Team of the season: Man Utd

Goal of the season: Van Persie against Villa

Achievement of the season: Bradford getting to the league cup final

Match of the season:

Moment of the season: For me personally it was Hull going up but Fergie's reception yesterday was pretty special in fact this past weekend was pretty good with everything at Old Trafford , the FA Cup final , Petrov getting a lap of honour after Villa fans cheered him all season during the 19th minute. The end of Watford-Leicester. Moyes getting a good send off too. Even Lampard breaking the record.

Match of the season: Reading vs. Arsenal, League Cup - Pure entertainment

Moment of the season: Ben Watson's header in the FA Cup final

Biggest surprise of the season: Wigan beating Man City in the FA Cup Final

Team of the season: Swansea

Goal of the season: Matt Lowton vs Stoke

Achievement of the season: Wigan winning the FA Cup

Match of the season: Reading vs Arsenal in the League Cup, like JP said it was just brainless fun.

Moment of the season: Toss-up between Bale's ridiculous last minute winner against West Ham, and Ferdinand's goal yesterday providing a fitting end to Ferguson's Old Trafford reign. It was the sort of goal you would want to end on.

Biggest surprise of the season: Barcelona getting pied home and away by Bayern in the Champions League semis.

Best signing of the season: Christian Benteke

Worst signing of the season: The triumvirate of shite at City - Sinclair, Rodwell and Garcia.

Most improved player: Carl Jenkinson. There are loads of players who have improved and are better than him - at Spurs alone I'd cite Lennon, Sandro and Dawson - but Jenkinson has gone from literally one of the worst players I've ever seen at this level to a reasonable, solid player. He's gone from a 2/10 to a 6/10.

Best signing of the season: Michu

Worst signing of the season: Fabio Borini

Most improved player: Rafael

Worst signing of the season: Rodwell/Sinclair

[JP]

How does Wigan being relegated tarnish winning the FA Cup for fuck sake?

[turdpower]

How doesn't it?

[Peter Griffin]

Because the FA cup has got fuck all to do with the premier league, completely separate competition.

[turdpower]

Well, teams could go ALL out for the FA Cup and win it and finish rock bottom of the league every year.

That wouldn't be considered an "achievement" looking at the "season" all things considered.

[JP]

:lol:

You've lost it mate, gone completely mental.

You enjoy your ivory tower while you can. ;)

[Mik]

Of course relegation tarnishes an FA Cup win.

[turdpower]

OK I change my answer:

Achievement of the season: Wigan becoming the first team to win the FA Cup and be relegated in the same season.

[turdpower]

Of course relegation tarnishes an FA Cup win.

Aye.

If Man United win the Champions League next season and get relegated. I'd say that might tarnish the celebrations a bit.

[JP]

Of course relegation tarnishes an FA Cup win.

Seriously, how? Just how?

Two different competitions. That's like saying O'Sullivan coming bottom of the Snooker Premier League tarnishes his World Championship victory. Mental.

[Mik]

You go and say to the Wigan fans 'Would you take winning the FA cup, if it meant getting relegated' and then go to them and say 'would you take winning the FA cup and staying up' and see what disparate responses you get.

[turdpower]

No it isn't. These are two co-current competitions for starters. But the snooker premier league doesn't have relegation and it also isn't the main competition.

Look at it conversely. If Ronnie wins the Premier League Snooker but gets knocked out in the first round of the Worlds, does that tarnish his PL win? Yes.

[JP]

You go and say to the Wigan fans 'Would you take winning the FA cup, if it meant getting relegated' and then go to them and say 'would you take winning the FA cup and staying up' and see what disparate responses you get.

Wrong question to ask.

The question is would you prefer to win the final and be relegated or lose the final and stay up. I can promise you that only a small minority of Wigan fans would take the survival option. We got saddled with the same stuff after winning the League Cup and being relegated. Relegation happens, especially for teams of our size. Winning things is a rarity, but the joy of winning easily eclipses to pain of relegation.

10 years from now people will struggle to remember which three teams got relegated in this season. They'll name the FA Cup winners in an instant.

[Mik]

No they wont.

Furthermore if Wigan dont come back up again in 10 years time ultimately they will have suffered for their FA cup triumph. And I'd say that more than a small minority would've taken survival over the cup win.

Remember, the question here is not does relegation completely negate the cup win, its does it tarnish it somewhat? And it does.

[turdpower]

"Tarnished slightly" were the actual words.

[MMH]

In the past they would have, Nowadays im not so sure. They have fucked with the tradition of the FA cup final so much that it means nothing other than to the team who wins it, and even then not so much.

Wigan will be remembered as the team who won the cup and got relegated though i suppose.

I dont know why you are arguing with turdy anyway, he seems to think Swansea won it...

[turdpower]

You bastard.

I won't edit it.

[MMH]

You bastard.

I won't edit it.

Even if you did I would just edit it back...

[The Rosk]

Player of the season: Gareth Bale

Manager of the season: Alex Ferguson, for winning the league comfortably with no wingers and an average defence.

Team of the season: Swansea City

Goal of the season: Lowton vs Stoke

Achievement of the season: Bradford run in the cup was very impressive.

Match of the season:

Moment of the season: The play off semi final (Watford win)

Biggest surprise of the season: QPR squad not bothering under Redknapp.

Best signing of the season: has to be Benteke just over Michu because we would be down without him.

Worst signing of the season: I don't know why Bowery got a shout when he wasn't even our worst signing. A few stick out, and they are all at Man City. Or Borini.

Most improved player: Jenkinson, Delph, Rafael, Fellaini.

Can't be arsed to do the team.
