Aside from the ones already mentioned, Benteke's equaliser vs Liverpool. When we went one down you got the feeling that it was going to be one of those days but equalising so quickly was pivotal.

The penalty vs West Brom.

Benteke vs MU.

Gabby's biceps vs West Brom.

That penalty.

Pretty simple one for me.

He took it very well. But then I will always wonder why Barry didn't step up.

The away game against Man City

The finest performance of the season even though we lost
Playing the then reigning champions off the park with some splendid football, free, easy, passing possession football,
I didn't think it was possible to do that, and that is the day I realised Sherwood is the real deal, a miracle man,  65% possession at the Emerates unbelievable

Only losing out in the end to a proper howler from the goalie, but the rest was the stuff to make you proud again

The moment of the season will be the 89th minute on May 30th with Grealish going on a run where he beats 3 defenders, rounds the keeper & slots the ball into an empty net. His first goal for us & we lift the cup a few minutes later. Who the fuck is Ricky Villa?

Makes me wanna cry.

I sometimes read other clubs forums before and after the match, just to get a feel. Anyway what impressed me was that we were the first team in 6 years to have more possession than them in the premier league. I got a glow from that

Quite simply the appointment of Tim Sherwood.

Look, it might not last, he might turn out to be the crap manager everyone told us he was when he signed, but for this season, when all seemed fucked, he has turned a team looking bereft of any confidence whatsoever into one full of swagger. We could beat anyone right now, and it's all down to whatever Sherwood is doing on the training ground and in the dressing room, he believes and therefore so do the players.

Nearly everything has been covered in this thread, I am going to add two though;
- Joe Cole & Senderos walking across the pitch at half time on Saturday applauding the years RIP's - I know its only common decency but I got a warm glow from it.
- Whoever decided it was a good idea to parade Gobbie Cabbage in front of the Villa fans at Wembley - inspired, turned the notch up another level :-)

The Hull defeat. We were so utterly bad that night, something had to give and thankfully it finally did.

Stringing those fifty one passes together. It was wonderful to watch.
