Spoony Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Not wanting to be a Negative Nancy or a Glass-Half-Empty Graham, but the 'Greatest ever Villa game' has been a great read for me as I'm too young for a lot of the games mentioned and it's nice to learn some fan experiences of the club. So by the same token (and because there is bugger all else happening) I wonder what everyone's worst game as a Villa fan has been? I'll go in for the obvious and say for me it has to be the 8-0 reverse at Chelsea. I couldn't look a football fan in the eye for days after that and I've never been so low as a Villa fan. I couldn't even look at the score in the paper or anything. I'd be interested to hear of some further back than that!
Jimzk5 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) There's been a lot to pick from lately, but the 0-3 at home to Wigan still gives me nightmares I picked this because despite the hammerings we've had before, invariably they have come at the hands of teams much better than us, but to see Wigan, **** Wigan completely destroy us was the worst day of my life as a villa supporter.

villarule123 Posted January 12, 2014 VT Supporter Posted January 12, 2014 Any of the defeats to Wigan at home. 0-2 in 2006, 0-2 in 2009, 0-3 in 2013 So glad they're down, I'd probably pick the 2006 one, people spent the entire second half banging on their chairs, I'm sure some of you will remember it
jonno_2004 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 3-0 to Birmingham - was just hell going into school the next day as a 12/13 year old, I can still remember the feeling of anger/dread/sheer hate. The 2-0 reverse wasn't much better either. 1
Adam_ Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Losing to Bradford over 2 legs tops everything for me. At least with the Chelsea loss we were losing to one of the best teams in Europe and not an average league 2 team. Edited January 12, 2014 by Adam_ 1
ClarrieBlue Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Bradford home last year. Even though we were 3-1 down from the first leg I always felt we would go through. The last 20 mins were horrendous to watch.
villarule123 Posted January 12, 2014 VT Supporter Posted January 12, 2014 3-0 to Birmingham - was just hell going into school the next day as a 12/13 year old, I can still remember the feeling of anger/dread/sheer hate. The 2-0 reverse wasn't much better either. We had a 'beat up a Bluenose' day at school after that. People were genuinely punching noses in the stomach for being a nose With it being in Solihull, there was plenty of beats being dished out 2
Cliffy Biro Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 The 7-0 and 8-0 against chelsea were bad but then its a multimillion pound squad but for me its probably bradford at home, there was no tactics that night it was unbelievable chucking 4 strikers on at the end just absolutely embarrassing and desperate. I've not had that feeling i had after that game before and i hope i never do again it was incredibly weird.
Electric Avenue Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 The 0-8 at Stamford bridge. I was sat in the Chelsea end with a Chelsea mate . I've never felt so let down or humiliated at a villa game. The second worst was Bradford over the 2 legs. Absolute embarrassment . Then it's black Monday and the 0-3 home loss. 1
islingtonclaret Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Doncaster. And that 2-0 for Wigan in 2009. The media banged on about it for 2 years for some reason, only because it was the opening game of the season. 1
benireduk Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 2000 FA Cup Final was a tough one. We didn't even turn up to play, just to defend and hope we sneaked a goal. Bradford at VP last season was probably the worst. Even though we 'won' the game, to be surrounded by Bradford fans at FT celebrating was sickening. Also the Stoke game after the Moscow debacle in 2009. 2-0 up heading into injury time, and the Clayheads score two in a couple of minutes. Things Might have been different if we'd have won that game. 3
AvfcTheObsession Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 3-0 to Blues when Enckelman let the ball under his foot, going into school in Acocks Green the next day was torture. 0-3 at home to Chelsea, was about 10-15 years ago couldnt tell you exactly when, we had Steve Stone n some other headless chickens running round in midfield. Ive picked this game as we were genuinely played off the park from start to finish and it sticks in the memory for me.

I'd buried that game into the back of my mind. I remember when Carew scored that worldy the commentator said 'and that surely secures the win for Villa' and I thought it was cursed. Sure enough, it was.
VillaChris Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Recently the Wigan 0-3 from last season. I walked out of the Holte with 10 minutes left, never left that early before no matter how bad the performance. One from years back that sticks out was the embarrassment of losing 1-4 at home to Coventry in 1999 when our title hopes were blowing up.All the other recent ones have been covered.
keefa3011 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Losing 4-1 at home to Coventry is probably the worst I can remember going to. Although Wigan last season was really bad, with the manager choosing to play 5 at the back at home against them.
Hanky Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 As it has not been mentioned before, although we didn't lose, the 2-2 game against Small Heath a few years back when Stern John scored in injury time was an absolute sickener. Battered them for 65 minutes and could of been about 5 up. 2
PaulC Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Inter Milan 3 Villa 0 was probably amongst the most dissapointing as we won the home leg 2-0 and to surrender that so meakly was bad. 1
Electric Avenue Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 That cup game against Yanited . 2 up with 8 mins left and we lose 2-3! Felt awful after that Also the 4-4 with Leicester and the 4-4 with spurs. On both occasions throwing away 4-1 leads .
villa4europe Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 yeah i remember that cup game too, the bastards running on to the pitch the 4-0 away to man city was shit, we didn't look interested in the slightest, fair few of the defeats under mcleish can be added to that, home games where we were happy to lose 1-0
