John McGinn

[PaulWinch again]

Yeah he said it post the Forest game.

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.

[Clampy]

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.

I am floating!! I dreamed about lifting a trophy around Birmingham for 8 years but that was special!! Let’s make sure it’s not the last time Aston Villa are in centenary square!! This isn’t the end this is just the beginning!! UTV 💜💜

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

[Mellin]

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.

[Dogtanian]

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.

[Brend'Watkins]

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.

[Hopadop]

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.

[Olneythelonely]

Now officially my favourite ever player.

[rooboy316]

He can take pride in being an integral part of our transformation from Championship to this. His mate sat in a stupid armchair in a Man City kit, played a few matches and was a small cog in the soulless, cheating team he went to. There is more integrity in how he won this trophy than anything Jack did.

Grealish wasn't integral to bringing the club from midtable of the championship to midtable of the PL?

Yes he was and then he fucked off to be a small part in a ruthless, cheating machine and play a bit part in anything he ever won a medal for when he could have been loyal to his club. I was making the point that there is more integrity, commitment and passion in the single medal McGinn has than all the medals Grealish won before he was spat out with the same disloyalty he showed to us.

I agree with all of that, and I also worship at the altar of SJM. But if Man City held him in enough esteem to offer 100 million, and all that entails, he wouldn’t be turning them down for the distant hope of a medal one day at Villa.

[Smirker]

The FA Cup is behind the big two but we need to get our trophy count up.

Don't care what honour it is we can overtake Chelsea very quickly and get back into the top 4.

I agree with the breakdown above. Europa League is huge despite so many trying to downplay it now that we won it.
