    I won't do mine yet as I want to see how we do in the fa cup first.

    But one highlight for me has been ozil. I'm very happy we have brought him into the squad. He has had a good first season and it's nice to have a truly world class player in the team. The last player of his level we had was fabregas. Some of his touches and passing are an absolute joy to watch and he is definitely one of my highlights this season.

    I agree with Piskie for once, 6? If we win the cup, that's a ****ing 7.5 at least, could make a case for 8. I said COULD, OXO should be the lawyer for that.

    Best Player - Aaron Ramsey
    Best win - Beating Spurs in FA Cup and at their own ground in EPL
    Best all round team performance - Beating Liverpool in league at home and in FA Cup.
    Best Young player - the OX.
    Worst result and performance - Liverpool away [naive start] , Chelsea away [no tactics], Everton away [no spirit].
    Our goal of the season - SJW or Rosicky
    The toughest team we faced: Chelsea
    Most improved player: Aaron Ramsey
    Most impressive opposition player: Suerez

    And finally rate our season out of ten - 7/10 if we win cup then 8/10
    if we had bought players in January and beaten Manure like everyone else managed to then we would have been going into the last game of season with chance of league title.

    If we win the cup, I would increase it to 7, but no way it should be higher than that. The thrashings we took from some of the top teams was too much of an embarrassment. Also, I do not think the football we played this season has been that great to watch, in terms of entertainment. It's been effective against the smaller teams, but not as good as the football we have played in the past.

    Best Player - Laurent Koscielny
    Best win - Liverpool in the cup, 1 week after we got battered by them, we responded well
    Best all round team performance - Dortmund away, held on against a far superior side
    Best Young player - Wojcech Szczesny, he's still young, so he counts
    Worst result and performance - Everton away, we were awful, and it looked like we'd blown the top 4
    Our goal of the season - JW's effort against Norwich, lovely team play to set it up
    The toughest team we faced: Chelsea at the Bridge
    Most improved player: Rambo
    Most impressive opposition player: David Silva

    And finally rate our season out of ten - 2/10 if we lose the final, 8/10 if we win. The collapse wasn't great, but possibly ending our trophy drought would be a great end to an OK season

    Best Player - Per Mertesacker
    Best win - Liverpool in the league
    Best all round team performance - Napoli at home
    Best Young player - Serge Gnabry
    Worst result and performance - Stoke away
    Our goal of the season - Ozil vs Napoli
    The toughest team we faced: Everton away
    Most improved player: Ramsey
    Most impressive opposition player: Mirallas

    And finally rate our season out of ten - For a club like ours then the best of the best (a 10 out of 10) would equate to something like a '99 quadruple'.

    The worst we could every really expect in our current standings (a 0 out of 10) would be mid-table mediocrity.

    So without an FA cup i'd put us at a 5/10. With an FA cup maybe a 6.5/10 or 7/10.

    For perhaps the first time ever, I can find absolutely no fault in what Han has written!

    2/10 after securing yet another CL spot ?
    An FA Cup win doesn't move us up 6 points for me....

    I gave it that score, because if the long term psychological impact it may have on the team, they wouldn't be a bunch of gutless losers anymore, the ending of the drought could maybe help instill a winning mentality.

    I'm not normally that down on things, but I think I would be pretty pissed off if we lose the Cup at this point. Maybe even 6 points pissed off, although I'm not sure exactly what that is.

    Beating the Spuds three times was good fun.

    Seeing them lose three times to West Ham was hilarious.

    I can understand them losing to us three times but I didn't know they lost to West Ham three times too. Man that is a shocking record.
