zzzzz... If you can remember it, dullest game you've attended?

[Tom_Mc9?]

Villa 0-2 Blackburn. There were gales to the extent that the trains stopped running. The ball seems to just go out of play from every goal kick. And we lost 2-0. At home. To Blackburn Rovers.

1977 League Cup final vs Everton at Wembley

Oh God.
The highlights were:

Chasing scouse touts when we arrived
A Duncan Mackenzie shot over the bar in the first half
The delay to the second half while both teams searched for a band members spur

Errrr... that's it

[asgpaul]

I can't recall what season it was, think I've tried to wipe from memory but we drew 0-0 with Coventry at VP and those t**ts from Sky had the nerve to switch it to a Monday night game too!!!

Think I saw worse as a kid but the fact I had moved to Bristol a few years earlier and still decided to drive up to watch that made me vow to never attend another Monday night game again, but being a t**t myself, I continue to attend fixtures switched by sky tho' I think I'm safe in saying I'll never attend another Monday night game against Coventry!!!!!

Villa 0-0 Everton 1993-94 and 1994-95. Both finished goalless, the first one the afore-mentioned anti-climax after the League Cup win, the second a tense stalemate between two teams fighting relegation.

Villa 0-1 Man City 1996 Alan Wright hit the crossbar - that was it. We were guaranteed 4th and had won a cup, City needed to win to avoid the drop and they won the battle but not the war.
 
Villa 1-0 Bradford 1999  Ok we won but symptomatic of several John Gregory home performances we were shocking and not pretty on the eye at all.

Villa 0-1 Blackburn last season. One chance all match i reckon and they took it.

As suggested in the thread title, I've probably been to dozens of instantly forgettable Villa matches - and, guess what?  I've forgotten them. 

One match though played at Villa Park remains in my mind for its shear tedium.  The summer of 95 as England prepared for Euro 96 and I was tempted into doing what I would ordinarily steer well clear of: attend a meaningless international friendly.  Well it was for the Umbro Cup, but it was a friendly in all but name. Brazil v Sweden, which 12 months earlier had been a World Cup semi-final.  I know it finished 1-0 to Brazil, but other than the fact it was played at a funerial pace, I can't remember anything about watching the World Champions whatsoever.

The 0-0 at home to Cov when the highlights were the squadrons of paper planes coming from the Holte.

Another 0-0, this time Boro. I think it was a midweek game just before the LC Final, i'm sure I remember Scott Murray playing.
19/03/96, It was indeed just before the 96 LC Final, and Scott Murray did play.

Quite a few but Wembley 2000 sticks around in my head probably because it was a big occasion.

Villa 0 - Everton 0 in 1998 at home, I want to block it from memory

[eric woolban woolban]

There was another really awful Everton 0-0 game. I think when we had a caretaker in charge. Can't remember the season, but it was in the last 15 years or so.

Probably one of the ones mentioned above.

[Charlie8182]

A couple of 0-0 home draws against Man City come to mind, so dull that I remember them...
April 1987, just before we were relegated, most notable for the continual driving rain and pretty much nothing else.
February 1994, a re-scheduled night game with not many there, it was freezing and a desparate game, only thing worth noting was Dean Saunders shooting wide from a penalty.

And October 2000, a Sunday Sky game at home to Sunderland and again 0-0.  Kevin Phillips hit the bar for them, and thats really all that happened.

[andyaston]

Yea I remember that 0-0 v Coventry with the paper planes, served Sky right. And it being a bitter cold Monday night game made it worse.

Deehan was in charge, between Gregory leaving and Taylor returning? Feb 2002, a supporter ran on the pitch I think.

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.

You may be thinking of a rescheduled league game a couple of days after beating Bolton in the semi-final of the FA Cup. We won 1-0, Alan Thompson scored in the last minute. Quite a few fringe players got a run out to ''impress for a Cup final place''. I believe the lesser-spotted Najwan Ghrayib even got a run-out.

[luke25]

A few 0-0's stand out, Norwich away last time they were up, Stoke away last season, blues at home this season was wretched, remember going to Sunderland under GT II and having a row to myself, no atmosphere, no shots or anything of any note, we lost to a late Bellion goal.
