Unfortunately we really are spoilt for choice on this one and everyone will have their own "favourite" for want of a better word but for me the total break-down of relations between the players and fans towards the end of last season will take some beating.Most clubs have their ups and downs and shocking results/weeks/seasons but the hostility around VP towards the end of last season was both unique and scarring.

Although not season changing apart from the Liverpool home match last season the way we just layes down against  an city reserves in the cup. Would also mention Everton away when after a half decent performance against city in the league we were truly aweduk for the first time under garde

I've changed my mind and now nominate Millwall away in the cup in 2013.  Was on a work trip to India and, thanks to the time difference, I woke up to find out we'd been humiliated by both Bradford and Millwall within a couple of days of each other.  The Millwall one stands out as I had a chronic case of Delhi belly that Saturday morning (the game was played on a Friday night if I remember right) which was the icing on the cake.

The damage had been done in the first leg of the Bradford game but I still thought we'd turn it around.

Bradford for me

being unable to beat a fourth division side over two legs is the most embarrassing result in our history

the fact lambert kept his job is the second one

[russon]

here's the sorry story so far, it fair makes you think and shudder -

FA Cup final 2015
Chelsea 8-0
Kevin MacDonald’s team selections
Delph’s ‘loyalty’ film
Sacking two managers in one season
Liverpool 6-0
Not letting Garde buy in Jan transfer window
Tom Fox’s bluster
Relegation with just 16 points
Having to leave Villa Park before the final whistle cos could take no more
Gabby’s behaviour
And Lescot’s
Lack of support for ‘McLeish Out’ protest
Appointing a manager who’d just relegated Blues
Bradford
Orient
Being relegated without even a whimper
Secret Santa video
Wigan 3-0
Losing at home to Watford & Bournemouth
Southampton 6-1
Luton
Houllier at Anfield
McLeish fist pump v Bolton
Poisonous atmosphere at Villa Park
Millwall
Wycombe
Lambert’s entire tenure
Cup surrender v Man City’s reserves

...this exercise has been sobering indeed. We are owed massively by our club.

I forget the statistics but that goal drought - that was painful.

[brian green]

Yes and the Goal of the Month piss take that went with it.

[Legion]

The Month of the Goal.

I forget the statistics but that goal drought - that was painful.

Didn't Ronaldo score 20 goals before we eventually scored?

[The Edge]

Love him or hate him I think the day O'Neill left the club we were like the Titanic fatally holed below the water level and the inevitable sinking of our club was a slow,chaotic, painful experience. All the painful moments have already been picked out but I think Jon Croft summed things up brilliantly when he labelled the Lerner/Fox/Lambert regime as "the axis of stupidity." Reminds me of Lamberts mumblings "I thought we were excellent today" when some crap club had just had our pants down. But...... thanks to Dr Tony I believe we are on our way back and good times lie ahead down in B6.

Didn't Ronaldo score 20 goals before we eventually scored?

And didn't Barcelona win 5 trophies in the time it took us to win 5 games?

I forget the statistics but that goal drought - that was painful.

570 minutes without a goal, we almost made it to the 10 hours.

Edit : It was actually 662 minutes without a league goal, 20th December until 7th February.

[aj2k77]

Another ''laughable'' phase of our decline that I remember is when during a period of 10 games or so under Lambert didn't we manage to get players sent off in something like 4 of the games. We were just spiraling out of control.

[VillaAlways]

The news that the  Upper Trinity would be closing and staff redundancies.

[Malandro]

And the corners, my god. We did look like conceding at any set piece.
