I'd say it was an above average season. If it wasn't for all those draws, we could have been celebrating number 19 right now.

FWIW I think that we began the season with a miniscule chance of winning the title, but with a good chance of being right in the rattle. Once the Mancs had crawled out of the blocks and Chelsea had imploded, those chances had increased to an outside chance of title and "should be good things" to be in the shake up to some extent. we didn't manage to achieve that (and I should imagine most people know why I think we didn't so i won't go over it all now) and for me it's a wasted season. Had we have managed to get within five or six points of the Champions, as well as being in with a chance for much of the season, then we could have looked forward to next season as genuine contenders. As it is, we went backwards in the league and once again have the most miniscule chance of winnijng it next term.
Yes we had a Champions League run, but so did all the other English teams as well and so will they next year. We got beaten in the FA Cup at Home by Barnsley when the competition was there for the winning, and perished away at Chelsea in the Carling Cup which was fair enough, particularly with a second string team.
No it wasn't good enough for me I'm afraid and if we make the same mistakes next season it's time for a change.
