Carvalho!

One of the best CBs we have had him.

We drew Malmo.

It's Malmo!

Happy with that draw, easy enough team to play and not a huge journey for the away fixture.

Agree with the Xmas fixtures that is not too bad at all.

I would have liked Lazio or Celtic but I’ll take Malmo considering they’re not too far away. Glad we’ve avoided Russia.

Malmo vs Chelsea. Can't complain !

Bate Borisov vs le arse ... Come on Bate !!

Decent draw. No complaints here.

Crazy to think malmo don't a play competitive game between now and our game in February. 

 

Pretty close to ideal.

Their winter conditions will be tricky to deal with though. 

I didn't even know Malmö are in the EL. Good draw, could have been much trickier.

£66 for a return flight booked, just need to get tickets now.

Please, Chelsea, don't wind up in Europa League for the next campaign.

How far from Stockholm is malmo, I'm there in February so might try and swing it to coincide with this game.

Too many pints will double the time... 

Drove from Malmo to Stockholm for the CWC final. It’s about the same distance as London to Newcastle

Problem is I'm going to be in meetings until 5 or 6 each day so no chance of getting there. Unless one of the swedes is a Chelsea fan.... 

Not some bad teams in this competition, harder to win it this time than it was under Benitez.
