Aston Villa commissioned a Carling Cup Final song. You read that correctly. It’s a song to celebrate the club’s appearance in the secondary cup competition in England. It is performed here by X-Factor finalist a complete unknown named Niki Evans.

Wow. I’m not sure what makes this quite so epic. Is it the cheap synth horns? Is it the creation of the nonsense word “Championees?” Is it the fact that they would have been better off hiring Prince to write this?

The fact that anyone spent money on this at all speaks volumes about the state of financial management in the Premier League. Seriously, wow.
