tooblu - up until the mid/late 60s the league cup was regarded as a worthless competition on a par with the later leyland-daf trophy, for the first few years in fact, many top teams opted out of playing in it. so one hundred (and thirty) years and won fuck all? Yes. as for Villa, yes only one league trophy and one fa cup for a very long time, however that's one more than the blues in their entire history. and you conveniently failed to mention our European Cup win, European Super Cup win and 4 league cup wins (i won't count the one we won in 1961 as it was a mickey mouse competition then as previously stated. Are we a big club? Depends who you compare us to. Compared to Man U - No. Compared to Small Heath - definately YES.
