2015 – has there ever been an Aston Villa year with so many lows, or even so many Villa managers?! Lambert, Sherwood, McDonald & Garde all brought their own versions of misery to Villa Park. Sticking out like diamonds in a compost heap, there have been the odd good moment though, including one of the best Villa games and wins in recent times.
What were your favourite Villa memories of the year? Please do share them in the comments section below. Roll on 2016, it’s certainly going to be eventful!
FIVE FAVOURITE VILLA MOMENTS OF 2015

Pride of the Midlands? With the likes of Leicester and Stoke impressing in the league and our current position, it seems difficult to claim the ‘Pride of the Midlands’ tag as ours this season. Tim Sherwood was almost annoyingly passionate about everything he did upon his arrival at Villa Park but to his credit, he grasped the pride at stake during a local derby.
Last minute penalties. Pitch invasions. The two home matches against West Brom in the 2014/15 season seemed to encapsulate a level of drama that had been absent from Villa Park in years.
One of Sherwood’s last games as Villa manager was a 1-0 home loss to the Baggies, but that shouldn’t undo the memories of the 2015 Baggies double.
