An interesting concept I’ve never thought about. I’ve got the raw data to do the Villa number crunching. Note that we match the overall stat that 1-1 as the most likely outcome (the Gregory years would probably account for a good number of these!). However, our next popular score is 2-1, but on the overall list the second popular is Small Heath being bent over 0-1.
I have the following Villa scorelines/frequencies:
1-0 - 373 times
2-0 - 306 times
2-1 - 377 times
3-0 - 177 times
3-1 - 202 times

Spent 5 minutes looking for Preston v Hyde United before I realised it's only league games.

Twelve 6-0 wins for us, I was at the Oldham away in 71/72.
Anybody on here who can claim the 5-5 at Spurs ?

[Dave P]

Won 12-2 more than anyone.  You'll never sing that!
