How did your club perform this season? We asked a fan from all 20 Premier League clubs

We gave supporters the chance to have their say on an eventful Premier League campaign
We gave supporters the chance to have their say on an eventful Premier League campaign

The 2018/19 Premier League season has given us one of the greatest title rivalries in recent history, a vintage Jose Mourinho meltdown, the return of Ole Gunnar Solskjær to Old Trafford and the first top flight season without Arsene Wenger. It’s been a season to remember.

Fulham and Cardiff City were sent packing straight back to the Championship, while Huddersfield suffered a bad case of second season syndrome. Pep Guardiola's Manchester City sealed back-to-back Premier League titles, Raheem Sterling silenced critics far and wide and Virgil van Dijk cemented his position as one of the greatest defenders in world football.

And what about Nuno Espirito Santo’s Wolves? Taking points off numerous top sides, Nuno’s boys finished in seventh place, and could even end up playing European football next season.

Here, we have brought together supporters from all 20 Premier League clubs to get their views on the big issues that have shaped the season.

Who has been the shining star at your club? What rating would you give your manager out of ten? And who needs to find a new home this summer?

Arsenal

Best moment: Nothing beats Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's mask reveal at the Emirates. The Black Panther mask was something I never expected to witness in my life. Although perhaps it is a worry that my greatest moment isn't actually football-related.

Worst moment: Shkodran Mustafi's defending - the meme of Arsenal v Crystal Palace. Woeful defending, no remorse, no sense of Premier League standard. A stressful player to watch.

Player of the season: Alexandre Lacazette. Not just Arsenal's player of the season but the fans' too. His game-changing ability, work ethic and talent is like no other. It is honestly refreshing to see a striker stay up on his feet.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Player? How many would I be allowed? Mustafi has to be number one to depart. I will never know wow he was even scouted for Arsenal.

Manager rating: 7/10. A solid seven, to be in the Europa League Final and at one point competing for a top four place - I can't complain. I didn't have any lofty expectations coming into this season.

Hopes for next season: Having said Samuel Umtiti before, I'm happy to hear rumours that he is on Unai Emery's radar. I hope we stabilise our defence, which will hopefully improve the rest of the team.

AFC Bournemouth

Best moment: The 4-0 win against Chelsea reignited all the positive feelings about the way AFC Bournemouth can play when they click. The counter-attacking football was perfectly executed and the points were well-needed at the time.

It proved that the team could also beat a top six team and they did it without Callum Wilson.

Worst moment: Losing 2-0 away at Cardiff City was a hard one to take. The team really didn't turn up and it could have been a bigger defeat. It just underlined how bad our away form was.

Player of the season: Ryan Fraser had an amazing season with his goals and assists. He really worked out how to keep supplying goal opportunities for Callum Wilson and he worked tirelessly on the left wing in creating chances. Keeping hold of Fraser will be difficult.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Asmir Begovic has had a disappointing season in goal. He is among the worst for saves made and in the bottom four for clean sheets. Artur Boruc has been far more impressive, even though Boruc has only played half the number of games.

Manager rating: 6/10. Eddie Howe has kept Bournemouth up for a fifth season which is an achievement but the season promised so much more given the strong start. The huge amount of goals against has not been reduced, and he needs to work out why Bournemouth can't defend as well as the better teams.

Hopes for next season: I'd like to see a more sustained effort in trying to break into the top 10. This will mean further investment in players, but Eddie Howe also needs to move players on like Harry Arter, Tyrone Mings, Marc Pugh and Asmir Begovic.

Survival in the Premier League is no longer exciting enough for the fans and the mood could change if results don't pick up or there isn't a good cup run. It will be another transitional time and a difficult season.

Brighton and Hove Albion

Best moment: Reaching the semi-final of the FA Cup was a special day out at Wembley, but taking six points off Crystal Palace has easily been the best part of this season. We hadn't done it yet in my lifetime and the scenes at Selhurst Park afterwards - whilst we were locked in for 45 minutes by the Metropolitan Police - will live long in the memory.

Worst moment: Losing 5-0 at home to Bournemouth was so bad that the sadist in me almost quite enjoyed it by the end. Getting beaten 2-0 at home by Cardiff three days later was just inexcusable. There was no passion, no fight and at that point in time we were going down quicker than the Titanic.

Player of the season: Lewis Dunk gets most of the plaudits, but Shane Duffy has actually been the better centre half. I'd be very surprised if there isn't a bigger club than the Albion taking a very keen interest this summer.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Alireza Jahanbakhsh has been nothing short of a complete and utter waste of money. A club record £17m on a forward who has contributed a grand total of zero goals and zero assists. I really hope the shirt sales in Iran were worth it.

