I fancy us for a cup under Lambert. Much as he screwed the pooch with Bradford, I think we could beat anyone on a given day and we're a hard working side who keep on fighting.
They should start etching our name on the FA Cup right now.

Would be delighted with the FA Cup.



The FA Cup and 8th would be a very, very solid season and a tremendous platform from which to build from.

That would be, quite frankly, an INCREDIBLE season.

I've had many an issue with Lambert since he joined but if he won us the FA Cup he would by default become my all time favourite Villa manager.  This is the trophy I want more than any other. I think I'd die and contented and happy man once we have won the FA bloody Cup.

I'd take a 17th in the league if it meant getting the FA cup

The definition of boring guarantees that we are not it. Would anyone be surprised if we won 4-0 at Fulham? Or lost 4-0? Or drew 0-0? Will we play with pace, passing and movement and look unstoppable? Or will we have the passing ability of Pelsall Villa?

If we were boring we would have a good idea which it would be, me, I don't have a clue. And I doubt anyone else does either. Which means we aren't boring.

I pray that in 2-3 years we are boring as shit in that we know going into every game we will very likely win. It will make it a lot easier to plan my weekends because I'll know what mood to bein. It will also be a benefit to Mrs TV and the kids.

I don't often agree with you but on this score I'd agree.

Ever since I started following the Villa in 1978 when we held the record for most wins, it's the one I've wanted to win.

Winning the League etc didn't register as I was only 9 at the time but it was all about the magic of the FA Cup.

Stoke-Cardiff was a classic last night wasn't it?

Those two aren't even the most boring teams in the league as that's comfortably West Ham.

We've been involved in some shite games this season but we're a long way from most boring team in the league.

That for many of us is why we need to win it. That day seems so empty. So many hopes left high and dry by such an inept performance. A demon that needs exorcising.

Nail on the head! I'd been waiting for that day all my life and it was such a let down. I'd give a major organ to see us win the FA Cup.

We had a great chance to win the FA Cup last year but we got knocked out by fucking Millwall only a few days after the most humiliating defeat (Bradford) I hope I ever witness. I just want us to win a cup, any cup will do :(

To answer the question "Are we a boring outfit?", I'd say, yes, at times but overall, no, we're very unpredictable.

If ever I felt the phrase 'Our name is on the cup' it was then for sure. A really horrible display, please please lets try and win it this year. If we can at least give it a go.
