dounavilla Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Seeing as it's almost of doom and gloom thought this my be a little bit of fun. I thought I'd have a look at the date in which everyone joined VillaTalk and the first Villa result (non friendly) since joining. Joined VillaTalk = 29 June 2007 Villa result = Prem. 11 Aug 2007 Aston Villa 1 Liverpool 2 Barry (pen) Laursen (og) Gerrard Apologies mods if in the wrong place 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 2-2 draw against Everton in April 2011. If memory serves, Darren Bent was doing the business with some predatory finishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Great idea for a thread. Mine was 5th March 2011, Bolton 3 Villa 2 under Houllier. I could have sworn I was on here during O'Neill's time but guess I was just browsing before taking the plunge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 2-2 draw with Bolton. That rocket polisher O'Leary was our gaffer. Baros was top scorer with 8. We finished 16th. There was mutiny at the end of the season between players and staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Great thread idea! Just checked and apparently I joined on 26th September 2007. (I was posting on here years before under different username). First match after joining was that Spurs 4 Villa 4 game on Monday night, think it was an anniversary for Spurs and we were 4-1 up and predictably threw it away.

MrBlack Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Joined 14th August 2018. Can't recall if this was before or after we played that day but I'd assume after. So on that basis, the first result would have been a 1-1 draw with 10 men Ipswich. They played over half the game with 10 men, and despite having nearly all the ball we failed to create any real chances. Bit of a downer after the run we'd been on before.

Adam2003 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Joined October 4th 2004, lost 3-1 to Arsenal the next match. Feel like I could have guessed the result without knowing the date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichfield Dean Posted August 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) 10th Feb 2015. On the same day: Hull City 2 - 0 Aston Villa Hmmmm.... Edited August 6, 2022 by Lichfield Dean I'd been a regular viewer for years before that. I wonder if this result prompted me to join so I could grumble about it?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icouldtelltheworld Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Joined in July 2013 after a fair amount of time lurking.

We had just lost 3 in a row when I joined, and I’m pretty sure I was calling for him to go at that point. We were playing awfully. I still can’t believe we managed to finish 9th that season.
