If they do this for the next decade then I would be ecstatic - FA Cup next season please
It is all about winning stuff

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.

On that basis it’s a solid A with an expectation of A+ next season.

Trophy wise and joy 10/10 , performances across the board 7 edging on 7.5.

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.

Also, if we get the transfer window right, it could be an amazing season.

10/10

4th in a league where 6 teams have had years to build an insurmountable advantage, won our first trophy in 30 years and a 2nd European one at that, anything but a 10/10 | 5* | A+ feels like people are just being picky for no reason. Add in all the injury problems that left us without a functioning midfield for a couple of months and the restrictions that had us operating in the market with one hand behind our back and it's clear that Emery has performed miracles this season. The best bit is it feels like there's plenty more to come. We do need to bulk out the squad and start building towards the next team to phase in as this lot age out but I think we've got a few years to get everything sorted so I'm not worried on that front.

Best I can remember (1987/88 onwards), prefer it to both '94 and '96 as those trophies came with 6 weeks of the season left and they ended on a bit of a flat note whereas this was anything but.  Forest semi was the greatest game I've been at since Tranmere, possibly even better, ask me again in a decade.

Normally look forward to a couple of months off around this time of year but lets get our holidays out the way, get a few new faces in and kick on again in August.

Started shit, got better, then shit again then better, then shit. Then nuclear levels of awesomeness.

Superb A+++

I'm not going to get to over the top, suffice as to say, bloody excellent season, just a feeling that we are on the cusp of even better, a real world greatness, up with the very elite best in world football, Man City will need time to get over the Pep hangover, couple of seasons at least, Chelsea have got massive problems, can't see Carrick being that much for Man Utd, and Liverpool seriously need a manager, as for Arsenal who cares, boring...and then of course Spurs, main reason I wanted to see them down is because they will now spend shit loads to make sure they are back up there and this season isn't repeated.

Hang on, you seem to be forgetting how seamlessly Man Utd carried on after the red faced man who called himself a socialist but then took a knighthood left.

I like this post a lot.

Going into next season, we might look like genuine title contenders.

A strange strange season - huge periods that were not enjoyable.  Some awful awful performances.  A few times when I thought this was the end - another what if in Villas recent history.

But we found something - something that we had been missing for a while - an absolute iron will. 

This was the season I realised that McGinn will be spoken of in the same sentence as God. 

This was the season I admitted to myself  Ollie Watkins is the best Villa striker I have ever seen.

This was the season that confirmed that Unai is the best Villa manager of my life time

This was the season that reminded me that Emi is the best goalkeeper that has ever played for Villa

What we achieved this season should have been borderline impossible.  For me - it all changed in the home leg v forest - that was different.  There was not a player, staff member or fan that was leaving until the job was done.  40k people united in the believe that we were going to take what was rightfully ours. 

Finishing 4th with a negative net spend was an unreal achievement - that same core group of players producing more magic orchestrated by the genius.

Waking up the night after the final with a smile on my face and a head that pleasantly hurt when I tried to remember the faces of all the strangers I had hugged was one of the best feelings of my life.

In short - this was the best season of my life. 

But - it was also the season that made me hope that maybe, just maybe Villas future might be brighter than it’s past.

Never would have believed it would turn out like this after the start of the season. So 10/10.