Manager rating:

8/10 for Chris Hughton in the first half of the season when we were 12 points clear of relegation, 2/10 for the second half when he changed to a 4-3-3 formation, blindly stuck with it for four months and delivered only two wins and 18 goals from 18 league games. Replicate our form since January into an entire season and we'd be finishing bottom of the league with just 25 points in a year's time. That's why he sadly had to go.

Hopes for next season:  

Well, if we start next season as we've played in the second half of this then we'll end up relegated, so a huge upturn in form is needed. Can a new manager do that? He'll need to get the right signings in and find goals from somewhere as we can't keep relying on a 36-year-old Glenn Murray to keep us up. It would also be nice to go into away games and actually try and win rather than bore our way to a 0-0, as was often the case under Hughton. If the new manager does happen to be Graham Potter from Swansea, then him bringing Daniel James from the Liberty Stadium with him would be a good start.

Burnley

Best moment: It's been a real tale of two halves this season. But while most teams were still on their holidays we were in Aberdeen, Istanbul and Athens and as best moments go, it's hard to look past our first European campaign since 1967, despite it ending to Olympiacos before it had properly begun! The atmospheres at those games are something every fan will treasure. Aside from Europe, I'd have to say the 2-1 win over Spurs in February. It was our best performance of the season.

Worst moment: Boxing Day and that 5-1 defeat to Everton at home. It was the lowest slump of our season, our worst performance and made Christmas miserable. But, it also turned into the catalyst for what came afterwards so it didn't turn out all that bad.

Player of the season: Dwight McNeil and Ashley Westwood for me. Westwood has been solid in the centre of the field all season. But McNeil coming into the side breathed life into it and, without him coming in with his creativity, I'm genuinely not sure where we'd have finished.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Joe Hart and Peter Crouch can both go. We need to look forwards to young players, rather than looking like an England retirement home.

Manager rating: 8/10. As a Burnley fan surviving is huge, and anything else is a bonus. The first half of the season was dreadful but Dyche made changes and, since then, we've been the Burnley of old showing grit, determination and heart with a little bit of quality sprinkled about on occasions.

Hopes for next season:Survival again. I'd like to see us enjoy a decent cup run, as Brighton and Watford have this season. If we can carry on the form we've showed so far in 2019, who knows? In terms of transfer targets I think we need a striker, centre-mid, left-back cover and a winger. Ideally I'd like Che Adams to come in from Birmingham but, realistically we're more likely to see Charlie Adam.

Cardiff City

Best moment: Although it’s generally thought by Cardiff fans that we made a better fist of things this time in the Premier League compared with 2013/14, really good moments were rather thin on the ground. I can think of three or four candidates, but I'll go for Victor Camarasa's brilliant late winning goal at Leicester.

Worst moment: My worst moment didn’t come during a game – it came about an hour after one had finished when I saw how far offside Cesar Azpilicueta was when he scored Chelsea’s late equaliser against us in March. I was sitting at the other end of the ground and had berated my team for conceding yet another set piece goal, but you cannot legislate for incompetence like that from an official. Contrary to the cliche, the bad decisions didn’t even themselves out over the season in Cardiff’s case. I managed to be pretty magnanimous about most of them but I cannot be about the performance of the referee and one of his linesmen in that Chelsea game though.

Player of the season: David Marshall was the obvious player of the season during our last Premier League jaunt and it says a lot about our efforts in the top flight that it is another goalkeeper who gets the award this time – we wouldn’t have come close to going down if everyone else had performed as well as Neil Etheridge.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: That’s not an easy question to answer because I think most of our squad will do pretty well in the Championship. I’d probably go for someone who played little or no part in our season, but cost a lot of money by our standards – Gary Madine.

Manager rating: 5/10. Any analysis of Neil Warnock’s season should make reference to the Emiliano Sala tragedy - his task was a very difficult one anyway. However, he wasn’t able to change the common perception of him when it comes to the Premier League and he had a “stinker” at Fulham in the match that all but relegated us.

Hopes for next season: It looks as if Warnock will be staying. I have mixed feelings on that, but no one can deny his effectiveness as a manager in the Championship. We should have the nucleus of the promotion squad from 2017/18 and should be more financially stable than we’ve been for a very long time, but we are likely to lose three first-choice players from our midfield, we have an ageing defence and no prolific goalscorer. As for possible targets, I’d like Reece James, Romaine Sawyers, Ollie Watkins and Che Adams, but that’s probably a tad optimistic.

Chelsea

Best moment: There weren’t many great moments for Chelsea fans this season, but beating the juggernaut that is Manchester City at Stamford Bridge was impressive. Tactically, it was probably Maurizio Sarri’s best game in charge. Our win at Anfield in the League Cup in late September, with Eden Hazard scoring one of the best goals of the season, also deserves an honourable mention.

