TSM getting the job, beyond belief !!
Sir Brian Resigning, I blamed Deadly
Ron Saunders leaving, I blamed Deadly ( I know he was not in charge)
Big Ron Leaving, I blamed Deadly
Andy Gray leaving, thought about blaming Deadly
Keith Leonard, retiring early
Deadly not investing and pushing on at the onset of the Premier league.
Fuck nose Perryman clearing Locheads shot off the line in the 71 league cup final, I blame Deadly for not bribing the Spuds squad.
In fact a lot of my worst newsis attributal to Deadly !

Sorry, Being frivolous, Stan is obviously a very,"what is it all about moment" unfortunatly I guess that most of us either know or has cherished some one who has had or suffered from something like Stan is going through.
By the grace of God he seems to be recovering, our 19th min tribute as fans is something to be proud of as an expression of caring.

Without detracting from this I had forgotten the wanton destruction of the Trinity and the Heritage it stood for, we could have done many things and had many options  to preserve its almost Spiritual significance to Aston Villa. As before, the man to blame, Deadly !

For me in reverse order:

Mcleish being announced as Villa manager - knew this wouldnt end well.

Reading in the Evening Mail in 1993 in a small column that the Premier League trophy was being held at Old Trafford while Villa were still in the title race.

Most damaging of all - being at a happy jolly Christmas meal with my family, to sneak my phone out under the table during dessert to see we're 8-0 down. Words cant describe the pain - still felt today.

Surely has to be one of the worst decisions in the long history of the club.

[villalion]

Finding  out mcmuppet was going to be our manager, gutted

Bradford,Bradford and Millwall.

[Mortimer's Bear]

Hearing that potato head had scored in the 97th minute against Sheff Wednesday in 1993.

[peter w]

Giddie and Andy Gray going

Colin Gibson going

[Damo70]

Funny you should mention Colin Gibson going. That really got to me as a teenager. I think it was the first time I remember a player going to a better club with more ambition and signalled the end of the early eighties happy times.

[martin o`who??]

Saunders resignation.

[gervilla]

Sid leaving for Bari.
I was 10 and gutted.

[Grande Pablo]

Hearing that potato head had scored in the 97th minute against Sheff Wednesday in 1993.

I'd left VP, walked to the A34, got a bus & was at the Scott Arms when that went in. 

Seeing's JG's FA Cup final team.  Changed a winning line up for his old favourites - knew it wouldn't end well.

[Damo70]

Sid leaving for Bari.
I was 10 and gutted.

I was gutted when he 'left' for Napoli in 1983. As good as done and announced when they had a change at the top and it fell through. Cue the celebrations. Then weeks later he broke his leg.
