How would you feel if Villa won the FA Cup having been inspired by your words of wisdom?

Now is your chance to motivate - and stir the emotions - like never before as we decorate our dressing room with your enthusiastic rallying cries.

We are asking supporters to tweet their special 'team talks' for the players, using the #FinalWord hashtag.

The best of these will be put up in the West Stand changing room for the lads to look at for inspiration on the eve of the Arsenal clash.

The same was done before the Liverpool game and Tim Sherwood was so impressed, he wants the same again this time around for the showpiece of the competition.

We will be working around the clock to get your good luck notes placed all over the dressing room as we did for the last four encounter with the Reds.

Want the Cup
Be the Cup
Wear the Cup!  (After winning it)

This is my favourite, I especially like how it's potentially ambiguous. I can just picture Gabby trying to wank, shit, and chunder at the same time just after Sherwood names the teamsheet.

These experiences aren't given, there earned  and you Villa boys have been through one helluva time this season. You are about to be inducted into Villa's proud history because today is your time.

My boys are primed, I mean really primed, because I primed them.  They're not only primed, they're honed, honed to a sharp razor edge.  We're not just going out there to win, we're going out there for glory.   We're going to yank them, tear them, and rip them.  We're going to roll them around and rip them apart!  Then we're going to slaughter them.  And after the slaughter is over, we're going to come back here and ring that victory bell. Just like we always wanted to.

We have queued for hours in the cold and rain to spend money we don't have on over priced tickets. We have stuck champagne in our weekend bag for Saturday night. We plan on taking over North London. We know we will struggle for a voice on Sunday.

And why?

Because we believe. You will hear it, you will see it.

Now you need to believe and deliver. You represent the finest footballing institution there ever was.

It is our time. It is our year. You have an opportunity we would all sell our house for.

So it is up to you. Are you interested in your bank balance? In sitting on a bench watching one rich team lose to another? Or do you want to play? To be part of something special that will go down in the annals of the most historic team in the world?

What you do today decides that. Do you want to be spoken about in 100 years time, long after you are dead and gone? Do you want generations of our enormous support to rally to you even if you did move on to another club at some point?

Do you want to make grown men cry with happiness?  Do you want to be responsible for a baby boom in Birmingham next February?

I don't know. But I do know this.  You carry a great weight but an enormous amount of goodwill into the task before you.

It won't be easy. We are clear underdogs. But we ARE all in this together. Will you stand toe to toe with me on the Frontline?

Will you perform in the manner the fans will to support you?

If you can, take a place on the team sheet and Co ntemplate what we would pay to change places.

This is us. This is what we do and where we should be year after year. Now is your time.

Write your name into folklore. Attain legend status. It is all on you now.  You will be given the full Ron Saunders 110% backing. Now you need to drive us into more.

It is ours for the taking if you brace yourselves to the jobs required of you.

Now walk onto the pitch, see what we believe and feed off it. This Cup is in your gift.

Gift it to us.

Mine's a bastardised quotation from 'Miss Congeniality'.
I think you're both ahead.


And I really like the others I've read on here.

If I was in the dressing room at Wembley getting ready to play the FACup Final I wouldn't want or need to take inspiration from anywhere other than these messages, my family and ultimately myself.


However, I'd probably listen to Tim. ;)

If you PM me I am available for stirring words to put you in the mood before the game if you meet us at the designated pre match pub.

If I can cough that up 2 weeks in advance just wait until I am prepared and have had a couple of pints.

Bit obvious and somewhat badly done ......

We don’t want gold.
Such outward things don’t dwell in our desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
We are the most offending souls alive.

This day is call’d the cup final.
He that plays for us this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam’d,
He that plays this day, and sees old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say “To-morrow is cup final day.”
Then will he open his cupboard and show his trophies,
And say “This medal I won that day”

Old men forget; the critics will forget, but you’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats you did that day.
Then shall your names, familiar in our mouths as household words-
Jack the King, Benteke and Vlaar,
Gabby and Fabian, Tom and Shay -
Be in our flowing cups freshly rememb’red.

This story we’ll teach our children;
And Cup Final Day shall ne’er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But you in it shall be remembered-
You few, you happy few, you band of brothers;
For he to-day that plays this game for us will be our brother.

And so so many player players now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their careers cheap whiles any speaks
That fought and won with us on Cup Final Day.