Worst moment: The 6-0 defeat by Manchester City at the Etihad comes to mind immediately. One of the lowest moments I have ever experienced as a Chelsea fan. No fight, no passion, nothing. It’s like we went into that game accepting we’d get hammered. Our 4-0 defeat in Bournemouth wasn’t much better either. The list goes on and on.

Player of the season: Eden Hazard, no doubt about it. Despite showing his minor inconsistencies throughout the season, he was still outstanding and carried us over the finish line in the end. God knows where we would have finished without his 16 goals and 15 assists in the Premier League.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Any of our strikers. It’s ridiculous that we just haven’t been able to replace Didier Drogba properly in all these years. Time for the club to get rid of all the deadwood up front, take some money and spend it on a genuine world-class centre-forward.

Manager rating: 6/10. I’m not a big fan of Sarri personally. He’s given this team no identity whatsoever, and we honestly played our best football whenever we didn't attempt to play Sarri-ball - whatever that is, I’m still not sure. It definitely isn’t exciting, it’s incredibly dull and arguably less entertaining than the football we played under previous managers. It may have worked in Italy, but it absolutely hasn't worked in England.

You have to give him a bit of credit, though, for taking us back into the Champions League, as well as two cup finals.

Hopes for next season: It’ll probably take a couple of excellent transfer windows to catch up to Liverpool and Manchester City - and with our looming transfer ban that could take several years. I’d like to see us qualify for the Champions League again, this time in more convincing fashion than this season, and maybe target a domestic cup.

While I do think we need to sign one or two world-class players this summer, especially if Eden Hazard does leave for Real Madrid, it is crucial to give the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi important roles in the first team. They have both shown this season that they are more than capable. There are more talented youngsters where those two came from, in our academy and out on loan, but whether Sarri is the right man to implement them is a different matter.

Crystal Palace

Best moment: Andros Townsend's goal at the Etihad. We became the only team to win there all season. I went to Anfield where we lost 4-3 but it didn’t feel like a defeat. Personally, it was finally beating Arsenal at the Emirates as my brothers and my late father were Arsenal fans.

Worst moment: Losing to Brighton not once but twice.

Player of the season: Aaron Wan-Bissaka; the Spider! Like many others, I voted for him to win the supporters' player of the season. An academy and Croydon boy, he has been amazing, so calm with his tackles, and has become the one to watch. Every week Aaron puts in his shift, working hard to drive forward but always ready to defend. Wingers don’t like him as his song says, but I think Luka Milivojevic and Wilfried Zaha deserve a mention this season, too, as both have been vital to our wins.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: The sad news that Julian Speroni will be leaving us after 15 years. What a legend he is! Also saying goodbye to Jason Puncheon, the FA Cup hero. So it’s a sad time for Palace fans and the end of an era. Last weekend was also the last performance from Michy Batshuayi as his loan spell from Chelsea comes to an end. Hopefully we won’t lose any fringe players as we are a small squad.

Manager rating: 7/10. Roy, Roy, Roy: where do we start! We haven’t been good enough at home but our away form is a different game! I’ve travelled to Newcastle, Leicester and Arsenal to see us gain points unlike some poor fans who can’t make away games. There’s been a lot of talk about Roy among fans, with the lack of substitutions being one issue. But he has completed the job he was given by Steve Parish - to keep us up for a 7th season.

Hopes for next season: To replicate last season away from home. My biggest hope is that we are able to enjoy Wilf Zaha for one more season and watch the continued improvement of Wan-Bissaka.

Everton

Best moment: Performance wise, and for personal bragging rights, it must be the 4-0 win against Manchester United at Goodison Park. My father, as a United fan, has a friendly rivalry with me when it comes to these two sides facing each other. After that game, I was able to give him some stick. Everton played particularly well that day and for me it was the closest representation of how Everton should always play at Goodison under Marco Silva. Quick in transition, direct when needed and counter-attacked when there was an opportunity. The electric atmosphere also helped!

Worst moment: I would say the 6-2 loss to Tottenham at Goodison. That game was an accumulation of many things and I guess the most disheartening element was that we actually started really well and were on the front foot with a goal from Theo Walcott. It was followed by a goal by Dominic Calvert-Lewin that was, in my eyes, unfairly disallowed. Once Spurs applied some pressure, we lost concentration, and ended up losing our shape and discipline. We gave the game away to them by half-time and it was hard to watch thereafter.

Player of the season: It was always going to be hard replacing Leighton Baines, but Luca Digne is a top player. Digne seamlessly adapted to the team. Together with his defensive duties, he supports in attack, has a great throw on him and can score from open-play or free-kicks. There’s a reason he was at PSG and Barcelona!

Player you’d be happy to see leave: It’s hard to say about any player. But looking in a particular position: I think James McCarthy could be a player that might find himself at another club. We have an abundance of central midfielders and I think that McCarthy might be deemed excess in that department by the manager.

