September 21, 201312 yr and to think, all that worrying about Lampard leaving last season, and we had a goalscoring midfielder right under our noses the whole time! onwards and upwards for Jon Obi from here
September 21, 201312 yr and to think, all that worrying about Lampard leaving last season, and we had a goalscoring midfielder right under our noses the whole time! onwards and upwards for Jon Obi from here I think its now obvious that Lampard has been holding Mikel back all these years.
September 21, 201312 yr Finishing just went up 10 points in fifa 14 I have Mikel on my FIFA 13 Ultimate Team & he always finds the back of the net. Ok maybe not every match, but in a season he will get 2 or 3 goals for me.
September 22, 201312 yr Love this thread! Fair play John obi, his face after the goal was a picture lol.
September 22, 201312 yr It was the best goal I've ever seen. Mikel scores when he wants, he just didn't want to until now.

September 22, 201312 yr That was really funny last 5 minutes or so at the Bridge. Every time Mikel touch the ball whole stadium screamed "SHOOT!" and lot of fun on stands as well. Edited September 22, 201312 yr by Tomcat
September 22, 201312 yr Haven't stopped smiling since it happened - what a day Shame you weren't in chat, I know you were going crazy when that he scored (or when you found out). Edited September 22, 201312 yr by Arq
September 22, 201312 yr Shame you weren't in chat, I know you were going crazy when that he scored (or when you found out). Ah sorry mate, I did want to come in so we could have our own celebration but I had people round - a lot of them looked quite shocked at my reaction. Woke up grumpy but have been totally bowled over by the well-deserved outpouring of love Mikel has received since yesterday: http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/2013/9/21/4755958/mikel-scores-a-goal-everyone-goes-nuts I hope this is the moment in which he won everyone over.
September 22, 201312 yr Ive been reading everywhere how us Blues are surprised obi scored a goal....TRUST ME....No one was more surprised than Obi himself
September 22, 201312 yr I hope this is the moment in which he won everyone over. He certainly has me, these last few days
September 22, 201312 yr That was really funny last 5 minutes or so at the Bridge. Every time Mikel touch the ball whole stadium screamed "SHOOT!" and lot of fun on stands as well. i can imagine the computer struggled to process that one! "Enter Goalscorer: Jon Mikel Obi 12" *ERROR: Command Not Recognised*
September 22, 201312 yr I might stick a pound on him finishing the season with double figures. Now that one has gone in the floodgates will Shurrley open.
September 22, 201312 yr http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajl1ZYrFTXw Neil Barnett is a legend. Brilliant - love that he has a sense of humour about it, to be honest I hope it made his day as much as it made mine...
September 22, 201312 yr It seems fitting that he has scored at a time when he's been one of our better players this year as well. Seems like a genuine guy. Well in John Obi
September 22, 201312 yr Obi has matured as a man great amount. He seems like a humble and nice bloke which in this footballing world is not that common. There is always the two camps on Mikel; he contributes nothing or he is solid DM that does good work that is not too apparent to the eye. I think he is both. In some games he is useless and in some he is just very valuable. Let the goalscoring spree continue =)
September 22, 201312 yr I think he's made a few toure esque bursts this season. he isnt the fastest but he is strong on the ball and I think its something he should keep doing. In the past he has tended to check back and play it simple which stops us countering. Now if he can start playing a few more killer balls I think he can win a few of the doubters over.
September 22, 201312 yr I've been really happy with him this season as well. He deserves to be starting at the moment. The goal couldn't have come at a better time in the terms of squad morale. His scoring has been a running joke for years and everyone looked especially delighted for him.

Let the goalscoring spree continue =) luckily the games in which he is very valuable tend to be the big games (i.e Champions League Final). not always the best performer, but he's a big-game player and thats why jose likes him, and why i wouldnt leave him out of any final
