So many incidents to choose from in what eventually turned out to be a fairly comfortable campaign - even if we could scarcely win at home.
Obvious examples include Andros's crackers v City and Burnley and, on a lower-key note, his miss at Old Trafford when it looked like we might finally beat "that lot" for the first time in the Prem.
Among my other enduring memories are those wonderful wins at Turf Moor, the King Power and the Emirates, the first of our goals at Anfield, Luka's remarkable calmness from the spot all season (bar Everton) and the Doncaster trip, albeit more memorable for the fans than for the performance on the pitch.
But I have to say, having watched it back many times since Sunday, that Wilf's magical run after being wound up by Howe's thugs pretty much topped them all. A moment of pure last-day brilliance that had everyone on their feet as our talisman gained full and final retribution to send us all home smiling.
The chorus of "He's just too good for you" which followed was brimming with pure passion, truth and justified vengeance from everyone with a red and blue heart. Not to mention how hilarious it was watching him fly past their defence. :D
Of course there were also several moments that should perhaps be instantly consigned to the dustbin of history. Those misses at Watford and against Newcastle that could have changed the complexion of our early season, Macca's mess-up from two yards (the details don't come readily to mind), and the defeats against, well, you know who.
But all in all it's been fun, even if it didn't always feel like it at the time. Any other personal high/lowlights? I'm aware there are loads I've missed out.
