BT Sport had the draw. Sky cleared the 6 o'clock and put 4 men and a presenter round a desk with our group table on the wall behind them, and when Marcus turned that screen round, David Jones was already saying our name.
"Group B. Crystal Palace, Borussia Dortmund, PSV Eindhoven, Internazionale. Gary, I will start where the bookmakers have started. They have made Palace favourites to win that group. Are they right?"
"Yes."
"That is it?"
"That is it. And I want to be careful, because there is a version of tonight where everybody talks about Crystal Palace like it is a nice story." Gary Neville had a pen out and was already using it on the desk.
