Title: More goals from years past part 2
Post by: Deano's Mullet on April 04, 2014, 09:23:54 PM: 12 years ago! Great strike from Hitzlsperger. Vassell was a decent striker around then too.

The league cup game from a year later, arguably the match that set us off on our decent middle to end of season run. Angel's goal was brilliant.

Exciting and depressing in equal measure

Exciting because I was there and the bruises suffered afterward were worth a great away victory over the scum. Depressing when comparing the team to the one we have today. Where did it all go wrong?

Look at Mellberg, Johnsen, Laursen, Delaney, Bouma, Samuel, Barry, Hendrie, Hitz, Davis, Milner, Angel, Baros, Vassell, Crouch and Solano. Pretty much the average of O'Leary squad over his three years.

Look at all the money we have squandered to have a squad that is worse than that.

Post by: Matt Collins on October 12, 2014, 04:55:20 PM: It obviously went wrong for O'Leary and he was found out as a manager.

But for about 12 months under him we played some really attractive football. I don't think we passed it as well under MON, and given the money invested that was criminal.

I just watched the Everton 2-3 Villa highlights. We had loads of good players and great belief then. But we couldn't string three passes together. Criminal really.

Post by: jimmygreen on October 14, 2014, 11:12:21 PM: Thanks for posting the Albion game Deano. That was my Dad's last trip to Villa Park. He decided that 'it won't get any better than beating them ba£$%rds in the last minute' and went out on a high.

Post by: somec on October 15, 2014, 12:53:26 PM: Thanks for sharing!

I'd totally forgotten that Staunton got sent off in that Albion game.

Post by: Nelly on October 21, 2014, 07:34:58 PM: Ugh! The commentary on the Chelsea game! Is that Jack Woodward? Sheesh man. Great goal from Angel.

Anyway. This doesn't deserve a thread of it's own but it's nice to see all the same:
