There was another one as well - during Mcleish's time. We were playing Liverpool at home and I got to the game with about 30 minutes already gone and Villa 2-0 down. I thought "why the f*ck should I put myself through an hour of Villa not even look like they're going to score themselves, and indeed concentrating more on damage limitation"? I bought myself a pie and fucked off. The pie was good.

Well this is all very depressing, but going a little off topic, Mr Amfy's version of rock bottom was when PNE had to apply for re-election to the football league, AND had to ask to play all of their matches earlier in the day because they couldn't afford to put the floodlights on. Despite everything, we still can't beat that.

I was in hospital undergoing chemotherapy for the second half of the  McLeish spell and reckon I was having a better time than those going to games.

Good thanks, in remission for 4 years and feeling fit and healthy (or as healthy as you can after Christmas and New Year indulgence).

A lot have already been mentioned, but my personal ones -
Chelsea 8-0.
 Bradford over 2 legs (I actually bought return flights for the final, and still get reminded of that by mates at work).
 Watford at home-  I knew Deeney would score and resigned myself to relegation after that defeat.
The shafting of Remi Garde in the transfer window, although I had resigned myself to relegation to see it spelled out by the club was hard to take.
Liverpool 6-0 defeat- I found this the hardest to take, it really felt personal, like someone was kicking the life out of a family member.
The FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal I found OK, we were easily beaten by a better team, I was there sat close to the Arsenal fans, and watching them celebrate just made we think that one day our day will come, and Villa fans will celebrate an FA Cup like nobody has ever celebrated it before.
