On This Day
Villa are humiliated at home by Birmingham as their neighbours score for the first time at Villa Park since 1977 in a performance inspired by Des Bremner - one of the players sacrificed under the idiotic Ellis regime.
As a result Villa fall back to 20th in the table, in the relegation places and three points from safety.
Birmingham win despite sitting second from bottom in the table, five points behind Villa.
Graham Turnerโs ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Villa now have just ๐ฉ six wins in thirty three Division One games and ๐ฅ sixteen defeats.
Midfielder Andy Blair ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (36 Starts).

Mid Table
What they Said
"They made life very difficult for us but if you can't win those games you have to make sure you don't lose them.
โThe way we gave the goals was alarming to say the least.
โSome defeats are acceptable [!] but not the manner in which we lost on Saturday.
โIt was even harder for the supporters to take because we had played so well in beating West Ham in the previous match [Villaโs second win in seventeen].
โBirmingham deserve credit for being organised at the back, but the sad truth is that they attacked better than we did.
โWe are certainly not sitting back and doing nothing about our position.
โWe should never have got ourselves into this kind of trouble. But we are most definitely in trouble and the situation mush be rectified.
โThe team we have been rebuilding [discarding the European Cup winning team of four years previously] still need a chance to knit together [Graham Turner has now been in post for 20 months]

โHe [Des Bremnerโ] has to accept that he has gone this level."

โIโve got no hard feelings about leaving Villa now, although at the time I was a bit disappointed.โ
