Good to see you J Cole. You gave us so many moments of joy during your days especially against Man Utd. Thanks.
Joe Cole till this day has to be one of my favourite Chelsea players, the first game I ever watched live at the Bridge was the one against Liverpool in 2004 when he scored the decisive winning goal in the 2nd half(he briefly mentions this game in the podcast), we went absolute mental in the stands, ended up getting that season's away shirt with his name/number on the back a few days later. Joy of a player to watch in his peak.

He banged in another winning goal against the same team, a week after that.
Man like The English Magician. Joe Cole was cold its amazing how many great players have actually played for Chelsea.
We used to win so many 1-0 against Liverpool with Joe Cole scoring those days lol. Good times

That mou elephant line killed me, lol
'Go to Spurs......I just couldn't do it ' !!!! Thats the kind of player Chelsea need !!
I literally loved Joe for years, one of the most naturally skilful players we ever had in this country. Still love him.
Joe Cole was an earlier version of Eden Hazard.

The elephant story is crazy😂
These podcasts are amazing! These guys brought me so much excitement as kid & during my teenage years. I remember being in school and constantly reading about Chelsea & football in general instead of doing my work. Such a shame I can't say the same thing about this current Chelsea team
Joe Cole what a player, top top player. I think he was the most skillful English player. I remember I read the newspaper at school here in Malaysia with the headline "JOE GOAL" after he scored the winning goal against Liverpool in 2007 UCL semi final at home. He came back from that long injury on his last season 09/10 and he was never the same player he was, lost his pace and skills. Gutted to see him left for Liverpool. That goal against Norwich, Sweden, and both title winning goal against United 2006/2010. Thanks legend for entertaining my childhood. And keep up the podcast, happy to see our legends here and share their memories.
"where does the key play? " 😂😂😂
Played in the cup final West Ham scouted him in!..1993 london schools final… he was outrageously good we were year nine good players he was year 8 playing up and was head and shoulders the best player .. couldn’t smell him let alone tackle him … we all realised that day there are levels 😂
I wonder if Eden would ever be on an episode... Would be amazing to understand what goes into his head during his games based on what the other players have said 😂

Joe Cole, my favourite winger ever. Your leg overs are mesmerising
Warms my heart every time I watch our legends. Thanks a lot!!
If Boehly can hang around in Twitter spaces with a bunch of Chelsea fans, I sure as hell hope he is watching these videos of these two Chelsea legends speak regarding Conor Gallagher. There are some things you cannot monetize and the thoughts of selling him, will only tank this squad down the table even further. Also a great idea, its about time these guys talk to the Chelsea fans in public. They do plenty of business interviews talking about Chelsea, so now is the time to talk to the fans directly.

Conor Gallagher is nowhere close to the level of these players…nor will he ever reach this level. Joe Cole was a fantastic Chelsea player and I think he sees himself in Conor in regards to him being a cfc fan then player…but that’s all they have in common. Joe was a winner for us and Conor hasn’t helped us get close to winning a single thing. If…WHEN we get £50m he’s outta here and good riddance 🙌🏿
Fun episode. Joe Cole is a great guy! Mikel and Chris are killing it so far on this podcast🔥
I’ve been supporting Chelsea since 1997…I was SOOOO HAPPYYY when Joe Cole signed for us. He really was my favourite player and couldn’t believe he signed for us. What a player and what a man.
Looool mikels start to this podcast is the most English start ever
Joe cole feels like home look how relax he is...good to see👍💙💙
This wraps up a lot of things behind the scenes during Jose’s time at Chelsea. We have kids playing at our club now. The mentality is different that's why we ain't winning
Thank god Obi is getting respect he deserves..he was a top too defensive midfielder..will take him and Oscar anytime ahead of Caicedo and Enzo..with John it gave you safe “forget about it” to oppositiins..and with Oscar it was Pirlo vibes
That was incredible. Loved every minute. Thanks
I have been waiting for this one. Well done Obi and am waiting King DD.
One of my favourites as a kid, anyone that got to see him play it was always exciting had real flare and skill unreal to watch
love Joe, what a footballer, what a Chelsea legend, what a man he is now. thanks Joe.
Great players and geat memories 🫡
Thanks John and Joe. You guys brought back so many wonderful memories for us, Chelsea fan. Good to hear so many beautiful stories behind the scene during the best era of Chelsea. Joe, really wish you were there to win us the 2012 Champions league. Chris is an excellent host too. It's always enjoyable to listen to this broadcast. John, any chance to interview Hazard, Mata and Oscar? they also represent one of the Chelsea teams that played most attractive football
Absolutely amazing Joe#*10.. You didn't talk about holding your waist on the pitch...😅..I think you were very confident
John Obi am watching from Kenya please kindly bring one of the directors at this podcast truelly we will apprciate

