Is this the best season ever.


Overall achievement, quite possibly, although i found the Reid year more enjoyable purely because we actually scored a lot of goals.

The frustrating thing is that under Bruce's 10th place finish, we had a very goods team that a decent manager would've got us to a similar position & qualified for Europe.
 
I have been a supporter since 1994 and yes, it's the best season I can remember.

105 point season was something else, because we were just invincible. The next season finishing 7th under reid was amazing, but I always felt it was something like an artificial high (and it turned out to be)

This is different level as not only are we in Europe, I feel for the first time in a long time that we have strong foundations and can kick on from here.
 
Been going since 1997 so the fact that we’ve qualified for European competition yes. The two 7th place finishes under Reidy are very close and we had SKP win the European Golden Shoe in the first of those. But no one expected this. We didn’t, fans of other clubs mocked and took the piss when we won at Wembley. We’ve totally confounded expectations. Superb, brilliant, excellent. Today was the icing on the cake.
 
I think so, I preferred the Reidy years, but that'll be down to me going home and away at the time and young.

This is the better season given the outcome.

The standard in the PL is way higher than it was when Reid was in charge. For that reason alone, the achievement in getting seventh after coming up through the play-offs is ridiculous.
