I can think of a few but i'll go for Villa 0-0 Leeds Utd at VP in November 1990.

Nothing happened at all, only memorable by it's dullness and a bad incident post match with a Policeman outside The Vine Pub on Lichfield Road (not hooligan related).

First time i'd been genuinely bored at a game.

Sheffield Wednesday away. Around about 98/99. It was a freezing cold night, awful game in which Hendrie scored the winner with only a couple minutes to go. It was a midweek game the M1 was chocker the only decent thing was the result.

A few years back, MON's first season I took the Mrs to Villa Park for a different experience (she don't get football) to see us play Portsmouth. Terrible game.

Southampton, around 85/86, 0-0, lowest league crowd since the second world war, cold, boring as hell. So boring it's memorable!

Yes, that Southampton game was a shocker and bitterly cold.

I recall we played the Albion on a Friday night near to Christmas in the late eighties - 0-0.  Went with my Boggie mate in the Holte and that was a shocker too.  Most passionless Derby i've ever seen on and off the pitch.

Everton at home in 1993/94, just after winning the League Cup. Stood on the Holte and got drenched. 0-0 and without a proper shot on goal, if I remember correctly. Horrendous.

A few years back we played a pre season friendly away to Feyenoord in Rotterdam. Not sure of the the year, the only thing I remember is George Boateng getting a cheer from the home fans at  his former club.
I went on the club coach trip and of course it was virtually a straight through and immediate return trip via calais. It was a blistering hot day with a few hundred Villa fans there, half of us knackered from spending so many hours on coaches the other half knackered from partying in Amsterdam before moving onto the game.
Suffice to say the game itself was 0-0. I guess I only went as a sort of pilgrimage. I have watched Villa play two games at that stadium in Rotterdam, this goaless friendly and some 1-0 game back in the early 1980s.

1977 League Cup final vs Everton at Wembley

Terrible game. "Pass the ball back..pass the ball back...pass the ball back Everton"
The 1st replay at Hillsborough wasnt much better.

When I remember what I went through to get my ticket to see the game of a thousand passbacks I shudder.

West Ham at home. March 1997  .
0-0 with nothing of note whatsoever happening.
The dullest game that I bothered to trek across the Irish sea for.

0-0 V Wimbledon in 86-87 or the year after (around that period) I was still in the first flush of excitement stage as a ten year old going to VP. Even through Starry eyes it was a shocker!
