If we dont get out of that group, then fuck knows. Valencia and Ajax shouldnt be underestimated though.

Now I've got a nervous wait for the release of the fixtures, due to travel commitments if matchday 1 isn't at The Bridge the only game i'll be able to attend before December is Macclesfield/Grimsby.

The first match will be in between Wolves (a) and Liverpool (h). 

You're in luck, @Tomo. We begin against Valencia at the Bridge. Liverpool start at Napoli.

Valencia is the weakest opponent.
Ajax struggled against PAOK (out of Euroepa to Slovan Bratislave tonight) and also APOEL.
Lille are doing well in France and are feared most.

Usually i would not complain about this group but if you look at the groups the other english teams got then it is by far the hardest and least easy to predict

If that happens again, we should just build a statue of Lampard outside SB.

We need to try and aim for a run in the CL this year, winning it is probably too big an ask this early but we need a memorable run sooner rather than later.

We laugh at Arsenal for not winning a knockout game for so long but we're low-key only a few years behind them (Demba Ba Vs PSG was the last time we won a CL knockout tie).

[Laylabelle 9,381]

Well.. Let's see how we defend. Should be straightforward but we should be capable of not throwing a 2-0 lead against Sheffield

For anyone on here with travel plans.. 

[Jase 43,479]

No Ajax fans allowed at the Bridge next month.

[Laylabelle 9,381]

Yeah saw that. Be a bit of a odd game or atmosphere. Or just really funny. 

Know Chelsea weren't putting tickets on general sale before this was announced and is members only. No extra though wonder if that will change if its a whole stadium to fill.
