Supporters review of the season: Aston Villa
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.So close but yet so far pretty much sums up our campaign. At one point we were really challenging the top four, only to see our hopes of Champions League football fade away during a horrible run of form.
Martin O'Neill has definitely managed to progress the team although the Uefa Cup exit after resting key players is the big disappointment for most fans. A first trophy since 1996 would have been fantastic. The injury sustained by our super skipper Martin Laursen was the big low point of the season, but some of our young players have definitely improved, especially Ashley Young, who has put in some brilliant displays and was deservedly named PFA Young Player of the Year.
Which team were your best opponents?
Taking into account our 5-0 thrashing at Anfield I would have to say Liverpool.
Who would you most like your team to sign this summer?
We desperately need a powerful centre-back. Personally I would love to see us sign Micah Richards.
What was the weirdest/funniest moment of your season?
Seeing Steve Bennett award Hull a last-minute penalty at the KC only to reverse his decision was pretty weird/funny!
Mark out of 10 for the season?
