I'll just say that as a fan and attendee since 1988, when you consider the competition these days, when you consider what we're battling against with these bullshit rules and when you consider how last season ended, this is the best season I've seen. Also factor in the bad luck with injuries mid season. A major trophy, 4th in the league after finishing in style today, no doubt about it. Emery is the best manager we've had in that time and the owners are in a total different league to any we've had in those near 40 years. Well done to all involved, some of those players are all time legends of the club.

Tremendous season.

[Smirker]

Just found out we have the longest winning run of any team this season - 8 matches

Probably got the best goal of the season shortlist as well.

Sums it all up for me, been a fan since 1988 too.

I think it was a shit season. Chance of winning the league and we bottled it.

We did have a chance yes. Wasn't a bottle though.

I was joking. It was a fucking brilliant season.

Hopefully we'll find out next season what we can do if we don't start the season like we've never trained together before and then lose our midfielders for yonks.

A magical,historic but weird season.Up there with 77,81 and 82.
Watkins' form mirrored the season.
Ollie's poor start and then not fully fit but produced his best in a Villa shirt in a final flourish.
Dreadful start,fantastic recovery where we were possibly the best team in the league.Then the midfield got decimated and Fortress Villa fell to Brentford and Everton and only a point v Leeds.
Balancing the demands of the League and the Europa meant a few mediocre performances towards the end.
But look at what they achieved,17 goals v 2 in the Europa knockout stages and beat at least once the other top 8 finishers.
A seriously,talented,underrated team coached by the great Unai Emery.

Well the chance to win the league thing is definitely true.

10/10

Won European trophy, looked like title contenders for long chunks of the season, qualified for the CL twice over.

[PeterWithesShin]

As fun as it was at the time I don't think we were. Losing the midfielders at the same was horrendous but I still don't think we had enough depth to win it even if we'd had a more normal injury run.

Rating: FUCKING BRILLIANT.

A- and the minus is only because I don’t think we’ve reached our peak.

Can’t remember another season that’s had so many enjoyable moments. Buendia’s last minute winner and limbs against Arsenal, Rogers’ double against Man U, the Buendia Spurs goal, the crazy last few minutes against Sunderland and Abraham’s winner, McGinn’s quick fire double against Forest and the atmosphere almost blowing the roof off. It’s been loads of fun.
