About five of us regularly shared a car (we did all own our own car we just took it in turns to drive) to away games in 1989/1990. Chris Price had never scored for us and missed a sitter late on in the game at Highbury. One of our gang then rather loudly gave the opinion that (and I quote) "Chris Price will never score for Villa as long as he has a hole in his arse". Moments later Chris Price scored the winner and the rest of us slaughtered our mate for that comment all the way back to Birmingham.

We played Coventry away on a Sunday and that's where it went wrong. A better memory of the day was the special piece the Sunday Mercury done that day , loads of old villa pictures from 70s and 80s.

Our defence struggled when Mountfield became injured. He was an important player for us that season

The reason I'm a Villa fan!

I was only 8.  The Spurs away game where we won 2-0 and went top was my 9th birthday. Went to a few games that season including the 3-3 with Norwich which handed Liverpool the title.

That was a great season, we had just been promoted two seasons earlier, struggled to stay up the first year up but then after a slow start in this season, really went on a tear.  If we had started stronger we could have won the league that year.  We were the surprise package and just kept grinding out good results (think Leicester), only this time Liverpool were not in the mood for easing up.

I think Derek Mountfield injured his knee that day and never really recovered his form and fitness for the rest of the season. I remember one of our mate's had a friend who knew Coventry's Greg Downs so we had free tickets in one of the home stands and got loads of stick off the Coventry fans.

Happy days.

Albion in the Cup, Spurs, Arsenal and the last day at Everton: four of my all time favourite away days.

Chelsea away on New Year’s Day - when Stamford Bridge was still a crumbling dump. Hangover, Daley wonder goal, locked in the away end for ages after. The end of the best festive period I can remember

[garyshawsknee]

After all these years I can confess that the reason we lost out to Liverpool was because I went to the home defeats to Wimbledon and Man City, which at the time went against our form. I did go to the Luton away win, so maybe it wasn't all my fault.

Everton was a legendary day out. I came out of White Hart Lane that night convinced we would win the league. Albion was a good day out too. Am I right in saying it was an early kick off? Early kick offs were great when you won and you could spend the rest of the day celebrating in the pub. On the flip side if you lose you have the whole of the day and night to stew on the result and sulk. Coventry on Boxing Day 1992 springs to mind.
