After a handful of wasted hours over the past week waiting to see if the online villa shop would stock anything bigger than a large, i gave up and went to the villa shop at villa park before the Burnley game. A far superior range of sizes and products was available compared to the online store. So i take it all back villa and i was informed that the official online store is not actually connected to or run by villa at all! You probably all know which northwest city it is based in - at least we'll beat them on sunday. Up the villa.

Is it just me, or is the range of official merchandise for our biggest game in over a  decade woefully inadequate. I want to look the part on the 28th but the online villa store has few quality items and i think the club is missing a golden opportunity. As i was so unimpressed i tried the retro gear - always a winner, but alas,  are they stocked up ready for the increased demand that a wembley final surely brings? - NO. I bet the independent traders that will be swarming all over wembley are geared up . Come on villa- sort it out.
