WEEKLY WHINE
Something to be absolutely certain of
We here at GoobNet are pleased to present to you this prediction of the results of several major international club football competitions. If any of the groups do not end up in this order at the end of the group phase, or if any of the elimination ties do not have the exact results shown here, we will punish our team of prognosticators by making them join the training staff at Chelsea.
