ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 December 1999
Villa’s lose at home to Newcastle to extend their winless Premier League run to 9 games under John Gregory as reports suggest the manager faces a very uncertain future if you believe the rumblings from the Chairman.
George Boateng collects his 5th booking in a Villa shirt on his 18th appearance (15 Starts) to make it W8 D4 L6, 1 Goal and 5 Bookings at a rate of a card every 3.60 games so far in his Villa career.
