Quote from: saunders_heroes on January 23, 2013, 01:42:43 PMHave we ever been this bad before though? Even in 86-87 I don't remember us being this appalling. Oh, I do. We finished bottom of the old Division One, with a lot of kids in the side. It was pretty grim. And we've had bad patches before where we were in danger. That first season back in Division One, then 1994-95, 2002-03. There are probably others.Maybe I'm just unlucky to have the nutters congregate around me at the moment. Not really sure, hence the OP.

Off the top of my head I don't remember us being on the end of some of, if not the most humiliating defeats in the club's history in 86-87 though. That's what we've had to endure this season.

The same Mr Bannan who is barred from the Belfry Golf Course for continually driving his golf buggy onto the tees?After repeated requests from the green keepers not to do this he came out with the Do you know who i am line.He was barred on the spot. Arrogance has taken over in football, to much money for doing fuckall. It is a disgrace.Barry fucking Bannan is not fit to lace a proper footballers boots. Fuck me, i bet Mr Cowans cringes at some of these tossers.

We were humiliated before the Chelsea game as well. The Everton game in August was embarrassing.
I agree with your post Chris and to be honest I get more annoyed with mindless Villa fans these days than opposition fans.

Even in 86-87 I don't remember us being this appalling. We spent two years in division three in the 70s, we've been much worse. We've got the basis of a half decent side but they desperately need some help.

Everton was poor, but we've had poor before, on too many occasions to count. The score might not have been as bad if Given hadn't dropped the ball into his own net for their second.
We're not down yet and we can still stay up. So all's not lost, yet.
