If you could go back to change a result....

I'd rather change one of the RS's, in particular the 2005 Champs League final against Milan.

An own goal in injury time for Milan to make it 4 - 3.

They would never have got over it

....would have to be the Man Utd FA Cup Final in 85. So superior to them, even a draw would have seen us win the treble via a replay.

Kiev away
Wigan QF
Liverpool SF - that killed me
09 cup final
Villarreal

That's the recent ones

3 Aston Villa League Cup Finals. RS (Clive Thomas) semi-final.
Wigan quarter final.

Surely you'd have changed the Villa League Cup final in 77 so we'd have won it, and lifted the cup, at Wembley! Meaning the two replays weren't necessary and you'd have an extra two games of your choosing to change the result of!

 

[Groucho]

Those two games v Carlisle in the 73/74 season. We'd have won the league.

The 2009 cup final.

The 1985 cup final.

The tribunal's decision to ban English clubs from Europe, but failing that, the home Villareal match 2005.

Extra 15 points last season would've got us the title, like... could've reversed that result against the sh*te and all.

I like your thinking a lot.

Villareal. The group stage money and prestige would have changed our fortunes after that big time. I'd love to say '09 FA cup, but I tend to lean more towards the group who thinks CL football is more important than a trophy, unless it's the title. But that's me.

I agree all 5 matches were soul destroying losses at the time. But with hindsight, what would be the benefit of us winning some of them anyway? Obviously, the Villarreal one meant we'd have got into the CL groups and got loads of cash, and the 09 FA Cup final would have given us a trophy, but the other 3 may have been meaningless anyway.

Kiev away would only put us in the QF with another 4 matches before you even play in the final. I totally lost interest as soon as we got knocked out, so not even sure who we'd have played in the QF. Would we have even for to the semi?

Wigan QF - if I remember rightly we'd have been drawn against Chelsea in the semi. No guarantee of even making the final, let alone winning it.

Liverpool SF - we'd have played Chelsea in the final so not an easy game at all.

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

I'd change Liverpool's semi final in the 85 European Cup to a defeat.

This. This is the only result I would change given the opportunity.

 

[blue4eva77]

We'd have got utterly smashed in the Champs League group stages.

We didn't do too badly against Villarreal who later on got to the semi-finals.

 

[Hibbertinho]

I like your thinking a lot.

Sorry, meant '13/14... 15 points extra in the season just gone would've seen us eclipse the titans of Stoke and Crystal Palace.