Manager rating: 7/10. Silva’s appointment was supported by the arrival of Marcel Brands as sporting director, so there was every reason to be optimistic. We knew this project would take time and that was echoed by the club. So, with this in mind, we knew it would take a while for the players (new and established) to adapt to Silva’s system. This was the case in my opinion, and only recently (especially at home) are we seeing Silva’s tactics and footballing philosophies being portrayed on the pitch in the way that he prefers. A shame it has come at the back-end of the season.

Hopes for next season: Continue the form we are currently having at home into next season. The philosophy is there, and I think the players are enjoying their football together. Making Goodison a fortress looks like a realistic target in year two of this project and making 7th place must be the minimum requirement. We need to keep hold of our best players, get a proven striker and build squad depth with youth from our outstanding academy. Although a high league position would be great, a cup is something that I think we would all love next season.

Fulham

Best moment: There have been very few moments to celebrate this season. However, winning away to Bournemouth would have to top it. Having only picked up two points on the road this season, it was nice to finally win and keep another clean sheet!

Worst moment: I would have to say the appointment of Claudio Ranieri. Although it was an appointment that I was happy about at the time. The longer his short-term went on, the more frustrating it became. Seeing the likes of young Ryan Sessegnon being left out of the squad, and Tom Cairney continuously being played out of position, was very painful to watch.

Was Claudio Ranieri's appointment the final nail in the coffin for Fulham's Premier League survival hopes? Credit: Steve Bardens/Getty

Player of the season: Calum Chambers. I think it would be fair to say that Calum’s spell at Fulham did not start the way that he would have liked. Playing as a CB, he was often caught ball-watching and goals were being conceded because of such mistakes. Liverpool away was the day that we saw what Arsenal saw all those years ago – a tough player who plays for the shirt and who will run for 90 minutes no matter what the score. Calum has been brilliant for us all season and will be missed by many fans. 

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Timothy Fosu-Mensah (TFM) - a player who has been a total disappointment from start to end. When Fulham announced the loan signing of TFM, it was something that filled Fulham fans with hope having lost Ryan Fredericks to West Ham in the summer - how wrong we were.

Manager rating: Which one?! Slav 6/10, Ranieri 4/10 and Super Scott 7/10.

Hopes for next season: A top-six finish (and going up). Having been relegated, I have no specific targets of interest, unless Messi fancies an outing at Luton next season. Fulham’s main priority over the next 6-8 weeks is to keep hold of players such as Mitrovic and Sessegnon. Let’s hope that we can learn from our recruitment mistakes of last season and build a team who play for the badge on the shirt. COYW!

Huddersfield Town

Best moment: Beating Wolves 2-0 at Molineux at the back end of November. At that stage we had taken seven points from nine and it looked like our poor start to the season was behind us. We dominated Wolves that day, and played like an established Premier League club, which made the following six months particularly hard to stomach.

Worst moment: Lee Mason changing his mind away to Cardiff. The folically-challenged referee had awarded Town a penalty, but, after an ear-bashing from the Cardiff players, decided to overturn his original decision. The following Monday, David Wagner received a call from Mason with the official apologising for his error - one of many similar calls this season. Unfortunately, Wagner's mind had already been made up and he stepped down later that day.

Player of the season: Juninho Bacuna - The young Dutch midfielder has yet to experience a win in Blue & White but he has earned the respect of the fans through his all-action displays. In amongst the blood and thunder of his game are genuine moments of quality which bode well for next season.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Outgoing chairman Dean Hoyle referred to some of the players as 'a disgrace' recently. He didn't name them but I will; Jonas Lossl, Zanka, Florent Hadergjonaj, Philip Billing and Laurent Depoitre, they must ALL leave.

Manager rating: How can we possibly judge Jan Siewert? The team were doomed when he came in, with a number of players already having downed tools. Siewert's true test will be next season.

Hopes for next season: A season of stability in the Championship with a possible late lunge for the play-offs. Turfing out the 'disgraces' and replacing them with decent players (both mentally and technically) will be a challenge. We need characters in our changing room and I have no idea who we should bring in. I'll leave that up to the club. After all, I'd never heard of Christopher Schindler before we signed him and he didn't turn out too badly eh?

Leicester City

Best moment: Wes Morgan’s injury time winner at Burnley. We approached this game in the most Leicester City way possible; down to ten men after 3 minutes, Wes on as a sub, somehow one - nil up through a Maddison screamer, then pegged back, then 20 per cent possession for the rest of the game, until a scrappy winner in a monsoon. I fell down three rows of seats celebrating. That pips the great wins over Man City and Arsenal at home for me.

