Tough call. 3-0 away at Villa was the first match I almost walked out of

It was men vs boys and we weren't the men.

Many games at Selhurst Park. Utter s**thole. Don't think I ever saw us win there, and I went a fair bit. Obviously Craven Cottage over the years has not been a great venue for us(!) but somehow that doesn't feel as dire. Loftus Road is a dump and the Babylon always massively over-police it for no reason I could ever discern. Hate Molyneux and don't suppose I shall ever go back to it even if I can start to do away games again (which might happen in a few years depending on personal circs). Conversely the Hawthorns which is very close by is one of my favourites. In general I had a preference for trips up north over trips to the south of the country (was living in Berkshire at the time).
