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.

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.

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.

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.
