The character of this team is immense.

22 points from losing positions, second only to Villa. Including, of course, winning after being behind at the mags and Chelsea.

7 times, by my reckoning, that we won the next game after losing the previous.

Finishing the last four unbeaten after the Villa and Forest games when it would have been easy to crumble.

Huge credit to everybody, but obviously the manager and Xhaka must play a big part in this as these things don’t happen by accident.

As far as I can tell we also didn’t lose any games that we went ahead in - by my reckoning we went ahead in 19 games, winning 14 and drawing 5.

That’s an amazing stat. There’ve been seasons in the past when we’d be leading late in the game and you’d just know we’d concede. Look at some of the games this season - mags at home and yesterday, for example, and we look so well organised and in control.
 
The “Til the End” slogan was a masterstroke

Not just for the players but for the fans too who by and large have bought into it, I know I have

I used to turn the game off if we were losing on the 80th minute, but now after being Wembley last year and watching every game this season, you know you just can’t discount us
