ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 1 April 2006
Villa make it four defeats in five as they are hammered at Highbury to leave them with just eight wins in thirty two Premier League games this season under David O'Leary.
Villa have now lost 16 of the last 37 Premier League matches under David O'Leary, winning 8.
Villa have taken 37 of the last 111 points available under David O’Leary.
David O’Leary however springs his own April Fool's joke as he claims that "our young players will learn from it [a 5-0 defeat]".
O'Leary fielded a first XI aged, 29, 26, 25, 21, 28, 32, 28, 21, 20, 31 and 28.
With O'Leary’s detachment from reality becoming ever more obvious the mutinous atmosphere amongst the away support is absolute and the concern within whose hands the club is in is now at a crisis point.
