I went in 08/09 when Jimmy Milner forced the own goal. Ashley missed an open goal too. 1-0 win.

Only been once, the 2-2 game, great atmosphere and great fun from the away end, got in the paper and my free shirt still fits me! Shame that it diddn't finish with a Villa winner though

I remember that chalked off League Cup game that was replayed. If memory serves, Gareth Southgate missed the last penalty in the shootout. Whose daft idea was it to let him take one at all, let alone the last one?

Wasn't there but I remember a mid-week league game about eight years ago. Dion Dublin scored in the very first minute to put us ahead. Looked like we were going to hold out for a win but then in the last minute 5 Live uttered those heart-stopping words when it involves a Villa game ''There's been a goal at....'' and of course West Ham had equalised at the death, Defoe I think it was who scored.

I will always remember The FA Cup semi final for all the wrong reasons and I remember the 4-1 game well too. I remember thinking what an exciting team we looked, solid at the back and always dangerous going forward. In hindsight I'm surprised that all that squad won in the end was a solitary league cup
