A team starts poorly, and we wonder if our record will be broken - it won't, not in our lifetime, maybe even your children's lifetime. @Red_Dawn may not be entirely accurate calling us the worst team in history, but he's not far off. Everyone focuses on the points tally, but there are two others that take some beating. Fewest Wins in a season: 1, joint record - Loughborough, Second Division (1899-1900), Derby County, Premier League (2007-08). Consecutive Games Without a Win: 38 - Derby County (22 September 2007 - 13 September 2008). 357 days without a win. Think about that. Thinking It's like the pub team that loses close to or by double figures every week, now and again the odd 1 or 2 close one makes it seem not so bad, when ultimately it's still feckin atrocious. We really were "conditioned" to failure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Love the way that Lescott tried to deflect from the car tweet by suggesting that people should focus on the facts that: they hadn't been as good as Liverpool; and that they hadn't tried!

The 1 win in a season looks like about a 1 in 100 year occurrence so I'll be long dead and gone before that one's likely to be emulated. As for the other - truly shocking. Even teams like Blackpool and pompey when starting seasons with about 3 players have not done as badly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 At least we were a flukey championship team who went up and failed. and to be honest, at the start of the season we drew a few games we could well have won, and the pastings weren't all the time and perhaps 2 genuinely top flight quality players might have made a difference. We'd still have gone down but might have made a better fist of it. Villa have declined to this whilst being a long term Premier League club. We had a terrible experience under Davros then P-star but it was an exception. for Villa, this is almost normal. I can live with whats happened, it's all part of our club. All those who lived through it will look back and say we've seen it all. When we get back to the top flight and become a respectable top flight outfit, it'll be all the more enjoyable. I also have a theory, Villa's training ground is next to a former landfill, perhaps there has been some sort of terrible mix up and a creative fluid top flight football team has been thrown down there whilst refuse has been training and playing for villa......? to the north of the training ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 Ram Raider Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 They certainly do have a worse training ground than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 This Villa team would have put 2 or 3 past Clod, Eddie Lewis and co. Comfortable win. Derby 07/08 was utterly utterly utterly utterly useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
