MY WEEK AT WORK: JOHN MIKEL OBI
World Cup qualification marks the highlight of John Mikel Obi's past seven days, while he has also been laughing at Salomon Kalou…
The best goal I have seen this week…
The best save I have seen this week…
I haven't watched too much football but I watched the Algeria v Egypt play-off game, and the Algerian keeper made a very good save at the feet of the forward. His name is Faouzi Chaquchi.
The best training performance…
It would be the same any week I think, JT, he is always so strong and committed.
The worst training performance…
Alex. He was barely running, he was just so slow.
Funniest moment…
The idea of Salomon Kalou picking a fight with one of his Ivory Coast team-mates. I have spoken to him and it was all a fuss over nothing.
My favourite sound this week…
I bought a new car this week, and I love the sound it makes when it starts up!
Best food this week…
I had some Kenyan food. It was rice with some kind of a special sauce, I am not sure how it was made, with some lamb. Delicious.
Best entertainment...
I haven't seen Billy McCulloch for a week, which has been good, so shall I say our Nigerian celebrations? It was a big relief and the atmosphere in the dressing room was very good afterwards, it is great to have qualified.
The news story that stands out…
I will say Russia not qualifying for the World Cup, that was a big surprise for me and I was tipping them to do well at the tournament.
And a special mention goes to…
Is for our assistant Julie Say, who didn't get a mention from Didier the other week, he just said Alan and Frank, so it has to be Julie!
