Really highlights just how bad our home form has been for a while now.

A good quiz question comes out of that. How many teams are ever present and who are they? How many would get it without looking?

Ever present in the Prem since 1992/93 would be:-

Arsenal
Aston Villa
Chelsea
Everton
Liverpool
Manchester United
Tottenham Hotspur

In the last 10 years you can add Fulham and Manchester City.

Small Heath will be wanting an open top bus parade for finishing that high.

Blacburn have won more home games than us?! Despite being in the league for three seasons less.

One less, Eamonn  ;)

Fulham's home wins is the surprise for me

Well they won as many home games the year they won the title as we have in the last 3 and a half seasons so those three seasons haven't done us much good on that front!!!

You can draw up a table over any period in the last thirty years for definite and probably longer than that and our home form will look comparatively poor. We've never been particularly good at home.

Hang on!  Just realised they haven't actually won more games (one less) and the numbers don't include the year they won the title!

Probably best to just ignore any reference to Blackburn!

We were very good at home for all my youth through to the mid 80s, particularly under Ron Saunders. In fact, under Saunders, Villa Park was pretty much a fortress. I grew up watching Villa being strong at home so find our home form of the past few years really galling.

Even the year we were relegated to the 3rd division we were average at home (we lost 5 or 6 at home all season, as many as we have already in December) but I don't think we won a single away game.

However in my lifetime I don't think we have ever had a season undefeated at Villa Park. That would be quite nice.

The facts say otherwise. From getting promoted to Saunders leaving we lost by my reckoning 25 home league games in just over 6 1/2 seasons. It's a good record but it's not a fortress.

Out of all the teams who have been in the prem for all those 10 years, we are, with the exception of Fulham, the worst team.
