    Malm* v Midtjylland in the Europa League.

    Malm* itself was a pretty uninspiring place, but the noise at the stadium was probably the loudest I've experienced. At times it was deafening and the kids were complaining it was too loud. So much better than the premier league, but then so are the games I've been to in Austria, Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia and Holland.

    The football however was pretty poor. 2-2 after Malm* were 2-0 up. Championship standard really and I expect Midtjylland to comfortably go through.

    Another country where you can drink in your seat and the Malm* fans showered the away fans in beer and plastic glasses when the away team scored.

    On the train back to Copenhagen, cursing the Swede's stupid booze buying restrictions.

    How does one pronounce Midtylland and did Derek Payne ever play for them?

    The answer is "no idea" on both counts.

    Got the train back sat next to some Midtjylland fans and didn't hear them actually say it, so I don't think even they know how to pronounce it.

    Something like Midyewlan I think. I once saw a Danish Superliga match. It was 0-0 and dreadful, but when you went through the turnstiles you were greeted by tables full of Carlsberg bottles. Along one side was a Swindon-like all-seater stand; on the other three sides there were open terraces just 3 steps deep.

    Didn't they beat Man U a few years back then Rashford scored 2 on his debut in the return leg?

    Committed scouting!

    Unlikely to meet either, even if we do beat Reading.

    Looks like anything other than a win would have been embarassing for us; based upon their recent form in both European and league matches

    It does beg the question why anyone would want to jeopardise their league position to play in the Europa League (much as I'd love us to have another European jolly at some stage).

    Haha Dyche complaining that the referee took the yellow card out in world record time.

    Trouble is there were many games with stats like that over the last 2 seasons where they have walked away with a victory. He has got used to being played off the park and still winning.

    It's ok for Dyche to berate the officials and demand Hughes is sent off though on Sunday ?

    I'd love a European jolly, but aside from the impact on the domestic football itself, an afternoon in Malm* taught me that some away trips would require the best part of a grand.

    On the flip side, you could end up somewhere dirt cheap in eastern Europe, but run the risk of having your head caved in by some steroid fuelled nutter or stabbed like one of the Burnley fans in Greece last night.

    Isn't the unpronounceable team Brentford's feeder club?
