Why would any villa fan be interested in our heaviest ever defeat?? so wierd Because its an interesting historical fact about our club? Why would anyone be interested in our largest ever attendance, or highest ever goalscorer or lowest ever attendance or longest ever game? Just to improve your knowledge of the club. I find it frankly more weird not to be interested and think it weird to be honest. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats so interesting about looking at us losing games heavily??Your examples are positive aspects of the club having being reminded of a 12 -1 loss for example who wants to know about that? why don't we create a thread about our heaviest derby defeat to the blosers while we are at it? Or wolves? You don't need to cry about it I saw your first post. To have to reply twice thats almigtly wierd.

Paddywhack Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I tried to find a thread that @Demitri_C had started so for the LOLs I could post "Who cares, what a strange thread". I could only find the Dean Smith thread, The Labour Party thread, the one on knife crime and the mental health one. Joke wouldn't have worked, pretty good threads there, Dem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 Like I said, I started thinking about that Liverpool game (as I was wondering how I felt about them winning the PL this season) and I just thought that I wouldn't be surprised if that was our worst result at home in the league ever. But apparently, you think that's wierd, Demitri C. We hit rock bottom that day and it's important for this team and future teams not to equal or beat this record again (losing by six or more goals at home). I was simply thinking I never want to see that result again. Ok? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and Robby are friends again Yes, it's ok, I've said sorry to Dem for my post being unusually negative, to be fair, I decided he did actually have a point there! : D Some people though, when learning a bit more about their club's history, can occasionally feel curious about a few unwanted records, not just all the happy records. Anyway, come on Villa! Beat those pesky Stokeys yeeaaahhhh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez No need to create a new thread, but as you are interested I researched it for you Our heaviest defeat to Blues was 4-0 in Division Two in 1968. Our biggest win against Blues was 6-0 in the Simod Cup in 1988 or 5-0 in the League Cup in 1988, in League games we've beaten them by 4 goals on numerous occasions but the most goals we have scored was in 1894 in Division One when we beat them 7-3. Our heaviest defeat to Wolves is also 4-0, this happened on 3 occasions 1899, 1948 & 1958 all in Division One. Our biggest win against Wolves was 6-0 in 1905, Division One. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember an enjoyable little patch in the 2003/04 season where we went to Leicester and won 5-0, before going to Molineux and doing them 4-0. Pretty sure in the Leicester fixture one of their fans ran onto the pitch and slapped their goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The inevitable squelch of sliding into the plughole after several years circling it. Less than twelve months after our best Wembley showing in this century... and our worst. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
