One For The Road Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Villa will be top of the league as soon as we kick off on Friday night (as it stands etc). If we get at least a point we will finish the night as such. When was the last time we were top of the Premier League? And were we ever even top of the Championship? Also, when did we last win 5 straight games in the top flight? As we will have done if we win our next game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Last time we were top of the league after any noticeable amount of time in the season was in 2000 when we were top at Xmas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The headiest heights we reached in the Championship was 2nd, for one fortnight in the 17/18 season. The highest in the PL I can remember recentlywas when we were 4th after 4 games and 10 points in 2014/15. Alan Hutton and Gabby Agbonlahor got new contracts off the back of that Pretty sure we were 3rd/2nd at some points under MON too.

Last time I can recall was after beating Spurs at WHL sometime in late October, maybe 2000? Edited October 19, 2020 by maqroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) This is such an unusual feeling as a Villa fan. I don't want this to end, life is pretty awful right now other wise. Wish I could return to VP for a match this season. Will it be possible in late spring for fans to return to stadia?

OxfordVillan Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 The start to a season that dreams are made of! And we can sit where we are in the knowledge that it hasn’t been handed to us with a simple start, we’ve beaten two of the current top 4 (last seasons champions and the 5th placed team) and a team that flirted with top 4/5 last season before finishing 9th. So three our opening 4 fixtures have been against good teams. I’m going to soak it up and just enjoy it for what it is, a great start. We’ve already amassed more than a third of the points total from the entirety of last season, after FOUR games! What’s not to love about that?!

Kingman Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 We finished runners up in the 90's, maybe 92? We may have a few spells in that period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
