7-1 at Chelsea wasn't too good.

Thanks for reminding me.

There was an attempted captulation in the game following the 4-3 at Wimbledon where we coughed up a 3-0 lead at Spurs before winning in the last minute. Who took charge of that game? Was it Jim Walker? And has any other team had back to back 4-3 scorelines I wonder?

I believe it was Jim Barren's only game in charge.

This 1-5 mauling at home to Citeh - see our defence was crap then too.  Amazing coz of one man (Dr Jo) how we had become so inept at the back overnight.

I was there for that Leicester one, 4-1 up with 15 minutes left we were stroking it about, we were giving it the big Ole for about 5 minutes, Tommy Johnson hit the bar which would have made it 5 and we completely fell apart to a Mark Draper inspired comeback.  From recollection the season then fell apart and we only stayed up because we got a jammy 1-0 in the last minute at Ipswich.

I remember watching the Wimbledon 4-3 defeat on Ceefax, I think it was the first time I uttered those immortal words "Typical fucking Villa" which I've rarely not made use of since at least 3 or 4 times a season.

The Spurs 4-4 was another miserable night and I broke my small portable radio as I threw it across the room when Spurs nicked there equaliser.

There must be other clubs who this happens to, mustn't there?

However sometimes we do it in reverse.  A particularly sweet one was a 2-2 against Everton in 90/91 when we were 2-0 down with 10 minutes left and nicked the draw with an Ian Olney injury time header.  Neville Southall was furious which made it all the sweeter as the scruffy fucker had wasted about 10 minutes of the second half with his goal kicks.

The Leicester game was a fucker. And that Everton match had goals from Robert Warzycha if I remember correctly.

I was at both and i won't go on about the Leicester one, the Everton game was daylight robbery... we were awful and somehow managed a draw!

I believe a certain bespectacled man was in charge of Leicester that night.