Worst moment: The helicopter crash. No loss or poor performance on the pitch will ever come close to how awful a moment that was for our club and our city. Vichai’s legacy will always live on thanks to that wonderful season in 2016 and his son remaining at the helm of the club, but the events of that evening were absolutely heartbreaking. How the rest of football reacted does restore your faith in humanity somewhat though. The most common comment I got from fans of other clubs is how much they wish they had a chairman like Vichai.

Player of the season: Tielemans. He’s honestly the best player I’ve ever seen in a Leicester shirt. If we can somehow keep him that would be such a coup. Maddison and Ricardo were also great.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Islam Slimani. Perpetually out on loan and on a lot of money. Not an awful player, we just don’t play to his strengths at all.

Manager rating: Puel wasn’t awful, we have to be realistic. We’re not a massive club. Rogers felt like a big capture though and he’s made a really positive start for me. 7/10.

Hopes for next season:  Sign Tielemans permanently and build the team around him. Hopefully keep Chilwell. Sign a good, young backup to Jamie Vardy. Finally actually replace Mahrez with someone terrifyingly good, probably from Ligue 2. Finish seventh. Actually take the cups seriously; we’ve never won the FA Cup and haven’t got further than the semis in my lifetime. It’s still a big deal to me! Not be linked with the same transfer targets as West Ham and Everton by lazy journalists who class us as big, but not top six big. Employ Nigel Pearson as head of media relations.

Leicester (second opinion)

Best moment: Has to be the 2-1 win at home against Manchester City. Ricardo Pereira’s goal was an absolute rocket and it was one of the very few low points for Pep Guardiola this season. The atmosphere was unreal.

Worst moment: It goes without saying, the helicopter crash in October was one of the worst moments in football, not just our season.

I remember it clearly. My old man and I were on our way to the pub after the game and then it all just happened. It was pure shock. Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha was like a father for everyone at the club. Free pizza, free drinks, free cake and a proper family atmosphere. He ran that club how a football club should be run, like a big family.

It was the owner and Nigel Pearson who put everything in place for us to win the league in 2016, not Claudio Ranieri.

There were thousands at the ground all week laying wreaths, including myself, we’ll never forget him.

Player of the season: Without a shadow of a doubt, Ricardo Pereira. He’s been fantastic.

A lot of fans outside our club would say James Maddison has been our standout star, but he’s gone missing a lot this season. During that awful run under Puel where we lost nine games on the trot, Jamie Vardy and him were awful. Pereria has been consistently brilliant all season.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: This is a controversial one but I’d have to say Ben Chillwell. For two reasons. One, he can’t hit a barn door. And secondly, we can sell him for a decent price and get a far better replacement.

I’d like to see Kieran Tierney come in from Celtic to replace him.

Manager rating:  For Claude Puel it would be a 6/10. Tactically he wasn’t that different to  Brendan Rodgers but he’s the only manager dumb enough to try and play just two centre-midfielders in the Premier League. You can’t compete playing like that. His lack of English didn’t help and according to insiders his training sessions were very boring.

It’s hard to judge Rodgers but I’d give him an 8/10. We’ve won games that we weren’t winning under Puel. Easy games, but important ones where we were dropping far too many points previously.

Hopes for next season: I’m going to be optimistic and say I think we can finish fifth. If you look at our form since Rodgers took over it’s been much better than the likes of Manchester United in the same time frame. If Arsenal or United have poor seasons, we could definitely catch them. And Jamie Vardy, he’s one of the best in the league. His scoring record against the top six makes Harry Kane look like a child.

Liverpool

Best moment: The Barcelona win in the Champions League will be a moment I will never forget. Managing to overturn a 3-0 defeat against, probably, the best side in the world is truly remarkable. In the Premier League, Divock Origi’s last-minute winner against Everton was both amazing and comical. Even though we didn’t win the league, we managed to get 97 points. For me alone that has to be one of my best moments.

Worst moment: It’s hard to pick out a worst moment of the season. Losing to Manchester City 2-1 was hard to take, not only because they were our title rivals but it was our first loss of the entire Premier League campaign. The Leicester City draw was another tough result to take in.

Player of the season: It has to be Virgil van Dijk. The man has been immense. He’s changed our side completely and made us into title challengers.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Dejan Lovren. With Joel Matip solidifying his partnership with Van Dijk. I feel Lovren must go so we can bring a good young centre-back in.

Manager rating: 10/10. The football we have been playing has been beautiful. I’ve enjoyed every single game. Klopp is how you define a Liverpool manager. Heavy. Metal. Football.

Hopes for next season: To win the league. I think every single Liverpool fan will agree with that. We can’t try and settle for anything less. Regards transfer targets, I’d love to sign Matthijs de Ligt. For me he’s my personal No 1 target. Him and Van Dijk would be the best centre-back partnership in the world. Two immense players and leaders. Another player who’s had an excellent season is Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic. I think we should have a look at him. Finally, a player I’ve always wanted is Sergej Milinković-Savić for Lazio. However, with the depth we have in our midfield, I’m not sure if this signing is realistic.

