Welcome to a really late half three of Bitter and Blue’s Finish of Season Awards!
I’ve been busy with work and holidaying, however I’m again and centered once more on finishing our finish of season awards!
We requested our writers what their recreation of the season was. A number of left subject shouts right here, however to be truthful, there wasn’t a lot to go off.
Right here’s what we mentioned:
Saul
Very unorthodox decide right here for me, however give me Spurs vs. Manchester Metropolis, the place Metropolis received the win at Tottenham. An Erling Haaland aim sealed the win in opposition to a real thorn in Metropolis’s aspect. Spurs at all times appear to pose issues and this one was even higher given the away nature and the actual fact they have been coming off the massive losses each to Liverpool and Actual Madrid. An actual momentum builder coming off these losses. The membership performed nicely that evening, Ederson had a particular evening and Metropolis emerged victorious. Maybe that was the spark that led Metropolis to complete third, however that win was a giant one.

Will
I used to be at this recreation, and for my part, it was the one recreation this season I left absolutely pondering that Metropolis’s efficiency was on the ranges that they have been often at between 2017 and 2023.
Newcastle at residence, the place we noticed a commanding debut efficiency from Nico Gonzalez, a hat-trick from Omar Marmoush, John Stones and Abdukodir Khusanov making a formidable partnership and a cushty 4-0 win, is my decide.
It appeared on the time like a turning level, however contemplating Metropolis misplaced their subsequent two video games after that, it simply appeared to be a personification of the outdated catchphrase, one step forwards, two steps again.
Will’s decide: Manchester Metropolis 4-0 Newcastle United
Pete
It is a robust one. As a result of inconsistency of the lads’s crew, I’m wanting on the lady’s matches and the one that basically stands proud is the 2-0 Champions League win over Barcelona.
The Catalan aspect have been the holders and it was anticipated that Metropolis wouldn’t be capable to maintain them. However the Blues shocked everybody and targets by Naomi Layzell and Bunny Shaw capped a shocking show for the ladies.
Layzell had by no means scored earlier than this match, think about getting your first ever aim in opposition to the European champions? She additionally assisted Bunny for her aim because the Blues pulled off a shock victory.
