Title: The best of Villa fans
Post by: Smirker on March 08, 2024, 07:43:02 PM
I thought I'd post a thread showing moments where the fans have made an especially loud noise or moments in games that were impressive.

I'll start with this one.



Ones that I can't find but would like to see:

- Gary Neville creaming himself after the 2-0 Everton game in our first season back up.

- Delph vs Chelsea.

- Any pundits creaming themselves over the support.

I posted it in this section because more people view it but if I've done wrong then move it to Villa Memories and burn me at the stake  8)

Inter at home 1994. Only 30k as upper Holte was not finished but deafening noise.

 The loudest chanting I've ever heard was following the second goal vs Arsenal on , I believe the 29th of December 1989. Full house, charging towards the top of the league and everyone in Christmas cheer.

Fair play to them. Both sets.

Collymore's goal at Villa Park against Athletico Madrid.

Albion at home title winning season, Peter Withe finishing off a Brendan Batson assist.

Rotherham  away last promotion . Don't really care for the Allez Allez song , but sounded great ( with added the Brummie twang ) in the away end that night.

The massive roar that went around Wembley in around the 87th minute in the 2015 FA Cup semi-final.

Tranmere was noisy too. And the Play Off Final with Fulham, my ears rang for hours after that one.

3.14 for the Grealish goal

I'm going to have to go with Brian Little's first and Villa's second in the 1977 League Cup Final second replay at OT. It may have been the acoustics in there but I've never heard noise like it. In reality it was probably the fact that it came so soon after Chris Nichols's equaliser.

Tottenham League cup final 71
L.C Semi Newton Heath 70
Arsenal cup home, replay 74
Bloose 5-1 
Big gap between 3 and 4
Visitor back for number 4 so probably missed some magic times in between.
The first 3 each have a very special place in my heart.

The atmosphere for this one was pretty good.

I was there!

The noise levels were tremendous after the equaliser; until then the fans had been quiet as the tension built towards the end of the game. After Andy Lochhead's winner, Chico Hamilton put a shot just wide and I remember that I couldn't hear my self think.

This deserves a wider audience, Villa fans and Tyrone Mings owning Leeds at Elland Road.

I remember the 7-1 loss at Chelsea when we kept singing Claret & Blue Army over and over again while the Chelsea fans looked at us like we were mad.

The 3-3 last game of the season at Goodison, Taylor’s final game in charge. Incredible support.

I still haven't stopped laughing about Tyrone's little walk over to them at the end. I was there and it was a top night.
