BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 After yesterday we all got that all too familiar feeling of despair, anger and "if only".. Its happenened time and time again with our young, inexperienced defence but its been going on at the Villa for a very long time. List all the painful ones you remember most. Some off top of my head; This season alone Everton 3-3 Villa (93rd min equaliser, 3-1 up) West Brom 2-2 Villa (84th min equaliser, 2-0 up) Swansea 2-2 (95th min equaliser) Villa 2-3 Man Utd (87th min winner, 2-0 up) Others off top off head, Last season: QPR 1-1 Villa (Dunne 93rd min OG and we had 11 vs. 10) Sunderland 2-2 Villa (went 2-1 up in 85th, still couldnt see it out) Before that: Villa 0-1 Liverpool (Snow game boxing day, Torres last kick) Arsenal 1-1 Villa (Bendtner last kick of fame) Stoke 3-2 Villa (long throw) Man Utd 3-2 Villa (Macheda) Villa 2-2 Blosers (Stern John, made me sick) Man Utd 1-1 Villa (Mellberg for us, held out til 90th, Forlan equalised I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted February 3, 2013 Moderator Share Posted February 3, 2013 The Spurs 4-4 at WHL was a killer personally and the one against Leicester many many years ago when Draper ripped us to pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Villa 2-2 Stoke (2-0 up when we were pushing for CL, 2 goals in last 3 mins) Fulham 1-0 Villa (this season, Bairds goal was last min I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 How many comebacks have we made over the years? very little right? Something is very wrong with this club as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that Leicester game, a Wednesday night if I recall, **** freezing. We were 4-1 up I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Only two positive ones i can think of- zat knight v arsenal 2-2 i think? And of course ashley young v everton to win 2-3. Definately more bad memories than good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yeah that 3-2 at Goodison I went from f'n and blinding in the living room when Lescott equalised, my old man was going mad at me calm down all that, to jumpin around musta looked like a right spoilt div to rest of family. They just dont understand our blind passion for this club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danwichmann Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Arsenal 3-2, interrupted by suicidal sky divers. Stromsgodset 3-2, two goals in injury time. Coventry 3-2, sending them to Div 1. We've had a few but they all start to feel a very long time ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 How many comebacks have we made over the years? very little right? Something is very wrong with this club as a whole. Yeah. What is even more worrying is that this pathetic fragile mentality seems to stay regardless of which players come in and out of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Stoke 2-2 Birmingham 2-2 Spurs 4-4 the multiple United comebacks but Macheda was the worst Arsenal 3-2 (enckelman was in goal) ----------------------------------------------------- though on flipside we did relegate Coventry with a late comeback and Young winner at Everton are standout moments. Also remember a few hitlzsperger late winners vs Bolton and WBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The capitulations to Manchester United are particularly hard to take. The Macheda game comes to mind. And before that, the Van Nistelrooy game. Late game collapses are a Villa specialty, I've come to accept it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 the FA CUp game vs United in 2002 was the worst for me. we were 2 up and then after about 70 minutes they put on Van Nistelrooy, Scholes and Keane(i think) and our experienced enough team became terrified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 There seems to be this mentality of holding on to a small margin of victory, which is why we sit back and invite pressure upon ourselves time and time again. Teams like United go and attack and try to score more...I wish we would do that. Attack is the best form of defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Spuds 4-4 United 2-2 (Albrighton's goal) United 2-3 (this season) United 3-2 (**** Mechada.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that Leicester game, a Wednesday night if I recall, **** freezing. We were 4-1 up I believe. Yep likewise and that is how I recall it as well. The performance from Draper that night was simply brilliant, sadly he never really reached that standard when he joined us although he did have a good first season.
