Fortress Villa Park

[montague]

Feels a bit like 76-77 when we dropped very few points at home and handed out several tonkings

[Footy-Vill]

I predict this season Emery's Villa will match or break our top flight and Premier League record for biggest win 7-1

I can totally see us scoring 7+ goals in a match

Biggest Wins at Villa Park
1959 v Charlton Athletic 11-1! Second Division
1995 Wimbledon 7-1 Premier League
1952 Chelsea FC   7-1 First Division (top flight)

We'll be in 7th Heaven!
Up the Villa!

My birthday is in late Feb and was just after the Arsenal game.  Therefore, we have won every home league game while i've been 42 and I'm 43 in a few months.

[Aldridge Villa]

A few months being a third of the year but fingers crossed we remain unbeaten.

Wouldn't that make it 8th or 9th heaven?

If we've not lost a home game whilst you're 42, I think that probably means you've got to promise never to have a birthday again.

Win today at Villa Park and equals record since 1983 where we won 13 consecutive league games.
This season at the fortress: 6 shots a game at home. And  6.8 shots on target per game at Villa Park. 3+ goals a game.
20 goals Scored. 4 conceded!
Vamos Villa!

Last time we won 13 at home in a row was 1983 (year I was born).

We haven't won 14 home games in a row since 1933 and have never  won 15 home games in a row.

A pity it's Man Sheikhy and then the Arse next.

A pity it's Man Sheikhy and then the Arse next.

Or it'll make it even sweeter when we break the record, send them both packing with their tails between their legs and top the table.

[Baldy]

Havn't seen Unai post match interview for the Fulham game but in every other game he mentions the villa fans in his very first sentence and the 'connection' with the players.

Worth an extra player in every match. For those who can go, pat yourselves on the back. Certainly helps Villa Park become a fortress. Much appreciated from afar.

Not sure about which CiŁy will turn up as they are getting into thier groove again seemingly - i actually fancy us to do Arsenal as we will have a lot of memories from last season and i dont think they are any better than they were

If only our home games counted, we'd still be ninth in the league and would have scored more goals than anyone in the league from West Ham down.

Just as it is becoming that fortress, one end of the ground is going to be gone for two years and the atmosphere will be strange as a result.

Wish we'd had a crystal ball and done it as soon as we went down into the Championship.  Would have been a massive call to increase capacity after a relegation and doubt the money would have been there then, but with hindsight, those first two years would have been an ideal time to do it.  It would have been ready for the promotion surge the following season and the return to the top flight.
