Chelsea ‘better than’ Arsenal, finally the ‘real’ Reece James & unsung hero Pedro Neto

The Obi One Podcast

Show Notes

John Obi Mikel and Chris McHardy are back in the hotseats as they pour over Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with league leaders Arsenal.

Did Moises Caicedo deserve his red card? And what did we learn about Chelsea as again, in the big games, they come to the fore.

Obi has words of praise for an embattled star AND one of Enzo Maresca’s trusted lieutenants, while he again questions whether Arsenal have what it takes to finally rid themselves of the “bottlers” tag.

There’s also war stories from Obi’s career during UK winters, with the snood - a favourite among many footballers - coming under attack. Plus a former Blues defender is hailed after guiding Flamengo to Copa Libertadores success in South America.