Manchester City

Best moment: It simply had to be winning the league. It was joyous, exceptionally hard-earned and incredibly satisfying. To follow up a 100 points season with 98 points? So, so good. It wasn't just that though - this was a season blessed with incredible moments for us City fans: Vincent Kompany's incredible goal against Leicester, the 6-0 win over Chelsea, local lad and City fan Phil Foden scoring the winner against Spurs and many, many more.

Worst moment: VAR. - ergh. I know it's the future and it's probably necessary, plus the decision was right, but going wild thinking we'd gone through to the Champions League semi-final in the last minute, only to have it snatched away from us like that. Sickening. I'll never trust it again. I've calmed down dramatically since then, of course, like we all have, but that was a hammer blow of a moment that still stings to this day.

Player of the season: Bernardo Silva. He's simply sublime. What more could you want from a player? Majestic, technically wonderful, versatile and exceptionally hard working. He's a manager's dream and he plays exactly how every supporter would love to if they got to play for their club. The perfect midfielder.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Honestly, I love this squad and I'm happy for any player that wants to stay to hang around, but there's a few on the periphery that probably could do with a change for their own career really. The likes of Fabian Delph, Danilo etc. Comically, Eliaquim Mangala is still on the books. So I'll say him.

Manager rating: 9/10. He's fantastic. Are we rich? Definitely. Is Pep lucky to have these resources at hand? Of course, he'd say that himself - but is there anyone better at spending that money and almost guaranteeing domestic success? Nope. A solid 9 out of 10 season. Could only have been improved by a Champions League final spot.

Hopes for next season: Another league win and a Champions League final appearance. Transfer wise, a long-term replacement for the ageing Fernandinho, plus potential centre-back reinforcements as Nicolas Otamendi and Kompany aren't likely to be here in twelve months time. The likes of Matthijs De Ligt would be perfect, and someone like Rodri or Tanguy Ndombele to come in as midfield options.

Manchester United

Best moment: Cardiff 1 Manchester United 5. It shows how bard our season has been that I'm nominating a victory over a side that eventually got relegated really as my best moment, but that day felt so right. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had came into the job, surprisingly, but he was a hero to every Red and the players responded with a performance on what turned out to be a fantastic away day.

It showed the kind of football Ole wants to play and it was a dream debut for him.

Our season peaked in Paris but this was my favourite moment of the league campaign.

Worst moment: The draw at Huddersfield is up there with the lowest I’ve felt as a United fan this season. The lack of fight and determination against a side that had already been relegated when Champions League qualification was still at stake was a real sickener.

We’ve had bad games in the past but that was really bad and coming at a time when our rivals were involved in some of the biggest games of the season it only went to show that bit more just how bad things are - one silver lining could be that it could inspire the board into action but I won't hold my breath.

Player of the season: Paul Pogba or Victor Lindelof. Pogba, despite his inconsistencies, has been one of our better performers in spells this season and the numbers speak volumes. Lindelof has shown he could be the man to build a defence around. Would rather scrap the award this year though.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Where do we start? I think it’d be easier to list the players I wish are here next season. And even some of those have question marks over them in terms of consistency and commitment to the cause.

Who I'd most like to see leave would be: Marcos Rojo, Matteo Darmian, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Ashley Young, Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lukaku...

Manager rating: 6/10. If Mourinho remained in charge we would never have had a sniff of top four but the run that we ended the season on cannot be forgotten and the manager has to take some responsibility for that. He needs a transfer window or two before he can be judged properly though.

Hopes for next season: A solid transfer window, a sense of direction, the manager to be given the resources and structure to build a strong squad and for us to feel like we are moving in the right direction.

After six years of false dawns and a lack of leadership on and off the pitch I’m not quite sure we will get that and a poor summer could see us finishing outside the top four yet again.

In terms of specific signings: Aaron Wan Bisakka, De Ligt, Toby Alderweireld, Jadon Sancho, Ruben Neves (and if Lukaku leaves a striker). Now that’d be a decent window but again I wouldn’t hold my breath!

Newcastle

Best moment: Beating Manchester City and signing Miguel Almiron in the same day: one of those games that just reinvigorates hope in every fan. Followed closely though by the opening 20 minutes in the away end at Old Trafford earlier in the campaign.

Worst moment: Early exits in both cup competitions and a season that was killed by Mike Ashley before it had even begun.

Player of the season: Fabian Schar, but also credit to Ayoze Perez who since the beginning of March has finally begun producing the kind of performances his goal celebration suggests he is capable of.

Players I'd be happy to see leave: I am sure most fans would name a few, and I have a few in mind but under Rafa Benitez this is the first group of players we have had in a long long time that show nothing but 100 per cent dedication and grit for the cause. So I wont be digging any of them out on here as they are all a pleasure to watch.

