Chelsea Will Make Top Four – Mikel Obi
Super Eagles midfielder, Mikel Obi, will not rule out Chelsea finishing in the top four in the English Premier League, although the club lies in the relegation zone.
“We have to win every game now. The top four is still achievable, we can still do it so why not? It is not beyond our reach,” africanFootball.com quoted Mikel as saying on Chelsea website.
“The cups are always important as well. We are still in the Champions League, the FA Cup is going to start very soon so we have to take those very seriously at the same time. But we also want to concentrate on the league because we know we have to push up the table.”
Mikel became the 21st player to make 350 appearances in Chelsea’s 110- year history after coming on as a second-half substitute in the 2-2 draw with Watford on Boxing Day.
“I want to push on and see how many more appearances I can get. For me it has been a great time here.
“I still enjoy it and ever since I walked into this football club, I knew this was the place for me,” he said.
Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo rewrite the record books
It was a good weekend for Nigeria in the English Premier League as Super Eagles duo of Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo attained new heights with their respective clubs. Odion Ighalo struck in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea to become the first ever Watford player to score in five consecutive English topflight games.
Mikel Obi entered the record books in the same game when he came off the bench in the 46th minute to make his 350th appearance in blue, the 21st player to do so. Also, the feat makes him the club’s third-highest overseas appearance maker since his move from Lyn Oslo in 2006.
Jose Mourinho offered Real Madrid job to turn up the heat on Manchester United
Jose Mourinho is facing a massive dilemma after being offered an instant return to Real Madrid.
And that will turn up the heat even further on Manchester United and Louis Van Gaal who is under increasing pressure at Old Trafford.
United must move quickly or risk missing out on Mourinho who must also decide on whether to pursue the Real Madrid job - or hang on.
Mirror Sport revealed last month Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants Mourinho to return to the Bernabeu.
And it is understood that Perez has now made a move to bring in Mourinho to replace under-pressure Rafa Benitez - and wants him in charge as quickly as possible.
Mourinho would prefer the United job rather than return to Real Madrid where he left amid controversy and under a cloud two-and-a-half years ago.
But despite Mourinho being unpopular with sections of the Real Madrid fans and dressing room, Perez has remained a huge fan.
Agents have now sounded out Mourinho’s camp and placed an offer on the table.

Man U coach Van Gaal storms out of press conference when asked about his future.
Under pressure Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal yesterday stormed out of a press conference ahead of boxing day's clash with Stoke city after he was asked questions about his future by the press. In a press conference that lasted just four minutes, the United boss whose position has been under threat with Jose Mourinho as his likely replacement said he deserved apologies from the British press for cooking up stories and that he had received calls of solidarity from Sir Alex Ferguson and Executive vice chairman Ed Woodward.
After a run of six games without a win that has seen United crash out of the Champions League and drop to fifth place in the Premier League, he is desperate for a victory to ease the mounting pressure.
