So when will we see the reports that Saints have extended RM's contract ?

Innings

Some interesting points being raised;

I just picture the bar and club fight scenes from Trainspotting, with Nate in place of Begbie.

Actually there was kickback, hence my reference to it in my post above, and of course the famously understated quote "Our intention was not historical accuracy'. I understand that sometimes people play around to raise questions and generate debate, but there is always the risk of deliberate distortion to manipulate the gullible who think that because, in the era of Fake News, they have seen something on TV it has to be true. In the case of Shakespear's plays the key is the story and it's morals, the Histories play fast and loose with historical accuracy, the Comedies and Tragedies are simply stories that can be adapted to almost any era and location, and the plays as a whole were written specifically for their audiences. ( And, of course, ALL the parts were originally played by male actors. ) Wolf Hall is set in a specific historical context and location, and is depicting real people and events.

"And Iii-ee-i will always lo-ove you-oooo, I will alwa-ays lo-ove you".

Says the bloke who stood on the sidelines shouting instructions, and had his halftime team talk to sort things out.

Statistically, JS is only better than Holgate; https://footystats.org/clubs/southampton-fc-146# Defenders Conceded / 90 min James Bree 0.75 Taylor Harwood-Bellis 1.05 Kyle Walker-Peters 1.11 Jan Bednarek 1.15 Jack Stephens 1.39 Mason Holgate 2.48

.......Israelis....... It is quite likely that non-Jewish Israelis were killed at the music festival. Do they not deserve to be acknowledged ?

Like David Bowie did on stage.

FWIW, Mel Gibson is American, as indeed is Nicole Kidman. ( And Olivai Newton-John was born in England - so much for famous Aussies ). The issue is that people are influenced by what they see on the screen, and many will view historical depictions as factually accurate, ( Braveheart is a case in point, it is historical hogwash ). I think that the casting of this new production of Wolf Hall is more to do with "colour blind" casting and preventing comments to the effect that there are not any prominent non-white roles in the show.

"This indecision's bugging me"'

Out of interest I have just calculated the league table for the period of our fabled unbeaten run. We got 54 points from those 23 matches., during which time Leicester got 57 points from 24 and Leeds 53 from 24, so effectively we didn't close the gap to them at all. We did, however close the gap to and overtake Ipswich.

No more wins either.

Work it out.

But at least you can see where you are going.

Whilst three of the World's major religions view it as Holy land, gifted to them by God, ( ironically, in effect the same God ), there won't be peace.

Most Muslims killed in conflict are killed by other Muslims.

Going to miss this one as I have to go to collect some carved wooden models I am exhibiting at an Arts and Crafts show. Hopefully that means the bastards will win to rub my nose in it for not watching. ( Mind you, I did also miss Sunderland away ! )

Wannsee

So, would it be OK for Daniel Craig to play Nelson Mandela ?

WSS is saying that because Hamas has issued a Fatwa all the people in Gaza are compelled to support it. This, as an interpretation of Sharia, I believe, is incorrect.

Oh. I am keeping up. A Fatwa is issued usually, though not exclusively, as an interpretation of scripture by a Mufti. It is open to debate and opposition, and importantly is non-binding. In this case, it is Hamas' interpretation of how a Fatwa works that leads them to imply it is compulsory.
