1. Your reaction to the season? Try and summarise Saints season in a paragraph
- Still in shock, amazed we got promoted even more amazed that we completely deserve it.
2. Top marks. Whose been your player of the season and why (just a sentence)
- Has to be SRL, but even though is scored a million. Davis has been phenomenal and kept us in games, he must be responsible for nearly has many points. Morgan however I believe is our best player. Got to mention Lala too, while teams war watching him, Ricky was banging them in.
3. Bottom of the class: Who has been the donkey/scapegoat/animal of your choice and why (just a sentence)
2..Puncheon and Barnard of course...nuff said.
4. How you rate Nigel Adkins' performance this season (just a sentence or two)
Pleasantly surprised, he will make more mistakes but he is clearly a fantastic manager and we are very lucky to have him.
5. Best moment: Pretty straightforward (Could be a goal, a whole match, a signing, a particularly nice pie, whatever you like) (just a sentence)
Millwall away.
6. Worst moment: As above (just a sentence)
Brighton away, that was just horrible.
7. Best fans: Which opposing fans made the best impression (just a sentence).
Can't say any did! I guess Cov handled themselves with a bit of class at the end.
8. Worst fans: And who were the worst. (just a sentence)
Brighton, they are desperate for us to be a rival, I hope we don't get dragged into this.

1. Your reaction to the season? Try and summarise Saints season in a paragraph
The best season of my Saints supporting life... Beyond every expectation I ever had, we'll never have another like it (I pray) because it meant so much because of the shite 8 years that went before.
2. Top marks. Whose been your player of the season and why (just a sentence)
It's obvious but it's difficult to look past Rickie Lambert, honourable mentions to Morgan, Kelvin, Guly and Hoovield
3. Bottom of the class: Who has been the donkey/scapegoat/animal of your choice and why (just a sentence)
Nah, we got promoted with a team that had pretty much played in L1 last season, some of them aren't Championship players, but that's not their fault.
4. How you rate Nigel Adkins' performance this season (just a sentence or two)
'This one goes to 11' He took a side from L1 and put them in the premier league, he made a striker that has spent ALL of his career in the bottom two leagues the best striker in the Championship and he did it all whilst entertaining with his football and his words
5. Best moment: Pretty straightforward (Could be a goal, a whole match, a signing, a particularly nice pie, whatever you like) (just a sentence)
On the Pitch - Fonte's goal against Coventry, that was when I knew that we would be Premier League again
6. Worst moment: As above (just a sentence)
The second Pompey goal at St Mary's - I haven't felt so flat walking away from a ground since the FA Cup final in 2003
7. Best fans: Which opposing fans made the best impression (just a sentence)
OK I'll say it - Pompey, big support for a match that they must have expected to get a hiding in given league positions and they helped create a great atmosphere in the ground
8. Worst fans: And who were the worst. (just a sentence)
West Ham - Arrogant c*nts, singing you're only here for the Hammers - Well who the f*ck is laughing now to coin a popular phrase!

1. Your reaction to the season? Just great fun, expectations exceeded in a big way, I thought we may scrape into the Play Offs, but didn't expect it.
2. Top marks. Whose been your player of the season and why? You can't really look beyond SRL, a colossus, but Jos has had such a positive influence since his arrival too.
3. Bottom of the class: Who has been the donkey/scapegoat/animal of your choice and why? De Ridder has been a massive let down for me, he was shocking on Saturday too, shouldn't play again.
4. How you rate Nigel Adkins' performance this season Fantastic, I'm not expert but the whole ethos of the club has his stamp of genuine positivity all over it. He has made mistakes, but we march on, transfer activity will be key.
5. Best moment: Jos scoring on Saturday so I could finally relax. I think the win away at Palace was key, coming when it did to keep momentum going at a crucial stage. But the best thing for me on a personal level was going to the Reading game at St Mary's with my brother and Dad. We had such a fantastic evening that I was determined not to let the result ruin it. A night I will long remember, if only for my Dad saying, well Brighton may do us a favour tomorrow!!
6. Worst moment: ...that last minute equaliser, and that performance against Leicester...WTF?
7. Best fans: Which opposing fans made the best impression: haven't been to enough games, away at Wham, and Millwall don't really make for great contenders.
8. Worst fans: And who were the worst. I went to the Carling Cup game at Palace and the Saints fans near me were fighting amongst themselves...twats

I want to do an article to keep on the website, like I have with last season's, so I would like as many as possible to try and give an honest answer to the following questions : 1. Your reaction to the season? Try and summarise Saints season in a paragraph I thought we might be play off contenders. Strengthen in January and have a go. Some of the football we were playing at the start of the season was just fantastic. We hadn't played like that for years. Teams stepped up against us, some worked us out. We lost form but so did the others. Top 2 all season speaks for itself. Amazing! 2. Top marks. Whose been your player of the season and why (just a sentence) SRL. 3. Bottom of the class: Who has been the donkey/scapegoat/animal of your choice and why (just a sentence) Dan Harding, given the opportunity, could ruin my day out by just existing (I'm sure he's a lovely man and this is based on football ability alone). 4. How you rate Nigel Adkins' performance this season (just a sentence or two) Highly. A methodical man who has achieved something only 2 managers in the Championship can. A man who has learnt a vast amount about himself and those around him. He made mistakes but he has managed a team that has been promoted in 2 consecutive seasons. In NA I trust. 5. Best moment: Pretty straightforward (Could be a goal, a whole match, a signing, a particularly nice pie, whatever you like) (just a sentence) 25 minutes of beautiful football at Portman Road, 16/08/2012. 6. Worst moment: As above (just a sentence) Driving home from Birmingham ( scary as ....) or having to listen to the Brighton fans at The Amex. 7. Best fans: Which opposing fans made the best impression (just a sentence) Barnsley. Didn't understand a word of it but loved their commitment. 8. Worst fans: And who were the worst. (just a sentence) Millwall. Violent throwbacks. Read more: itsbeautifuloutside.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=4302#ixzz1tVwlVVah

1. Your reaction to the season? Try and summarise Saints season in a paragraph We had a charmed life, even when things weren't at their best we somehow stayed in the top 2, and then recovered. So pleased that we didn't fade away as many expected might happen. 2. Top marks. Whose been your player of the season and why (just a sentence) Anyone with an L in their name. 3. Bottom of the class: Who has been the donkey/scapegoat/animal of your choice and why (just a sentence) Except Jago Falque who had an L in his name, what a huge let down after a big build up. Bring back Anthony Pulis, he makes better tea. 4. How you rate Nigel Adkins' performance this season (just a sentence or two) He's a great planner, motivator and organiser. makes his own luck because of this. Gets players performing above their expected level. He is ready to step up to the PL 5. Best moment: Pretty straightforward (Could be a goal, a whole match, a signing, a particularly nice pie, whatever you like) (just a sentence) Hammonds goal against Leeds on the opening day made everyone believe we could compete in the Championship 6. Worst moment: As above (just a sentence) Portsmouth's late goal which cost us the title 7. Best fans: Which opposing fans made the best impression (just a sentence) Coventry gets my vote too 8. Worst fans: And who were the worst. (just a sentence) Plastics from Reading with their football supporters manuals in their pockets. i am not bitter, honest
