I'm not worried about the distance of the travels. What is important is the quality of the grass of each stadium, and our three rivals have good stadiums.

Many times in the Champions League you have to play against small teams with horrible stadiums with grass that looks like a potato field.

With a good grass we have more chances to win and give a good show.

And our players travel in first class on the plane. No problem.

A spot in the last 16 should be guaranteed. Eternal disgrace if we don´t get past this group. Heck, even the top spot in the group should be guaranteed.

Travel shmavel. They have private jets and first class. They'll be fine.

Another boring group for us.

Haha yea.. too bad :\

Could have watched the game together then sat down for some beer .(well you'd have coke I guess - as a Muslim your not allowed to have any alcohol right?)

**Ahhh sorry for assuming you're Muslim ! I know there are other religions also .. quite a lot of Christians right? which one are u ? sorry again.

Maybe one day we'll have a beer together in some pub outside of Stamford Bridge

Historically we don't do so well after midweek CL games

Walk in the park against these teams, then you get through to get PSG or Atletico and poof, adios. Just like last year. I wish we'd get a tough opponent for once, just so we can see how strong we really are, and that before it's too late. An easy group can fool you and make you feel way too confident about how good you really are.

An easy group would do even though its boring and lot of travel time. We might grab the top spot early then play our youngsters

Just seen the draw. Easy peasy group as usual, the German teams except Bayern have tough groups. could imagine all 3 heading out.

Congrats to our Israeli lads whose wish came true.

Hope we can win our group playing with a b-team to rest players for the tough epl matches around.

Wow. Some of those weeks are going to be tough as hell!

I'm concerned with those matches at West Ham and Spurs after long trips to Ukraine and Israel. Should note though that the Spurs game will be on the Nov 29, Sunday, since they are in Europa League action on Nov 26. That will give us an extra day to recover/rest/train at least.
