Why? Why would you even say that? I swear, it's like the Grinch is your happy optimistic brother!

Well it looks delicious. Do you keep the 'core' or do you only use the 'skin' of the pepper?

So what kind of chili peppers do you use? I've been trying to make some using chili peppers we grow because I basically eat hot sauce with everything, but they were kind of a disaster I used peppers like these: They're very small but very hot:

It's just if you had told me that you're selling your own "hot sauce" this is NOT what I would have imagined!

You have your own hot chili brand?! :lol:

Luke is 19. He was just 7 when Adams retired from football and just 5 when he retired from England. Yeah, Adams has been retired for over 12 years. Let that sink in...

This made me LOL: "I knew I had to retire from the national team when I found out that Luke Shaw had not heard of Tony Adams" http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/frank-lampard-reveals-luke-shaws-unfamiliarity-with-who-tony-adams-was-helped-him-decide-it-was-time-to-retire-from-england-duty-9716155.html Now even I feel old!

Nostalgia is a beautiful thing, but we always remember things unrealistically better than they actually were. I've been here for over 3 years and the forum has always been in an upward trend. In terms of activity and quality, this is the best the forum has been (and this is by far the least active the pub has been). Thanks for staying classy about this and again sorry it had to come to this.

He was an excellent member at times and we did try to delay it as much as possible, but as I told him, we had to make the decision and the forum will move forward without him. Wasn't just what he did in public but also the harassing and threatening members in PMs which you know all too well about.

Welcome I think Fabregas will always be the type of player that is adored by the fans of the team he is playing for and hated by everyone else. He just has that charisma and leadership about him like JT. I am sure that if he sticks around he's bound to become a fan favorite. Speaking of which, hope you stick around and keep on posting

^^ I'd like to elaborate on the above before the 'usual suspects' come up with their conspiracy theories. This is the exact text I sent to him explaining the ban:

When was the last time you got "it"? :eyebrows:

He should not have been allowed to go with the NT after he had an injury last week. He should have used the break to rest. Hopefully this is just a precaution.

This is the first of 6 matches in 15 days if I'm not mistaken. Practically everyone in the squad will get a game.

It's several issues. It's the academies themselves that are mostly not on the same level as those in Spain or Germany or even France and Netherlands. Not talking about the facilities, but more the coaching methods. Then you have the whole youth system that doesn't suite teams in the EPL and never prepares the players for the jump into such a league. Then you have the extremely competitive nature of the league and the billions going into it. Even if you're fighting to prevent relegation, you can barely afford to play youngsters because the team's around you will have excellent players.

I think you mean "a coward"

Don't think it works that way, mate If you think he's limited, then it's up to you to say in what area he is limited. You can't expect @The Skipper to cover every single area of his game!

This thread explodes in 3,2.... Great finish :blue scalf:

I'm curious, in what areas do you think Chalobah is better than MVG? On any account, in the current formation we are playing, they play different positions. Chalobah would be Matic's backup while Marco would be Oscar's/Ramires'. Marco isn't hurting Chalobah's chances. Having bad loans to Forrest and (to a lesser extent) Boro is what hurt Chalobah's chances.

Chelsea new young center back, Kurt Zouma, expressed today in an interview with French paper, L'Equipe, his desire to do at Chelsea what his countryman, Rafael Varane, managed at Real Madrid. Varane made the breakthrough in Madrid under current Chelsea manger, Jose Mourinho, despite having some top class players ahead of him, and Kurt 'Happy' Zouma is hoping the same would happen to him: “Jose Mourinho told me: ‘Rafael Varane, I made him start against Manchester City. You have to be ready to play at any moment'." Said Zouma. “Now there are senior players, stars in my position, and they are doing a great job. I take my time. I am learning besides those defenders. I know my time will come. " Varane is now a regular with France who will be hosting the 2016 Euros, and that seems to be one of the main career objectives of Zouma's. “I am using Varane and (Eliaquim) Mangala as role models. Nowadays they are in the French team and I hope to join them. Euro 2016 is an objective I set to myself. Even if it will be very difficult to get a position, the door is not so far away.” The young Frenchman also discussed in the interview the great spirit inside the Chelsea dressing, revealing that he is often at the end of his teammates jokes because of his immense size: “Diego Costa is very, very crazy. Ivanovic makes a lot of jokes too. Afterwards the group laugh a little about my age because, well, I'm a big man for 19-years-old. Even the coach when we were going for the blood test jokingly said, 'Here, now we'll see if you lied about your age'. But really they're cool, easy.” Hopefully, Kurt gets the chance he deserves this season to prove his worth to the Portuguese manager. Click here to view the article

Yes, and you still owe me a strip dance!

I did, but up until that post you had not. Anyway, even in the posts after, no one has yet named a realistic and available English talent that could be in our squad. Chamberlain could be a replacement for Salah, but he is not available at the time and when he was, were not looking for Salah-type signing. Wilshere has been pretty crap for a long while now and on any account he has never been a realistic target and would not join us. Rooney could be in our squad and we tried to get him last season but he declined and got ridiculous wages at united. Barry could be a decent option on the bench and I wanted us to go for him when he was leaving City but he was leaving City because he wasn't getting enough playing time; makes little sense for him to come here. Shaw went for a ridiculous fee and we're not Liverpool to make a signing like Lambert. Sterling is the complete opposite of what Jose looks in his attacking midfielders, he would never be a Chelsea player under him. Lallana is a decent option but we're already overloaded in his position. We're not trying to avoid signing English players, there just hasn't been English players that suite what we want. Will he? They have plenty of options to play there; he will need to play consistently at his best to keep the spot which is very hard for a 19 year old. Plus, rumors are that he's completely unfit at the moment and has put on weight in the summer; could be a while before he gets into the united XI.

No, he really hasn't. I'm not even sure how he'll get into the united team. You can't blame him for that. If you want to prove your point then name the available English talents that would be good buys for us. The burden of the proof in this argument lies on you not him.

This kind of thing is why FFP won't ever achieve it's purpose:
