Real Madrid
AC Milan
Ajax
Auxerre

Not a shabby group.

That's the stand out group but only on reputation I think. Ajax are no longer the force they once were and the Guy Roux era is long gone.

Anyone know who the presenter was?

From the BBC live update of the EL draw: johnsalehprice on Twitter: "Out of Man City v Juventus (Europa League) and Real Madrid v AC Milan (Champions League), which one would you pick as the bigger match?!"
Real Madrid v AC Milan. And it's not even close.

That's twice you've asked ... I'm guessing that she was very tasty.

Very talented player with an extremely questionable attitude.

A risky signing by Newcastle; most teams that come up sign 'safe' players to keep them up, then try and build from that.

For a player so talented, you have to wonder why clubs like Lyon and Marseille were so quick to get rid - they're no mugs in the market. But, if Newcastle can keep his feet firmly on the ground, he could be a player to make the difference regularly, but, it is dangerous if they become dependent on him, it could be mightily risky.

But, other than that, good signs for the club, they can obviously attract players from clubs bigger than them, which should raise the hopes of supporters.
