Summary

We made it to the end... a season that will be remembered for many years to come, for all the wrong reasons, is finally over.

But who actually deserves some credit for sticking to their task, inspiring their teammates, and just generally defying the general trend of underperformance?

We choose our player of the season (who isn't Bruno), the goal that moved us, the standout moment, the podcast highlight, and mint a special award for a very special man. All with the help of your suggestions.

Hasta luego!
