Your biggest let down as a Villa fan

[Damo70]

Staying up all night listening to 'tut wireless' when we lost to Dangermouse's mate 'Penfold' in December 1982. We would have been champions of the world.

Me and my brother did that as well.

I distinctly remember that whilst listening to George Gavin's commentary on BRMB I was calming my nerves by decorating the Christmas tree.

The appointment of McLeish was up there.  I kept thinking this won't happen not even we are stupid enough to make such a mistake.  Then the horrible horrible gut wrenching sense of helplessness when the announcement of his resignation came up on the sky sports news thingy.

I will see your McLeish  appointment disappointment and raise you Graham Turner 1984.

I think we've experienced more pain (in a how it could have been ) than any other team in English football.

Despite knowing within ten minutes we were going to get a hammering in 2015, I've never felt as bad after a match as I did after the 2000 Final and I doubt I ever will.

I think I mentioned earlier on here one of my worst moments was the 1980 quarter final at West Ham, but even though at my age (I'm 60 on Friday) and having supported The Villa for 50 years now, the FA Cup Final 2 years ago left me distraught.  The worst of it was the last 20 minutes or so was spent wishing the game to be over before it got any worse - thankfully although 4-0 was bad enough, we all know it could have been twice as bad.

2000 Cup final was the biggest let down for me.The whole day from the drive down to the drive home was just awful

Not winning the league under Big Ron
Chelsea and Arsenal cup finals
and getting relegated 15/16

[cheltenhamlion]

I was broken after the Arsenal cup final. So angry I couldn't face talking to anyone and couldn't even be arsed with drowning my sorrows. I sat in a hotel room and sulked like my two year old does when he gets told off.

[Exeter 77]

I felt far worse in 2000 than two years ago. I never felt we could beat Arsenal but against Chelsea it seemed like we didn't even try.

[olaftab]

The fact that we are not a top 6 competitive club which we should be in general but specifically League cup semi final knock out by Bradford and losing the FA cup to Millwall few days later has to be the lowest week ever.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Chelsea was bad but Arsenal was humiliating.

[robleflaneur]

Watching Villa slaughter QPR 5-2 towards the end of the 85 season with a young striker,Paul Rideout,and midfield genius ,Sid Cowans,in impressive form.I was very optimistic for the next season.

Then in the summer,Ellis sold them both to Bari.Cue the inevitable decline and relegation 2 years later.
An incomprehensible self inflicted wound.

My biggest let down was the 1971 league cup final beaten by lucky spurs and jammy chivers

The opposite of a let down, I've never felt prouder of my club than that day.
