John Warrington: The Submarine Captain

FA Cup Final 2024



A bit of revenge on Man United after they beat us to the league title. We still have a Champions League final to play against them too. United really are the dominant team in England.



I'll take it but United fans will definitely feel hard done by. No treble for them!

Premier League Awards

Manager of the Year



This is a really bittersweet award win. I'm delighted obviously but I'd happily trade it for the Premier League title. Hopefully, we can go one better next season.

Player of the Year



Fair play to Gelson Martins, he was even better than last season! A worthy award winner in my eyes.

Golden Boot



A golden boot for Alexander Eggert. He's really improved over the course of the season and long may it continue.

Team of the Year



No surprise to see this dominated by Man United players. It's nice to see Eggert and Arana get recognition though.

Club Awards



Fans' Player of the Season

There was only going to be one winner of this in my eyes and the fans agreed. Alexander has been superb this season and he's really come of age now. I'm backing him to go from strength to strength and improve further still.

Goal of the Season

Signing of the Season

I'm happy that Romero won this as he deserves some recognition for the superb season he's had. Whilst he may not score as many as the others, he leads the way with assists and had the highest average rating in the team.

Young Player of the Season

Again, totally agree. See above.
