Same , I emailed them to cancel as I got sick of waiting and bought one from the shop instead. They told me they can't cancel it but also at the same time they have no idea when I will receive it . I get demand has been high but surely if it's nowhere near ready to be sent then they should be letting me cancel it. They said I could return it though when I did receive it which was nice of them .

Everyone raves about the job Emery has done at Villa and call him an elite coach which is right . Yet Eddie will have finished ahead of him twice in three seasons if we do this year whilst also winning a cup in that time . Eddie started from a much worse position than Emery as well and we haven't been able to strengthen our squad for two years whilst they also have a much stronger squad now in terms of depth than we do.

Villa beating Forest on Saturday isn't necessarily a bad thing either , we beat Leicester and we are only four behind Forest with a game in hand . As others have said Villa do have a much better overall squad than us for the run in but they are bound to drop points with the cup distractions so I'm still not worried about them .

He's not far behind Isak at all for me in terms of how good he is , only slight criticism is he can give the ball away easily at times but if he can cut that out he can certainly be on a par with Isak. They are both comfortably our two best and most important players though.

They just need like some form of comfort blanket that makes them seem relevant that's what it is. They know nobody else in the country really cares about them and they are always seen as a smaller less prominent version of Newcastle so will cling onto anything they think makes them relevant.

Pointless worrying about other teams , if we win our 5 home games and beat Leicester we will finish top 5. It's in our hands .

Anyone still waiting on the cup winners shirt ? Ordered two weeks ago and still not arrived .

I think Forest have got one of them champions league spots in the bag now. They have a decent run in as well. Us , Man City and Chelsea fighting for the two other spots . Villa have a really tough run in not to mention the other two cup competitions they are still in distracting them . It's in our hands though , win the games we should and we get top 5.

Don't disagree with a lot of that list really but I wouldn't have Celtic or Rangers in it, certainly not above any of them English teams as the SPL has been a complete joke for a long time now .

Yeah always cringe when that one gets sung, makes us look small time as well.

I won't be doing the Town Moor , bus parade then back to the pub.

Liverpool mate is adamant they won't be in for Isak , says the owners will never spend that amount of money on one player and they need other upgrades in the squad anyway .

Neville saying we are a fantastic club but Isak will eventually leave as you can't say no the likes of Madrid , Liverpool and Man United . I do kind of get his point but to include Man United in that list of teams is absolutely outrageous. It's almost as daft as when the media were linking Isak with Spurs .

Daft drunken bet on the way to match last week , hadn't even clicked at the time when Liverpool scored that the bet had came in and still didn't know until checked my account later that night . Even felt cheated a bit as well as tried to put £10 on it but max stake was £6.25.

Yeah maybe I am just being spoilt , I just don't think PSR is going to let us build a squad good enough to compete in Europe and the league . It's certainly worth being in the CL or Europa and maybe suffering in the league as a result but not sure it would be for the Conference league .

My thoughts on the conference league have definitely changed since last Sunday mind. Even if it is a bit third rate I could always see its purpose for certain clubs and would definitely have accepted being in it to end the trophy drought. Now that we've won a cup I don't even know if I want to be in it with all the disruption it would likely cause our league form. Obviously the CL and Europa League are well worth being in but the conference league just feels a bit meh now.

If it's phased priority it sounds to me like everyone will get one until it sells out otherwise what's the point of doing it in phases .

Genuinely don't think I have ever seen a fan base as broken as them lot are now on rtg. They just keep telling themselves over and over that it's only a tinpot cup and they don't care we won it and they would never celebrate it like we would if they had the same owners . It's almost as if they believe by saying it enough times it will become true .

A for me , would have had him a B before Sunday but winning us a trophy after everything else he has achieved with us has proven he belongs with the very best.

Thought his best days were behind him and felt we should have cashed in on him before now but you can't help but love the guy and what he has done for this club. Him signing in the first place was the catalyst for so much that has happened since. He was brilliant on Sunday and you could see how much it meant to him as he was almost in tears. The definition of a club legend now.

Lost my scarf in amongst all the madness when that second goal went in , genuinely gutted about it .

Was supposed to be back at work today but still got a pretty bad hangover so had to take the day off . Not had a drink since Monday either so shows how heavy Saturday, Sunday and Monday were .

Atmosphere was brilliant, singing pretty much non stop from start to finish .
