Seriously though:
A game vrs Newcastle a few years back, around 1979 I think. Winter and raining if my memory's right.
We went 1-0 up in the 1st minute and .................... that was it.
I remember going home thinking it had been 0-0, I'd forgotten we'd scored it was so boring.

There was a 0-0 at St Andrews under O'Leary but not at Villa Park.

I found that game exciting. I was away for the weekend in Herfordshire and could just vaguely pick up the WM signal on an old radio constantly having to move the radio and aerial around for 90 minutes.

some  %  Villa

watched Redditch United vs. Evesham in a 1988/89 pre pre pre FA Cup qualifier (!), whilst Dennis Mortimer was player-manager of 'The Reds'. It was a bloody freezing windswept October afternoon and a  diabolical game of football. Only good thing was seeing Mortimer, who actually played in it.

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

This is the clear winner for me. You really had to be there to appreciate how miserable it was. 8,000 for a top flight match and one chance for Villa right at the end, that was fluffed by a virtually crippled Gary Shaw. Shocking.

Under Sir Graham MK2 losing 1-0 at home to Southampton

Last season the 1-0 defeat to Sunderland

Quite a few of the games under Gregory

We drew 0-0 at home to Leeds when they had Brian Deane playing for them. Absolutely freezin, the game was utter garbage and only Deane rescued it with some of the worst forward play ever seen. Talk about a 50p 'ead.

So, so many. One that sticks out is 0-0 with West Ham, Easter 1999. Utter garbage from us, really summed up the post xmas malaise that season. It was a stupid time cos it was on telly as well. Sky must have booked it after a couple of the stormers we were involved in first half of the season

Blackburn last home game of the previous season was dull. Don't think Blackburn had a shot on target but won it thanks to an own goal by Richard Dunne.
