Notes
  1. The match, a Manchester derby, was cancelled due to adverse weather and poor pitch conditions.[1]
gollark: Stupid TVTropes adblocker complaining. They can have their 0.01p when they switch to nice unobtrusive textual ads which don't incorporate piles of tracking.
gollark: Depends how complex a process you're okay with to get the energy.
gollark: The power of Regulatory Capture™ for messing up everything!
gollark: "Oops, we accidentally legalized murder."
gollark: (So they can be patched before release)
