ON THIS DAY
Friday, 1 January 1932
  • Villa and Newcastle are forced to play their second game in command a day before the regular season fixtures as the intrasigence and incompetence of the League is laid bare.

  • Unsurprisingly amidst a run of 5 games in 8 days - entirely at the whim of the League both Newcastle and Villa have been significantly disadvantaged.

  • The honours go to Newcastle following their defeat at Villa three days previously.

  • Villa are selected to play away from home on New Years Day for the 16th time in the 17 fixtures they have played on 1st January.

  • Villa had played their first New Years Day fixture in January 1891 and have now played just one home game on 1st January in 41 years.

  • Villa lose for the 13th time in 17 New Years Day fixtures

  • Joe Beresford scores his fourth in as many games but Villa are beaten at St James'.

  • Villa make it four clean sheets in 22 games so far in 1931-32

  • Villa make it eleven wins, four draws and seven defeats in twenty two division one games this season.

  • Villa tumble back to joint 5th but still have a game in hand on some around them including Albion and Sheffield United.

  • Up next for Villa are struggling Leicester City at Filbert Street.
