Sun: Half a dozen sunspots with AR3078 having a delta-class magnetic field that poses a threat for X-class solar flares. NOAA forecasters say there is a 30% chance of M-class flares and a 10% chance of X-flares today. Any explosions will be geo-effective as the sunspot is almost directly facing Earth. (spaceweather.com)
Footy : Stoke City lost 3 – 1 to Huddersfield and we missed a penalty. Massive defensive errors let us down. Middlesbrough at Stoke on Wednesday, we have to do better!!
Manchester United were beaten 4 – 0 by Brentford and lie at the bottom of the Premiership table. Liverpool have drawn 2 matches and are just below half way!
Cricket : Wednesday. Proper cricket, a Test Match at Lords against South Africa. Unfortunately the weather could be a problem. Thunderstorms are forecast.
