Aston Villa comebacks
« on: January 29, 2012, 07:29:46 PM »
0-2 down at H-T against Arsenal only to win 3-2 (the 'Santa' fixture).

Didn't we also beat Spurs 4-2 after being 0-2 down?

2-0 down at home to Blackburn in the league cup, won 6-4. That night seems a lifetime ago now.

Nice thread, wrong time. 

On nights like tonight all I can think about are the times when we've fucked it up.

Coming from 2 down to relegate Coventry was a brilliant afternoon's entertainment.

This is really the wrong thread but this was the undisputed high point of the MON era. The slide from then on happened frighteningly quickly.

Just to go against the grain of misery a bit more does anyone remember being two down to Wolves in the League cup (1983 ish) and coming back to win 3-2. I think Andy Gray tried to break sir Dennis' leg and got sent off. That may have been the beginning of the slide for them. I can't remember whether Tony Morley or Steve Hunt got the winner. Doesn't seem 30 years ago though.

Spurs 2-0

Spurs 2 - Villa 5.

In the 'official records of Aston Villa' they published the ten greatest matches Villa were involved in.

One being four nil down to Liverpool in about the 66th minute. We proceeded to come back to draw 4-4 and a Villa player missed a great chance to win it.
