Season score: This season must be a 9/10. Profitable a home trophy after 70 years and qualifying as soon as once more for the Champions League has certainly made this among the finest seasons in residing reminiscence.
Joyful along with your supervisor? I am actually proud of Eddie Howe and the way he has managed this season. December was worrying after a poor efficiency towards at their place however, Howe being Howe, it was meticulously analysed. He modified our system, unlocked Sandro Tonali, and stuck it. He was in hospital this season with pneumonia, and obtained again to the touchline as quickly as he may (presumably too quickly?!) to information the staff and end the season sturdy. He is already a membership legend.

Unsung hero: I will even take this chance to sing Jacob Murphy’s praises. Murphy is a irritating participant to look at at instances however you can’t deny his stats this season. Ignoring the ultimate sport of the season (for a lot of causes – not simply him), his contribution has been superb. Eight objectives within the league and 12 assists. We might not have gotten Champions League soccer with out him – and he clearly is cherished by the remainder of the squad.
Participant you’ll most wish to signal: We have to strengthen considerably this summer time. We now have been linked with Bryan Mbeumo for some time now, which might be an amazing signing. He is dynamic, can play on the best wing or by means of the center, significantly necessary if we’re shedding Callum Wilson this summer time. We want thrilling ahead choices for the Champions League, and with 20 league objectives and 7 assists this season, Mbeumo matches that profile completely. He is additionally solely 25. Ultimate.
Proper now, my overriding emotion from the season is: Happiness. It was not simple, or fairly, however we did what we would have liked to do. And Manchester United helped us out for as soon as too, which was good. I am so excited for subsequent season. Champions League soccer at St James Park as soon as once more. Buzzing.
