Any particular reasons for winning the fa cup

[john e]

Another one where it completes the set

But more importantly than that, I will be at Wembley with my two sons one who is 26 and seen us win .....not a lot, years of pain and shitness, so I will get more joy seeing his face if we actually win it than anything else on that day

The other son is only 7, he will just think this is what supporting Villa is all about, and look forward to years of trophy winning success, little does he know and I won't have the heart to tell him that this might be as good as it gets for the rest of his life

Put simply, I think if we win the cup next Saturday, it will probably be the greatest day of my life

By the time I was 13 we'd won 2 League Cups, the league, the European Cup, Super Cup and shared the Charity Shield. I thought Villa always won stuff. I soon learnt.

I was just turned 20 when we won the European Cup,
With my Gary Shaw haircut I was king of the hill

I'm convinced i'll blart like a big girl when we win!

[West Derby Villan]

Born in October 1957 and I have been lucky enough to have been at all our major matches and see us lift ALL the Silverware but one. That is a good enough reason to win it surely, but no. I have lived in Liverpool since 81 ( a good year to move up there ! ). My daughter although a scouser has the good fortune of being a Villan thro and thro. She has worn her colours with pride throughout the city and even, much to their fathers disgust introduced the Villa to many of her friends. We couldn't get her a ticket in 94, 96 and 2000, but as a season ticket holder for the last 12 years she has her ticket for Saturday 30th. Well I would love my daughter to see us win the FA Cup, something that is my Holy Grail, so we can both blurb together. Come on you Lions UTV

My old man was there in 57. He was 18 and made a weekend of it.

He is now 76. This time we will both be there making a weekend of it. It is just meant to be.

Like so many others of a similar age I desperately want to see us lift the "proper" cup.

When it is done we will all need to see us win the Europa league to complete the set again !!

[Drummond]

It's the only thing I've wanted us to win.  37 years is a long time to wait.

If we win, half of me  thinks I may just stop, that would be it.

[Smirker]

Because we aren't going to lose three finals in a row.

I said last season Macron should make a tribute/retro away kit to inspire us to Wembley this season and they actually did. It's nailed on.

It's going to happen.

As a spin-off from joe_c, I'm probably one of the youngest of the generation who started supporting Villa when we were at our lowest ebb yet we were always being told until we took it as a given that there was something uniquely magical about the club and the only tangible thing we could point to was most FA Cup wins, at a time when that was still the most important gauge of being a big club.

It's the only thing we haven't seen us win, but more than that it's the one thing we've looked forward to winning for decades. The glories of 1980-82 happened so quickly; they went from something that was so impossibly remote we would never even think about it, to happening, to gone, in a flash. The anticipation wasn't there, yet every year I'm pig sick jealous of the teams in the final, even when it was Stoke. I don't suppose I'm the only one of us who's daydreamed about the whole thing - what I'd be doing for the weekend, the night before, pre-match, Abide With Me, seeing the teams comes out, lifting the cup, celebrating - for so long that now it's approaching it doesn't seem real. 

And of course, in all those hopes and dreams the one thing I never thought for a second was that I'd be married to someone who supports the other bloody team. 

[edgysatsuma89]

I've never seen us win anything.

That is depressing.

That's my reason.

[PeterWithesShin]

We older gits sometimes forget there is a generation of Villa fans who haven't seen us win anything of note. Intertoto and Peace Cup aside.

At least we can remember the glory days to help us though when we're crap, for them, we were just a bit less crap.

[mrastonvilla]

My kids asked me at the end of last season if I thought they would get to see villa win something. It would be nice to draw a line under the last 4-5 seasons of struggle by doing exactly that.

Your username, if you're 25/26 can't you remember the '96 League Cup?

[Nelly]

I suppose all supporters feel similarly about their own clubs, but I would argue there is something unique about the Villa. A club that has done it all, started it all, inspired it all. Yes we have fallen a long way and in my thirty years we've won the League Cup twice, so it would be something magnificent to emulate our former glories; to re-kindle the old flame and win the FA Cup again. God willing, this time.

1. Only trophy I haven't seen us win- I don't count the Europa!

2. Exorcise 2000!

3. I've been out of the country for 8 years, but after the last 4-5 years of absolute shit, the people who go week in, week out, fucking deserve it I think.

4. 2 fingers to the Mail, WM, blues, Albion, coventry and all the other media pricks that routinely take the piss out of the midlands.

5. 140 years of tradition needs to be upheld.
