1999–2000 Aston Villa F.C. season

The 1999Ã¢ÂÂ2000 English football season was Aston Villa's 8th season in the Premier League and their 12th consecutive season in the top division of English football.

Aston Villa matched their previous season's solid sixth-place finish. After starting the campaign brightly a run of nine matches without a win dragged Villa down to 15th. However, after that Villa rallied to go 12 matches unbeaten, and thereafter lost only two more games all season to finish sixth. Villa also reached the FA Cup final for the first time in 43 years, but their hopes of winning the famous trophy for the eighth time were ended by a 1Ã¢ÂÂ0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea, whose success was achieved in the last game at Wembley before the old stadium was rebuilt.

The season saw debuts for George Boateng (103), David James (67), Peter Enckelman (52), Benito Carbone (24), Najwan Ghrayib (5), and Neil Cutler (1).
