Sun: Do you want to see something that astronomers have been waiting 800 years to witness? Just step outside at sunset and look southwest. Jupiter and Saturn are having their finest conjunction since the Middle Ages--and they're bright. Unfortunately in the UK we’ve bad weather and lots of cloud which has prevented us seeing this.
Stoke City beat Blackburn Rovers 1 – 0 on Saturday. We play Tottenham Hotspurs on Wednesday in the EFL Cup. We haven’t beaten Spurs in ages.
