I'm scribbling a few words for the next issue and was hoping people might share what they consider to have been our lowest ebb in recent seasons (post M'ON). I'd like to think we have no depths further to plunge but I aint complacent, who knows what Villa might do to us next.
I've come up with some contenders but please shout if you have others - Bradford, Doncaster, Millwall, Gabby pulling his socks up instead of closing down (was that at Man City?), relegation...
Thanks. And finally, some music ...

The FA Cup final. Crushing, embarrassing and humiliating. Nothing particularly new about all that, but the worldwide audience of millions heightened every depressing sensation. It was as bad as I've ever felt as a Villa fan, but it numbed me to the humiliations to come so that I could hardly give a shit any more.

That Christmas that contained the 8-0 at Chelsea.

Yeah FA Cup for me. Its the only trophy I need the Villa to lift and I have the full set. Worse than the insipid display against Chelski

Kevin Macdonald's team selection with Garde in the stands. Unforgivable.

All of the above. And the Delph 'loyalty' film. And while we're talking about shite on the big screens, that Christmas film with the players cackling.

For me it was the point when we sacked a second manager in a season. For years I've watched clubs implode and always thought they'd hit the point of being utter mickey mouse when they are sacking multiple failed managers in the same season.

The 0-6 at home to Liverpool was utterly shambolic.

Keeping our ''powder dry'' in January when we decided to choose hard relegation and go down without a fight whilst screwing over the manager we'd bullshitted in to joining us.
Any time Tox Fox spoke his deluded sales manager nonsense whilst we rolled around the bottom of the barrel with a handful of points and never scoring.
Watching a Remi Garde interview in February and knowing he hated it here and wanted out asap.
I've hated the past few years, there's absolutely loads of them isn't there.

The 'I feel a bit sorry for Randy, and wish him well' bollocks following his departure.

The lowest point for me was when we were finally relegated with just 16 points on the table. That was the culmination of nearly 6 years of sabotage by Lerner and is quite simply unforgivable for a club as big as Villa.
Saying that though we've got to put all this behind us and just get on with winning promotion this season. The play-offs are still within our grasp.

After years of always staying until the final whistle finding myself on several occasions last season streaming out early in the second half, along with thousands of others, because I was getting zero enjoyment from the football.

Can't argue with any of the above but a special mention goes to the General's re use of the "Proud History, Bright Future" slogan for some southern College in America he'd managed to weasel his way into.
I knew at that moment we were being totally fucked over and we'd all been had by those wankers.
The Liverpool 0-6, Gabby going off with dizzyness and the Lescott tweet was the one day last season that shamed them the most.

The lack of Mcleish protesters on the Holte End steps.
A clear sign of how our support base has changed.
