I'm not that deep into literature. But I know I like Murakami's books. Fell in love with Norwegian Wood and Dance Dance Dance. Still need to start with 1Q84 trilogy. But now I'm reading A Song of Ice and Fire.
Also, does anyone think Redknapp leaving might influence the possible transfer of Vertonghen ?

Not really that comparable. Much more empathetic, less suave, less consciously mannered. Writes a great deal about his son, Hikari (nicknamed Eeyore), who is autistic and a musical savant.
Rouse Up O Young Men of the New Age, A Quiet Life, and A Personal Matter are the best things he's written, so far as I can tell.
I think there was a sticking point over the price a while ago, Not sure if they got that sorted.
Not at all. Harry has always said the chairman handled transfers 100% so it won't change anything, most of the under-30 players we've signed under Harry have been decided by Levy and the scouts without Redknapp's input, players like Walker, Sandro and Van Der Vaart. I am a bit worried that Adebayor might have second thoughts about coming back but in any case we just have to get the manager in place ASAP. As long as it's not Benitez we should be OK in terms of transfers.
What does that mean? USA tour instead of Singapore?

Stock exchange I think.
Thx, I went to Manchester Evening News .com and couldn't find anything.
My favorite Japanese writer is English, anyway. Kazuo Ishiguro. Both of his well-known books (The Remains of the Day and Never Let me Go) are, IMO, some of the best I've ever read.
And I like Murakami, too. I'm just saying. There's a bit of monotony to how he writes. The protagonist is invariably anonymous, and if not he's still a young male who considers himself normal but possesses some surreal ability that he eventually comes to realize, there's always a mysterious woman who is missing for all or most of the book, all of his characters are food and music connoisseurs, etc.. I've read maybe 8 or 9 of his books and these are ever-present trappings.
Dance Dance Dance, The Wind up Bird Chronicle, Hard Boiled Wonderland, and Norwegian Wood are all great books.

Lol it really is. Thanks for the link, very interesting.... Didn't even know about the GM/Chevrolet sponsorship deal.
Congratulations. You've managed two moronic posts today, at a rate of one per hour.

Haha yes. Exactly.
They want him as a test dummy for their medical team.

Wait, how did I miss the lit discussion! Murakami is the next author I'm going to be reading. I read that Norweigan Wood is probably the best place to start. I'm really excited because I've heard great things about him.
Wilbury, have you gotten to the episode "The Fight" yet? Also, would you like to know why I love my gf? Because she made me this:
She's a keeper :3

Norwegian Wood was great indeed. And it's a very basic Murakami book. It doesn't have this supernatural weird stuff that he tends to write in some of his other books. So prolly the best way to get familiar with his work.
Love his philosophy on the pitch. He has some competent staff that he'll likely want by his side at Swansea including some fantastic scouts.
That's the spirit.

What is this? A Roomba with an Ipod dock thing on it?

I want Jean-Ralphio to return too, definitely my favorite character, but he has another show where he is a central character that is supposed to be pretty good.
djroomba.com and make sure you play Dat Girl by Flo Rida in the background while that site is up.

Redknapp departure interview with BBC
Brilliantly, he's done this interview from a car window as well.

He'll be fine. Cabbies love him, you know.
T. Silva is a done deal, (un)fortunately.
I consider it to be karma for me not giving a flying shit about our national team. I like Handa, but I ain't even mad. Inter? Whatever, dude.

I don't know how familiar you are with the American version of the Office, but one of the P&R creators came from there. The first season largely mirrors the Office in character structure and development. Lesley is kind of crazy, but endearing, like Michael Scott after his evolution from David Brent. Season 2 you see a lot of character development that is independent of The Office's influence which creates the ideal dynamic that every character is interesting and hilarious in separate ways (except Brandanowicz, he kind of sucks). With Season 3 you get the introduction of Chris and Ben who show great chemistry with the rest of the cast and are equally hilarious in their own ways. Somehow the show has done a brilliant job of giving each character their own gimmick that continues to produce great, memorable moments. Ron and Andy are my favorite characters after Jean-Ralphio.
Yeah I've seen all of the American Office up to Michael leaving so I haven't seen the new season. I agree, it's really good. I really like Andy yeah

You watched too much of the American Office then. Show goes downhill around Jim and Pam's wedding with few moments of greatness in between (Michael Scott Paper Company).
I agree haha but just thought I'd watch until the end
Its like I stepped back into the 90s.
Some reports are indicating that Moyes is the first one to be approached by the Spurs. I hope that it is entirly a false one. It is because of him, we can maybe secure Baines and Fellaini at Goodison. If Hea leaves, you bet that those two will not stay at Everton, which will break my heart.