Best episode yet imo, can't wait for the kalou episode
Am a fan of Obi for life I love this show Joe cole
Joe is a legend, I really enjoyed the way he played the game.
I like Joe Cole, he loves the club and is so knowledgeable about Chelsea. My hero
He's here, he's there! He's every fucking-where!!!!! ❤
Side quest question.. Why do some people keep saying "you know". Once I start to notice it, I can't unhear it and it gets worse.. They won't stop 🤣🤣😭😭🤯🤯
What amazing interview😊
I’ve watched all these podcasts and I’d say this was the best so far!! Joe get them badges and lead us back to champions league glory!!!!! Up the chels 💙
Good times!
The claudio ranieri impression was so funny 😂
He's here, he's there, he every f--.king where: Joe Cole, Joe Cole!!!
I am absolutely gutted for James, he's proper Chelsea. Hoping for a well and speedy recovery
I 1st saw Joe when he was 14/15 i knew his Dad and he was gave me great advice on life and for my stepson that went to west ham at 8 . He played for Tuffnel Park Rangers in the same team as Joes younger brother. Joe was a different kind of Baller top drawer baller how he scored against ManUtd served Rio on a plate Joe, respect is very much due sir a chelsea legend. Salute Btw discretion dictates but Joe's dad told me what Fergie offered to get Joe up to Man U RIP G 🙏 😉 😅
Big up Obi One Podcast
I remember Joe cole had so much flair. Insane dribbler too
I HAD A GOOD LAUGH, SOLID POD MATES.
Arjen Robben was magic for about 4 months, he never fully recovered after that Mokeana injury though. Confidence took a huge dent. J.Cole was a genius too. Some of the stuff he was doing in 05/06, Robben's injury allowed him to grab the chance to fully express himself. Swings and roundabouts.
Top top class! J Cole for me, you are a CL winner! That was such a journey to get there and I see Joe as a Champions league winner no doubt!
Joey cole now this is one to watch
Cesar Casadei the next Chelsea midfield legend

Kid is a baller glad he is getting game time because I see him taking caicedo's place in the future
I live in the united states and as a chelsea fan back when I lived in Nigeria, I'd pray Jose picked Joe over Arjen just to see them flicks. That pre-season when he got hurt in 2006 against some MLS all-star team broke my heart. My favorite moment was the goal when we done united in the 06 3-0 title winning game as he lead us before Uncle Carvalho scored that perfect CF gorgeous goal with one of the quickest and passionate counter attacking goal. KTBFFH❤❤❤❤
Agreed about one of the owners coming out and talking to the fans. They obviously care about the club and want it to succeed, so after we win a game at home, boehly or Egbali needs to come out and say " thank you for the support, heres what it means to us, now let me tell you about the vision for the team...". It will change expectations from the fans (in a good way) and there will be less abuse towards the developing players and manager after a poor performance.
Best podcast ever
Back in boarding school,everyone wanted to play like skillful joe cole...
One of the greatest performances by any player was joe cole against spurs the 4-4 classic. I was aat that game and he was magical that night. If it was zidane people would still be talking about it today
Every and I mean every Chelsea fan loves Joe Cole!
Keep it up we are happy
My best winger in the early 2000s very honest guy.
Great to hear from Joe as always..reminded me of that Sharon Stone scene also🤣
