Who do you want the next Villa manager to be?

[Archie]

It seems that KMD will remain caretaker for at least three games.
i'm gutted.
Isn't it amateur that the club sacked Sherwood without having a substitute?

Now you have got me worried. What is the correct spelling of the plant of the Capiscum family? I have just ordered ten thousand ceramic pots with the word "Chilli" in the glaze. Will I suffer public mockery and ridicule?

[Sexual Ealing]

Although Google says it's double 'L' in chilli con carne but only one 'L' in chili pepper so I guess that makes me the twat.

They're still shite though.

They're the fucking worst.

I would rather get genital warts than Pearson

I think his son got both

You're fine, as long as you're selling them in the UK. 'Chilli' is used in British English, 'chile' or 'chili' in US parlance.

As it derives from Spanish and they go with 'chile' there's an argument for that being the most etymologically pure, but the name of the plant was “chilli” in 16th-century translations of Nahuatl, the language that gave Spanish the word in the first place.

So 'chilli' is probably fine - but a bit by accident.

Ask the guy to resign and offer to pay the balance on his contract. How much can it really be worth?

We need a new man and quickly. We shouldn't be writing off any points and if it is to be Garde, then lets get it done. Of course we may well be doing exactly that.

A few hundred grand probably? We need to stop being the nice guys. Nice players, nice managers, nice ground, nice employees, we do things the nice way. Fuck that, pay off the clubs, bung them, whatever just get a fucking manager in so he at least has a few weeks working with the players before we hit some games that we aren't just willing to write off as another one of those games we aren't expected to get anything from.

2 weeks work, hard drilling in a way of playing and a new idea, give them the best shot at beating Watford at home. I don't want to see us totally disjointed against them and then throw out another ''oh well he hasn't had any time to work with the players yet, patience'' because we will be on 4 pts from 14 games, which is almost certainly relegation.

While you are at working temperature then Dave, it is our intention if possible to put both "hot" (Cayenne, scotch bonnet etc) and "sweet"  (bell peppers) in the same pots, individually of course. Though botanically they are Capiscum are they chilli's?  Cambridge is wall to wall nerks so I am bound to be taken to task. Not you Mont or you Doc, you are not nerks.

I live in Oxford now Brian, so I miss the nerks. Toffs are worse than nerks.

I think it will all work out fine as long as no gnomes are involved.

I once designed a gnomon for a park in La Villette  Paris. I was gutted that it was a giant sundial not a monster concrete job with a fishing rod.

Some of the early RHCP stuff wasn't too bad, they were never as good as they, or indeed lots of other people, thought they were though.

28 years later they are still the worst band I've ever seen. And I've seen Christian Death and Hanoi Rocks.

Glasvegas get my vote.

I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on it, but from a recent episode of the (very good indeed) podcast Stuff You Should Know all about chilli peppers, I think that all chillis are peppers but not all peppers are chillis. I think that to be a chilli/chili/chile pepper it has to product capsaicin, which bell peppers do not (and are subsequently 0 on the Scoville scale). They all come from the capsicum genus.

If you have any issues, I'd suggest calling their bluff and mocking that they clearly can't recognise a cross-cultivated Argentinian chacoense when they see one.
