It’s not that simplistic, it never is. Each solar cycle (actually 22 years) can vary dramatically and can go from practically zero sunspots to hundreds. It’s not so much the solar output that matters, although that is the simplistic view, as the amount of high energy solar activity and its corresponding effect on cloud formations. The Little Ice Ages during the Maunder Minimum and the Dalton Minimum are an indication of what happens when there are not many sunspots.

Usually a wooden stake through the heart is considered sufficient.

And wasn’t Dean the VAR referee for ‘that game’ against Leicester? He saw a red card where nobody at the ground even saw a foul.

His left foot gave way as he went to strike the ball. It carved out a huge divot.

It has been suggested that the CO2 in the exhaled breath has something to do with it.

Distance divided by time.

In the interests of equality it should be mentioned that I like big titted women of all nationalities.

The limit is 50 mph all along the stretch. In theory you could get done for being over 50 even if your average speed is lower.

Great! Stick him in goal.

We value a player at what his value is to us. Not what some other club wants to pay.

Or both?

I thought he’d been quiet.

Sport has nothing to do with winning. Time you grew up.

No, not at all. But they are not gentlemen.

You never have understood the meaning of the word 'sport'. I bet you even park in disabled spaces.

When Carey threw the ball at the stumps Bairstow was in his crease and marking it. Carey’s actions were sly and underhand in every sense. He will always be remembered for this action. I don’t think that either umpire saw what happened but apparently this doesn’t matter under the Laws of the Game. There shouldn’t need to be Laws to govern such situations but sadly there are always cheats. “For when the One Great Scorer comes To mark against your name, He writes - not that you won or lost - But HOW you played the Game.“ Grantland Rice

Pedant alert! 20 is an even number

I blame the parents.

Spreadsheet soccer. A totally meaninglessly metric. A ‘shot on target’ can be anything from a wild slash from forty yards to something stroked into the net from ten yards. Too many times last season the opposition was given the freedom to waltz into our penalty are and pick their spot.

Maybe I could inspect the pipework?
