To win the Europa League would involve at least nine away trips, so that's a lot of dosh to find up put on the credit card.

To win the FA Cup involves two trips to Wembley as priced by the FA.

So I'll go for the Europa League as it's kinder on the pocket and more fun.

Europa/UEFA

Purely because we have never won it

This was my thinking.

But I'd love to see us win the FA Cup before I die.

Me too

There has to come a time when we get home draws against shit teams every round

This is what worries me about the Bolton game on Tuesday. Got a feeling this could be a bit of a bruiser. So if we want to advance, we will probably have to put out a strong team, which is not what we wanted.

The 56-57 season was my second on the terraces at VP, By the time that seasons FA Cup Final arrived I was 11 years old and my dad told me I was too young to go to Wembley. ( I think what he really meant was that he was going to be pissed all day and that he'd forget that I was with him.)
The only reason I'm hanging around now is because I want to be at Wembley to see a Villa Captain lift the FA Cup. So come on Villa get it sorted.....unless you want to have the oldest man in the world tottering around The Holte End.

The FA Cup. It's the one domestic trophy that we haven't won in my lifetime.

Same here and for a fair percentage on here I'd suspect.

FA Cup for me too. As a fan of a certain age (51) I have been fortunate to see my team win League, League cups (too many to count,hehe), Champions of Europe etc. but the last FA Cup win was before even I was born.
Considering our history in this famous trophy I too want to witness this in my lifetime to complete the 'set' as it were.

Don't worry, this is our year.  ::)
