaign – yea right.
