I so want this man to be our next FA Cup winning captain, there would be nothing no more befitting.

I honestly don't give a fuck about the FA Cup. I don't care about the old boys who have seen everything else bar that. Give me the league, give me the Champions League. Get the squad to the standard it was 12 months ago and we have it in us. Here's hoping it's John McGinn stood underneath it/them.

He's absolutey brilliant. Our end of season good run has co-incided with him coming back. I remember some of the 'fat fuck' posts on here when he was going through a dodgy spell and I just didnt get it. What a player and a character.

Captain. Leader. Legend.

Make the flag at Villa Park or paint it on the side of The Warehouse.

It's been far too long since the won the greatest competition in football. It's deeply ingrained in our history, so for me ( yeah im an older boy) I'd take it over both the Title & Champions league . Imagine losing the CHAMPIONS league to a 6th place Bournemouth

That's fair. I'd had a few ales last night. Might have overdone that. Would obviously not turn my nose up at an FA Cup. Do want the other two more many times over though.

We’re not quite at the point where we can scoff at any major trophy!

We want silverware… look at all the tat clubs that have overtaken our trophy haul in the last few decades while we slept.

The giant is awake, stretched, morning wood sorted, and now firmly on the hunt for honours.

In order of importance for us, as I see it….

1. CL/Premier League
2. Europa League
3. FA cup
4. Conference Cup
5. League Cup
6. Super Cup

Sorry to those who will view FA cup higher, as much as I’d love us to win it again it’s becoming, and I hate myself for saying this, a trophy from a different, even bygone era due to it’s devaluation by some of the big 6 which is odd as one of them invariably wins it.

The FA cup was tarnished in 2000 when the champions had better things to do than defend it.

I'd love us to win it, but I'd agree it's a distant third. It never got its lustre back.
