Is it the new TWTD elite WhatsApp group and could I get added to it by mistake?

RTE news : Call for probe after US war plans shared with journalist

Edit: I did check but missed this:

You couldn't make this up.
The planning for the recent bombing of the Houtis in Yemen by the USA was given to a journalist as it happened.
Jeffrey Goldberg, editor of the Atlantic Magazine was included in a Group Text discussion by top Trump Officials - Hegseth, Miller, Vance. Waltz etc.
It was a mistake to do so and Goldberg thought it was a spoof or a trap by an organization that was trying to embarass the Atlantic.
It wasn't and he realised it was real when the bombs started dropping.
The incompetence of the Trump administration is now beyond a joke.
There are many videos covering it - Times Radio but this is a good one

Our Press...is part of the problem
at 21:41 19 Oct 2024

Aside from the debate on player positions, how we press the opposition when they have the ball is causing issues.

In the Championship we thrived from having a high press, winning the ball or second ball back keeping pressure on the other team.

In the Prem with more technical/physical players they can find the space a lot quicker than we are used to.

Delap chases everything down which is admirable but unless the whole side move up onto their opponent it's a waste of energy and there is an easy wide pass which we saw J Clarke struggling to get back for.

While I'm all for expansive entertaining football maybe we just compress the play a bit more when the oppo have the ball? Keep the lines with a deeper press, make it harder to play through us and get closer to their opponents when out of possession

Thoughts?

Last weekend on TalkSport, Pardew kept referencing this stat and another I can't remember. Any Stattos out there who can validate this or is Pardew talking carp?

Watched this multiple times after the game....what a goal from Delap!!

Picks up the ball on the left after being careful to keep onside. After that Delap goes into beast mode and what a finish, dropped the shoulder left the defender for dead and what a finish. Pure class!

Special mention for Taylors clipped ball out to Hutch.

The 1982 Israel invasion and The Birth of Hezbollah
at 22:39 25 Sep 2024

Wanted to start a new thread on the history behind where things are today.

I am no historian nor ever really had a deep insight into what has led up to recent times.

I read this article earlier today which I thought was insightful personally in terms of historical context so thought I'd share for hopefully a reseasoned discussion: (namely not picking sides, as all have done abhorrent things to each other, and honestly no agenda on my behalf)

RTE news : What happened when Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982?
