The Villa on your birthday.
« on: April 18, 2011, 09:55:49 PM »
How do they fare then?

Mine on Sunday so obviously counting the Stoke game as the nearest.

Looked back over the last 10 years and our results around this date are surprisingly good.

April 25th 2010- beat SHA 1-0.

April 25th 2009- 1-1 at Bolton.

April 27th 2008- 2-2 at Everton (although I also count the 5-1 over SHA as that was on the 20th.)

April 26th 2007- 0-0 with Pompey.

April 25th 2004- 1-1 at home to Bolton.

April 24th 2004- 2-1 at Boro (last minute Crouch winner).

Not too bad really cue a weekend loss to Stoke.

How do we do around yours, include a 17-0 win over some Swedish pub team if yours is in July!  ;)

22/11/1997 We beat Everton 2-1 at home after conceding an early penalty. Sat in the Doug Ellis Upper with my mate - a Scouse Evertonian - and my neutral dad. Savo and Ehiogu scored ours and Collymore had one of his better games having a goal chalked off in the second half.

Thats the one that comes to mind, i am sure theres more.

Recent ones from memory, these were either on the date of my birthday or the game closest to it: ipswich 0-0 villa, southampton 2-2 villa (we were 2-0 up), villa 0-2 blackburn, blues 2-0 villa, everton 4-1 villa, villa 0-0 liverpool, villa 0-1 sunderland, liverpool 5-0 villa, villa 2-2 wolves, villa 0-1 wolves.

Just had a look and the last time we won on the weekend closest to my birthday was in 1997, we beat Blackburn away 2-0.

Mine''s 14th February. All I can remember is a particularly horrible home defeat to Coventry City.

Mine's in March aswell and last season it was the day of the Chelsea game - needless to say the gloss was taken off the day.

Mine is this coming Saturday.

I'm still not over seeing us lose at home to Man City 5-1 on my birthday back in 1989.

The best one I can remember is 19th September 1993 -

Aston Villa 4-2 against Liverpool. Rosental hit the bar of an open goal :)

I was 16
