A for me, which is already brilliant, reflecting our joint highest league finish under Unai plus a trophy and the general flourish at the end.

Although the January injury glut was outside of our control, as well as (broadly) the financial restrictions, there were a few too many troughs in there for an A+ (the dreadful start, the poor recruitment, which compounded the restrictions). A+ would have had us on the shoulders of the leaders in third, for me.

But I think we’ll get there.

UTV!

10/10. Maybe 11/10 if you take into account we lost our midfield for a big chunk of it. I think if we started the season like we finished it and we didn’t lose those key players we might have done a double.

We’ve made progress and people are beginning to notice.

I'm assuming we are not having an official awards night this year?

If we had not made a crap start and not lost 3 key midfielders for 3 months later in the season we would have won the League.

Contrast the devastating way we ended last season in Manchester to this. The difference couldn’t be greater. The mood so much better and optimistic for the future.

"Fantastic". Which is better than "Terrific", and much better than "We go again" or "A good bunch of lads".

It has been a strange season. At times we looked untouchable, at times we put in performances that were woeful. We sarcastically cheered someone who made a successful pass who went on to win Europa player of the year and is off to the WC. We scored a number of breathtaking goals and had spells where we looked incapable of even having a shot on target again. Spells where we never looked like dropping a point and spells where we never looked like winning again.
