Unbelievable

A first confrontation with the Qataris

Urgh

Decent, but not a significant improvement over what we’ve already get imo.

Peak Newcastle this

God, 1-0 down at home to Cambridge is pathetic like

Think his knee plays him on

Edit: doh

What is it with Villa this transfer window? Did they get taken over by some sovereign state or something? Seem to be splashing the cash

Why are we having threads for soon-to-be Villa players?

Blacklisted

He might prefer Milan like

Davy Pröpper has quit football with immediate effect aged 30 stating he does not feel comfortable in football's culture, has lost the fun in the game and is finding it too difficult to motivate himself every day. Fair play for handing in a lucrative running contract I suppose.

Not very as far as I know. Louis van Gaal doesn't seem to particularly rate him. Frank de Boer had him part of the squad for two international games, but he is yet to make his debut.

I haven't read much about him, but that sounds quite impressive

I don't have the same fond memories most others appear to, but I will gladly join in wishing him a great retirement.

Get in, results keep falling our way luckily

Nice. Need West Ham to win here

It's a bit more complicated than that for me. Playing as a striker he often appeared to shy away from a battle and just showed absolutely no desire to get himself in the 6 yard box and fight the opposition's center backs. I find it astonishing to see how combative he is in midfield all of a sudden. For some reason he must have found it really hard to deal with the burden of being the lad relied upon to put the ball in the net, whereas he appears to know absolutely no fear in midfield.

I think there is a place for a player who combines the best of what Tiote and Sissoko did for us. Bigger question is if his current form is a flash in the pan or if he's finally found his true position.

it came across on TV quite well. If the crown prince was watching tonight you’d think he’d likely feel pretty good about signing a massive check. The potential here is absolutely massive.

Not just that, but also considering many managers would have made their team sat back to protect the point. Gotta credit Howe for this performance. Fitness and application levels much improved.

Phenomenal performance. Deserved a win that.