Manager Rating: 10/10.

Hopes for next season: Ashley sells the club. That is the be all and end all for me.

Southampton

Best moment: The best moment of Southampton’s season was James Ward-Prowse’s decisive free-kick in the 2-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in March. Two goals in the space of five minutes saw the team overcome a 1-0 deficit to defeat Spurs, and Ward-Prowse’s exceptional strike from distance prompted incredible celebrations inside St Mary’s.

Ralph Hasenhuttl got his second-half tactics and substitutions spot on. It was a vitally important win that boosted Southampton’s hopes of Premier League survival on a memorable day.

Worst moment: The worst moment of the season came in Cardiff City’s 2-1 win over Southampton. Kenneth Zohore scored a 93rd-minute goal to break Saints fans’ hearts after Jack Stephens netted a late equaliser. It was a must-win game for the team; a draw was unacceptable, but a loss was unthinkable. Nevertheless, a dismal performance saw Neil Warnock’s men depart St Mary’s with three vital points in a crucial fixture at the bottom of the table.

Hasenhuttl's tenure at Southampton has been successful thus far, but the loss against Cardiff was a real low point as the fears of relegation heightened immensely.

Player of the Season: Nathan Redmond, arguably the only player who flourished under both Mark Hughes and Hasenhuttl. He has found his shooting boots, developed consistency and endeared himself to the Southampton fans. As the season progressed, Redmond’s performances improved, and he more than played his part in the club’s resurgence.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Fraser Forster: The goalkeeper hasn’t had a part to play since December 2017, and the club must cut their losses on the 31-year-old. Forster is understood to earn a sizable wage, and freeing up money to spend on strengthening more pressing areas of the squad will be necessary this summer.

Manager rating: 8/10. The Austrian has been a breath of fresh air. After Hughes’s shortcomings, he has instilled belief and confidence in the team once again. Masterclasses against Arsenal and Tottenham helped Southampton escape their troubles. Although there have been minor decision-making deficiencies, Hasenhüttl has been a massive hit.

Hopes for next season?: After two seasons of relegation battles, consolidation and a challenge for a top-half finish at the very minimum should be the aim for Southampton in 2019-20. Four quality additions must be made to the squad, however. Timothy Castagne of Atalanta or Joakim Maehle of Genk would provide good options at right wing-back, while Lille captain Adama Soumaoro would strengthen the central defence immeasurably.

Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica would give Southampton more firepower on the flanks, and Hoffenheim attacker Andrej Kramaric - formerly of Leicester - would be an impressive signing who would suit Hasenhüttl’s demands of technical quality in build-up play.

Tottenham Hotspur

Best moment: When a team reaches the final of the biggest club competition in the world for the very first time and especially given the manner in which we went about doing so, it’s hard to look past Lucas Moura sending us into the Champions League final in the 96th-minute. The goal was the story of our season, defying the odds and coming back when all hope seemed lost; that moment will be hard to ever top. But saying that, I’m confident the best moment is still yet to come in Madrid.

Worst moment:Losing to Crystal Palace away in the FA Cup was a very low moment for Spurs fans. It was a strong indication that the depth of the squad just wasn’t good enough and Mauricio Pochettino had thrown away another chance to win a trophy. But given our recent feats in Amsterdam, sacrificing a cup run has been worth it.

Player of the season: I still can’t believe I’m about to say this: Moussa Sissoko. Prior to this season, the Frenchman had been totally ridiculed by the majority of the club’s supporters. But now, he’s become one of the most integral players in our side and a man I’m sure will play a huge role against Liverpool on June 1.

Player I'd be happy to see leave:Kieran Trippier. He’s an important lesson to all never to judge a player based on form at a World Cup. Long gone are the days of two of Spurs' most crucial players being Kyle Walker and Danny Rose bombing up from full-back. He has been a great servant for the club and I’d love to see him go out with a bang next month.

Manager rating: 9.5/10. To reach a Champions League final and finish in the top four with £0 spent is a truly remarkable achievement. He’s done an amazing job using what he’s got, especially the way he’s managed to get so much out of Sissoko and Fernando Llorente.

Hopes for next season: Having seen Mauricio Pochettino’s comments about the club setting new ambitions after the final, we need to be looking to significantly close the gap in the league on Manchester City and Liverpool. In order to do so, the club will need to back Pochettino in the summer window. I’m hoping for a defensive midfielder, a right-back, a forward who can play behind and replace Harry Kane when he’s out.

Watford

Best moment: Watford’s brilliant start to the season involved four straight wins and a long-awaited and much cherished home win over Spurs, but the highlight has to be the incredible FA Cup semi-final comeback against Wolves. Our two previous trips to Wembley had ended in disappointment and for the best part of 80 minutes it looked as though we were headed for an unwanted hat-trick. Happily, Gerard Deulofeu had other ideas, and his wonder goal kickstarted a comeback that will be remembered for generations. Sensational stuff.

