Nailed Task 1 &2, however - in the textbox it says:
"The word football appears ____ times in sports articles published on _____."

But in the provided output, that has been changed to

"The word football appears 35 times in articles published on Mondays."

Notice how the word sports is missing....

 

Anyway, here is my solution, as well as the bonus one

We where warned, that out result probably would not match the provided output, and I am not surprised, since prediction and forecasting requires, that we use the exact same data and setup.

I can't say what I have done differently, but I noticed two things.
My Number of comments is as I would expect, different each month, and therefore my result is, that the 20 million barrier is breached one month before in July 2023.

Could be fun, if the dataset is updated then to actually see, how the prediction match up.

My solution attached.  I had a go at the bonus, but I'm not familiar with the time series tools so it involves a degree of guesswork.  I think I got a comparable answer.

My count of "football" appearances in the headline and keywords is greater than the output provided in the challenge.
