ON THIS DAY
Villa had now lost 16 of the last 37 Premier League matches under David O'Leary winning just 8 and taking just 37 of the 111 points available. The Villa boss however sprung his own April Fool's joke however, once again claiming that "our young players will learn from it [a 5-0 defeat]". O'Leary fielded a team aged, 29, 26, 25, 21, 28, 32, 28, 21, 20, 31 and 28. With his detachment from reality becoming ever more obvious the mutinous atmosphere amongst the away support was absolute and the concern within whose hands the club was in met crisis point.