Worst moment: Our annual Anfield annihilation was tough to take, and there were plenty of games that should have seen Javi Gracia’s team come away with a better result; none more so than the home fixture with Arsenal, which saw Watford dominate despite the early dismissal of Troy Deeney.

Player of the season:Etienne Capoue. After showing tantilising glimpses of the player he could be during inconsistent previous seasons, this term saw Capoue deliver on his potential. In forming a formidable midfield duo with Abdoulaye Doucoure, the Frenchman has been absolutely vital in Watford’s success this year. Nothing short of monumental.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Roberto Pereyra. Undeniably talented and started the season in blistering form, earning himself a recall to the Argentine national team in the process. His form and contribution tailed off dramatically in the second half of the season though, and with links with a move to Torino persisting, I would be happy to see him depart.

Manager rating: 8/10. Javi Gracia has managed to achieve what his predecessors could not, uniting a team of talented yet disparate performers who have pulled together to get Watford to an FA Cup Final and their highest Premier League points haul. Gracia is liked and respected by both players and fans, earning respect on the pitch with his tactical nous and off it with his approachable demeanour.

Hopes for next season: This season has been a lot of fun; by far and away the best since returning to the top flight. Despite this, Watford still tailed off in the final month with a run of disappointing results ending up in a lower half finish. The hope will be that next term we can continue to improve under Gracia, with a top half finish and a genuine tilt at Europa League qualification the target. To achieve this, the fabled Pozzo scouting network will need to have a productive summer, with central defensive reinforcements and added striking options top of the shopping list.

West Ham United

Best moment: Tottenham (away). With our season being dead in the water pretty much since January it was a boring limp through to May. We had lost every game away from home against top 6 sides so to go away to Spurs' new stadium and find such an unexpected performance was something the fans really needed to give us some joy in a season that has produced very little. If this was West Ham's "cup final" as Spurs fans like to claim then we had just won yet another one.

Worst moment: Being knocked out of the FA Cup by League One's bottom side at the time, AFC Wimbledon. It was not that it was a close game where the plucky lower division side nicked the win but a 4-2 loss and a disgraceful display. It hit home that there were many players within the West Ham squad who do not want to play for the club and that will be reflected this summer when there will be a clear-out of these type of characters. Our season ended the moment we were knocked out.

Player of the season: Łukasz Fabiański. Without him we would be in a relegation battle. I thought his signing in the summer was pointless as Adrian was a solid goalkeeper but the upgrade has been startlingly noticeable.

Player I'd be happy to see leave: There are so many. Javier Hernandez or Lucas Perez. Both players who will never be regulars at West Ham and both players who have no real interest in playing for the club either. I expect both to leave. Pedro Obiang is another.

Manager rating: 6/10. There has been an improvement but given that we had the worst defence in the league last season that had to improve. The home form is better. The away form has been poor. Injuries have not allowed Pellegrini to showcase what he wanted to do and I still have much hope next season we will see his vision.

Hopes for next season: To improve substantially. Fans wanted a top 10 place this season and I don't think that was unrealistic given the money spent and next season to compete for seventh place is surely a goal that can be achieved. With possibly three of the four forwards leaving the club a striker is going to be imperative with Maxi Gomez from Celta Vigo looking the prime target. Ultimately I want West Ham to win more games than they lose and score a lot more goals than we have done this season and last.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Best moment: In the Premier League probably a coin toss between Jota's 93rd-minute winner versus Leicester in that epic 4-3 win, or Helder Costa running through to make it 3-1 against Spurs at Wembley. Various others could have got it though.

Worst moment: Comfortably the worst moment of the season was losing the FA Cup semi-final to Watford from 2-0 up. In the league maybe the last minute defeat at Huddersfield. They beat us twice us and deservedly so.

Player of the season: I have to give it to Raul Jimenez for goals, assists and leading the line. He was the only indispensable player. An honourable mention though for Joao Moutinho (effortless class) and Matt Doherty (improvement and consistency).

Player I'd be happy to see leave: Helder Costa. He's been great for Wolves but it simply hasn't happened for him in the Premier League and I think he will move on in the summer. Not the player he was and I think much of that is confidence, which is a shame.

Manager rating: I'm going to be harsh and say 9.9/10 and that's only because of questionable substitutions in the cup semi-final. Other than that, I can't find fault. One of, if not the best manager we've ever had at the club. Please stay.

Hopes for next season?: Keep the manager and the existing squad together. Follow last season's transfer blueprint of only adding players who will improve the team. Another season of development on and off the pitch for the club. No hard target in terms of league position.
