1) Being allowed back on to H&V
Bless! x

Bacuna's pass and Cleverley's finish. Effortless, sublime and all the other clichés.

Bentekes penalty - a massive turning point in every sense of the word, the moment the self-belief began to return, the moment the season really began almost.

I can't add too much that hasn't already been said. Benteke's pen, Gil's goal, Delph contract, semi final and Clark's blockbusting tackle (Oor err)



- and Risso being allowed back on H&V

The Roar at wembley in the dying stages of the game. I think as a club and as a fanbase we allowed ourselves to believe. A lot of people including myself began to feel the pride return. 

This - a proper hairs on the back of the neck moment.

Me screaming uncontrollable expletives at the TV screen that was filled by Lambert's bloated red face – his final drivel seeping from it during the post-match interview on 10th February, 2015.

I gave myself a headache, but the season changed after that and there's been plenty of screaming for the right reasons since. Long may it continue!

whatever happened in the dressing room at half time vs Leicester in the cup, our whole way of approaching games changed during that 15 minutes

I find it very hard to comprehend the fact that Gil has been frozen out, such a talented player.

Me too, but so often the case when a new manager comes in.

I enjoyed the whole Wembley experience, just knowing that we thoroughly deserved it and still having the complete belief that we will win on the 30th. It's been a long time.

Winning and scoring the penalty against Baggies.  That was when the season changed for the good.

Might not be the most exciting at the time, but in hindsight I think the team talk at half time against Leicester in the FA Cup.

Since Bentekes last minute pen, it's  hard to choose.  But as others have said, hopefully 30th May will be one moment that will live long in all our Villa hearts.

For sheer quality, Bacuna's sublime pass, Cleverly's perfectly timed burst into the box, one touch and boom. That for me ranks alongside some of the best goals by any top team all season. And coming as it did when we were beginning to get the jitters against an in-form Everton made it even more important. More of that please.
As a strong runner up, although it came to nothing, the joy of seeing Villa players passing fluently, accurately, calmly and effectively (in the attacking half of the pitch for a change) for something like 50 passes (according to Danny Murphy) before winning a free kick. Just sums up the team ethic under TS for me; we can lump it up to the big man when necessary, but hay we can play it about too. Great stuff.
