ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 3 March 1984
  • Villa are taken apart at Villa Park with Manchester United scoring three, one via Bryan Robson's hand, but survive numerous scares to keep the scoreline down as tempers flare in the stands and Villa fall back to 9th in the table.

  • Tony Barton's Villa's season continues with its inconsistency being its only consistency as a strong win is followed by a heavy defeat once again. Villa fail to score for the second time in five games and seventh time this season as they make it eleven wins, eight draws and ten defeats in twenty nine League games this season.
