The_Rev Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 A bit of gallows humour I guess, but the official website had to cancel their goal of the month competition for October because we didn't score any goals. Daily Mirror reports. Aston Villa forced to cancel their goal of the month vote... because they didn't score one! Nov 04, 2014 10:43 By Lee Thomas-Mason We feel sorry for the Villa fans because they can't vote on their October Goal of the Month... because they didn't manage to score one. 1538 Shares Share Tweet +1 Email Reuters We know Paul, a whole month without a single goal. Aston Villa's official club website have been forced to cancel their October Goal of the Month competition because they didn't find the net once. Paul Lambert's men managed to last and insufferable 547 Premier League minutes of football without scoring a single goal, then up stepped Andy Weimann on Sunday. Before Weimann netted in their 1-2 defeat at Villa Park, their last goal came at Anfield in the 9th minute on the 13th of September, a 49 day draught. You get the impression from the above tweet that the person at the helm of the club's Twitter account had been waiting to type that for quite some time. But sadly for those Villa fans that enjoy a little vote on the goal of the month poll every now and then will have to go without this month... because there wasn't any. Well it got us thinking, we don't want the fans to go without so we came up with a couple of suggestions for their website to use instead: 1. Throw in of the Month 2. Foul of the Month 3. Goal kick of the Month 4. Near miss of the Month 5. Roy Keane reaction of the Month Which subject should Villa use as their October vote? Throw in of the Month Foul of the Month Goal kick of the Month Near miss of the Month Roy Keane reaction of the Month 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 4, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2014 We should just have a save of the month instead? Guzan did plenty of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Surely they could've made an exception and given it to Aly Cissokho's own goal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Might as well give the November Goal of the Month award to Weimann now...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Now would be a good time to quietly cancel the goal of the month competition for good - we can just say it was going to be scrapped anyway... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Since we did not score any goals in October, I advocate throwing open the nominations to include "goals scored by any other team in the month of October." I nominate Vergini's sweet volleyed own goal vs. Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
