Sun: 5/6 sunspots but sunspots aren't the only things on the sun that explode. So do filaments of magnetism. There are three of them on the sun today, circled in this photo from Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau of Rafaela, Argentina (spaceweather.com)
Footy: After the International break Stoke didn’t manage a third straight win, they lost 2 – 1 away to Reading, drat! Next weekend West Brom away. A local derby and always a niggle match
