The obvious are beating Liverpool in the FA Cup Semi Final and the play off win over Derby County the worst for me the FA Cup Final defeat to Arsenal the League Cup Final with Man Utd were Vidic should have had a red card and our relegation from the Premier League.

Decade of might have been - if managed  better.

Highlights - reaching the FA Cup final
                 play off winners
                 most games against Small Heath
                 Some really good pre season jaunts
                 The renewed active interest in the Villa by more than a few
                 Super Jack

The flip
                relegation
                ticket away prices in the Championship
               The Bradford semi
               Learner losing  interest
               Garde/Black
               Lescott, Bacuna
               McLeish

At the end of the day  however I still love the Villa  as  much as I did 1st January 2010 so nothing changes for better or worse

As O’Neil left in 2010, not counting any of his era. This has been generally the worst 9 years for me as a Villa fan and my first game was in 82, so experienced struggle and relegation previously.

Worst amongst all that, the no show in FA Cup final was soul destroying. The no show in the play off final under Bruce also soul destroying. Bradford semi final humiliating, Sherwood interviews, embarrassing dickhead,  The gradual horrible slow decline after O’Neil left and the knowledge of what we could of done with good management and players around Benteke. And finally the almost cathartic release of relegation.

Ending on a positive, the best.

Liverpool semi final brought a drunk tear to my eye. But the immensity and pure joy of the 10 game run last year, with our boy Jack pulling the strings, and having my kids experience that with me as well, will never be forgotten.

Just hope the memories not tarnished by relegation. Let’s get behind them Boxing Day!!!

Worst - Small Heath winning the first proper trophy in their history

Best - Them being relegated a few weeks later and still being in the Championship a decade later

The FAC semi final win against Liverpool was my favourite.

The worst - Bradford.

Yep would go along with that.  The Liverpool semi final reminded me a bit of the Coca Cola Cup Final when we beat Manchester United in 1994 in that it just felt like we were going to win that day.

Bradford was terrible in itself, but it just topped off the month or so that had come before it.  Looking back,  what is even more frustrating is that we had begun to turn the corner by the time the final came around and would have had a decent chance of beating Swansea in the final.

Best - play off final, followed by Liverpool semi.

Worst - the Xmas period in 2012 when we lost the 3 games 15-0 in total. Bradford semis, the FA Cup final, relegation, the list is almost endless.

Best
 Monday May 27th play off final.

Worst.
Defeat at Leicester 2-3 after leading 2-0. After this game everything got worse and eventually led us to relegatio.

That Leicester result was a real sliding doors moment for me.

Best were the playoff final and Liverpool semi final.

Worst are...too many to recall.

Losing Ugo, Sir Graham, Ron, and Dalian were also very very sad.
