Would you swap 94 and 96 for a win in 2000?

[Lucky Eddie]

Does the FA Cup mean that much to anyone that they'd willingly swap both our League Cup wins of 94 and 96 for a win in 2000?

Much as 2000 still stings, I can't say I'd swap the ninety four final alone never mind both; but then I wasn't around to enjoy the seventies finals.

[Deano's Mullet]

Nope. The 1994 final is a day i will never forget. In terms of silverware in my Villa lifetime (since 1988) its the biggest day of them all (finishing 2nd in two league championships isnt bad either but we didnt win the damn things). This was at a time when every team viewed it as a major trophy. Man Utd on the  cover of this season's DVD review mention their victory this season only as a footnote, more emphasis is on  their near misses in the other tournaments . That hurts because it would have meant everything to us had we picked the trophy up.

I'm with Deano's. '94 and '96 were very special cos the competition still meant a lot. Both teams were in my opinion, far superior to the 2000 version and fully deserved their silverware.

[The Man With A Stick]

Me neither.  Our time in the FA Cup will come, you just need to be patient!  53 years isn't that long.

[Pete3206]

Erase the experiences and memories of those 2 weekends in '94 and '96? Not a chance.

Actually, despite the rubbish witnessed in 2000 at Wembley, I still had a great weekend. Same goes for this year as well.

Nothing like winning though is there?

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

We are really getting desperate if we want to exchange what we have got fair and square to get our hands on something that has eluded us for 53 years now by using some dodgy form of cup swapping.

If we are reduced to that, then to paraphrase the alleged comments of Brian Howard Clough.....

You lot may have won all the cups there are to win. But as far as I`m concerned, the first thing you can do for me is to chuck all your cups and all your trophies and all your pots and all your pans into the biggest f***ing dustbin you can find, because you've never won any of them fairly. You've done it all by bloody cheating

[*shellac*]

No way.  Both were excellent.

[Deano's Mullet]

[Irish villain]

No, I wouldn't swap them.

[Legion]

Not a chance.

[saunders_heroes]

Yes I would. The FA Cup is the only cup worth winning, and we as a club have waited way way too long since we last lifted the FA Cup. In fact I'd swap all 5 League Cup wins just to see us win THE cup.

[Mac]

yes.

[atomicjam]

No, too many good memories.
Beating Man U & Leeds, at Wembley, cup finals, wonderful times.

[luke95]

No never .

Although id like us to win the FA Cup more than anything , I wouldnt swap Wembley 94 for anything . I  & like many others no doubt had waited all their Villa supporting years for a Wembley final.

[Villan For Life]

Yes every time.

It's the one domestic trophy that I've never seen us win and would love to see a Villa captain holding that trophy in the air.
