1998/99 Season: Villa 1 Coventry 4Incredible start to the season, I think we were top or second at Christmas. Then we got knocked out the FA Cup by Fulham (another one for the shortlist), and then embarked on a dismal run where we didn't win for 11 games (basically the whole of February and March).This was the grimmest, and the worst I've ever felt coming out of a game. We've had worse losses before and since, but I was still relatively young and optimistic about Villa then, and it completely destroyed the last vestiges of hope that we would challenge that season.
8-0 at Chelsea. Was with Chico and Pat I think. £50 for a ticket and I was a poor student at the time. We left at 5-0 and it was 8-0 by the time we got back to the pub at Parsons Green. I was on here furiously posting that I wanted a refund haha.

At first I politely pointed out that he was out of line. He replied that I 'wasn't in England anymore' and to 'sue him'. So I pelted him with ice cubes until he complained to staff.Funnily enough I saw him in another pub about half a year later, and a few mates and I decided to throw ice cubes at him again. Until he left. Childish, but highly satisfying.

Fucked off to the bar at 4 nil and when it got to 7 nil pissed off to ONeills then to tje slug and lettuce where I was kicked out for wearing jeans. Then saw the first Hobbit film for the third time and devoured an entire large bag of popcorn before daring to find out the score. We were gash back then Thats a hell of a night out
