Guys I need some good music for my travels. Been out of the loop for ages now and had a bit of an Arnie regarding music so I need help.

As a reference the last album I downloaded was ...Like Clockwork (loved it).

Surely there's better food at real restaurants and such, but purely looking at fastfood joints, for me nothing beats BK.

There's not much choice in The Netherlands though, McD, KFC, Subway, BK.. That's about it.

Make sure you have a good pop music playlist. Pop music is great.

First 3 Interpol albums. TOTBL gets better with every listen still, and I've listened to it probably 200+ times

It was awesome. Scoring early helps the crowd a lot though.

Watching the Mexico goalless draw in Azteca and it was quiet until they started booing and throwing shit late in the game.

Okore vows to make big impact after completing Villa move

0,,10265~12006528,00.jpg


Jores Okore is ready to take responsibility to be a leader in Paul Lambert's young and emerging Villa team having completed a move from FC Nordsjaelland, last season's runners-up in Denmark's top-flight Superliga.

The 20-year-old defender underwent a medical today and agreed a four-year deal which will run to 2017.

Manager Lambert believes the Danish international has the potential to "make a huge impact" in the Barclays Premier League in coming seasons and Okore is thrilled to be part of Villa's hungry, aspirational team which he is determined to help propel towards "a higher level of performance [and] into a new era".

"We're a young team and we played some really good football over the second half of last season which is something we want to build on now as players, as a team and as a club," Okore said.

"I know there is great potential in the team. I have watched many of our games because the Premier League is very popular back in Denmark.

"I know also that we have a good coach and this is a really good club. This is the right club for me, I feel it straight away.

"We have a lot to show and we have a long way to go. We want to get to an even higher level of performance and show people who we are, that we can be a really good team. The manager is determined to develop us and to help us become better players, proving to people that we can become a top team. We can get some exciting things going here.

"I'm really excited and I'm looking forward to seeing my new teammates and getting together with them to train and get prepared to play some Premier League games.

"I'm happy to be wearing the shirt and I feel like I'm looking really good in it - it feels very comfortable. I'm looking forward to us going out next season, performing as a team and showing our potential.

"We have good players all around. It's going to be tough but I really hope I can go in and show myself and be a big part of the team. I want to bring something new to our game and really help the team into a new era. That's what I hope to do.

"If I was to describe myself, I think I'm a big, strong defender with good pace. Obviously, my priority is to be a really good defensive player but I think I can bring something to our game offensively, too, and maybe start some attacks. But the foremost thing will be to defend well and after that think about whatever else I may be able to contribute.

"We have players who have experience of the Premier League and hopefully I can also bring something from my experience in the Champions League. I'm looking forward to playing with my new team-mates.

"It's going to be exciting to play in a stadium like Villa Park and I'm looking forward to that. The atmosphere, I can tell, is incredible and I know the fans here are very passionate. This is an historic football club and I'm delighted to be a part of it now.

"It was really nice to hear some very nice comments from [former Villa and Danish international defender] Martin Laursen. It means a lot. I hope I can bring what he brought to the team and some of my own style as well. Martin was a great player for this club and I don't want to build it up too much. I have to come in and work hard and that's what I intend to do. I have a really good coach who will help me to perform my role, to be a leader in the squad, to take responsibility and perform well."

Okore has been an integral part of FC Nordsjaelland's unprecedented success over the past three seasons, winning their first Superliga title in 2011-12 and the Danish Cup in 2010-11.

He made his only appearance of the 2009-10 campaign in the Danish Cup and has played 71 times since then, including five appearances in the 2012-13 Champions League.

Okore made his debut for the Danish national team in November 2011.

He has played seven times for his country and was part of the squad that travelled to Ukraine for Euro 2012, though he did not play in the tournament.

He was named to the Danish League XI, a team made up of the best players from the Danish Superliga that plays during the league's winter break, in both 2012 and 2013 and in 2012 was named the under-21 player of the year by the Danish FA.

Lambert believes that Okore's acquisition will bolster his central defensive unit and imbue real competition for places, which he wants to engender throughout the team.

"He's only 20 years of age and that's good but he's also an international player at a really young age and he's played Champions League football as well, which is testament to his potential," Lambert said.

"Jores has played in big games but he's a very humble lad and he will be a really good addition to our team and to our squad. I'm pleased that we've signed a player of his stature, for he is someone who can come in and make a huge impact.

"There's a great opportunity for him here and the competition for places is something that's really important. You want to try to have that throughout the team."

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Soldado is open to a PL move.

Levy this is the guy we need. Fuck Damiao, Soldado has experience at the top level in Europe and is exactly the complete striker we are looking for. I would gladly pay £20m for him and have Ade and Defoe to rotate.

Yes! Aziz is awesome although I prefer the jokes from his previous tour to this one. You're in for a treat, I finally got to see him live last year and it was great.

I like the new Villa kit but the retro one is even sexier. Minimalism is so nice.

The supporter groups for the USMNT are awesome. There are a lot of great fans here in the US at club and country level. We looked into doing an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon. I had initially scheduled it so we could take in a Sounders game since Seattle is a port of call for that trip but we ended up picking Japan. 2 and a half more weeks!

Okore is a good signing for Villa, we wanted him in January. I like Lambert but as a neutral didn't really like how he did things last seasom. Hopefully now with this signing and Bacuna his vision for the team will mean they will be better next season.

For good reasons, he isn't funny and got a very annoying voice.

Also I truly hope it's true that you guys want Torres, just image not just getting rid of Torres and his huge wages, but to fucking Barcelona of all teams, would be too good.

Anybody but Balotelli would be good for that. I feel like he has a good record against De Gea.

What if he looks at me and sees a small Indian boy and makes fun :(

I've seen 2 of his DVD's Meier, thought the first one was really good. Second was okay...

Wooden usually has good taste but he is wrong in this regard. Aziz is awesome. I hope he marries somebody with the same voice. He will learn to love it.

Don't see Torres leaving tbh. Can't think who'll take his wages.

I learnt to tolerate him in that, his character in Scrubs was the fucking worst though, ugh.

Also lets not completely throw away the idea of Torres being willing to go down a big in wages to be happy.

I went to an event the other night with guys from this silly Adult Swim parody show called NTSF:SD:SUV:: and one of the characters in it is Randy's DJ. When he answered a question in a certain way it just totally clicked who he was.

I could listen to Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening every day and be happy.

"Yo, Shut the fuck up! Homie's over here tryina tell some jokes!"

Oh yeah he was a cunt in Scrubs. Was funny in that Flight of the Conchords episode as well.

I genuinely think the best chance you had to offload him was using him in the Falcao deal... just don't see who will want him and who he'll want to go to.

Couldn't possibly disagree more. Parks is still absolutely top tier television.

Best comedies on TV off the top of my head (not necessarily in this order): Parks, Bob's Burgers, Veep, Always Sunny, Archer

U wot m8? P&R is one of those exceptional comedies that has been consistent in quality ever since the second season. It even gets better while the seasons pass. I love that show.
