    So I just popped over to the Arsenal board, saw this topic, and thought I may as well steal it and use it here, because we have had such an interesting season. Here's mine:

    Best Player - Juan Mata
    Worst Player - Tough one actually. Bitterly disappointed with Marin, but the worst player that I have seen on the field is surely Ross Turnbull. I don't think anyone else has been that bad to be honest.
    Best win - For me, just out of pure excitement, was that Europa League win. Ivanovic in the last minute just made for such a brilliant climax to a tough season.
    Best all round team performance - Second half at Old Trafford in the FA Cup. Should have put the tie to bed there to be honest.
    Best Young player - It has to be Eden Hazard, but if you want a less established player, then Ake is the only option since Piazon was loaned.
    Worst result - Dead heat; Chelsea 2 - Man United 3 or Chelsea 0 - QPR 1. Both pretty bad.
    Our goal of the season - Oscar vs Juventus hands down for me.
    Toughest Team we faced - Juventus
    Most impressive opposition player - Andreas Pirlo.

    Edit - Most Improved - David Luiz, though I think Romelu Lukaku at WBA (I know, doesn't exactly count) deserves an honourable mention.

    Good call Varier, hard to argue with those choices.I would add MOST IMPROVED David Luiz to your list.
    Also think Marin shouldn't be judged as a dud just yet. He had a terrible time with injuries and never got a chance to run himself into form. He could come good this season.

    Exactly, hence why I opted for Ross. No doubt Marko is a talented lad.

    Good call on the most improved. Might just edit that in.

    For me Atletico were most impressive team and Falcao obviously best player, noone has done that to us before

    Young player could also have Oscar mentioned, great year for a guy in a new continent with no rest through the summer

    Best result has to be 8-0 v Villa, football was free flowing

    Yep I agree on most parts... Honourable mentions for best game: Leeds away... To beat your rivals that you haven't played for ages like that was special. And to be there was incredible. Spurs away 4-2 was incredible. And Villa when Lamps got the record. Also gotta mention the 8-0 at home to Villa! Poor Villa...

    Worst Result... For me it's either the loss at home to QPR, the loss at Southampton, the loss at West Ham but mainly the loss at Steaua Bucuresti. One of the worst Chelsea performances I've ever watched. We were useless.

    Most impressive opposition player... I know I shouldn't but Adebayor was outstanding at the Bridge. His goal against us was sublime and he set up the second. Was very very good for the Spuds. Also Falcao in the Super cup who ripped us to pieces.

    Best Player - Juan Mata

    Worst Player - Benyoun by a long distance. Most disappointing was Ramires.

    Best win - Spuds away start of season. Also enjoyed beating Arsenal. But yeah Europa League Final.

    Best all round team performance - Got to agree with you, 2nd half Old Trafford.

    Best Young player - Lukaku. For us I'd go for Hazard.

    Worst result - Shaktar 0-1 Juve. For us it'd have to be either West Ham away or United home 2-3.

    Our goal of the season - Cahill v Spurs or Oscar v Juve

    Toughest Team we faced - Atletico Madrid or Juve

    Most impressive opposition player - probably Adebayor <laugh>. Ferdnandinho too, he was top draw in Donetsk. But Falcao takes the title for me.

    Most Improved - Mata? He was class last season but absolutely stunning this season. Luiz up there too.
