Well it's taken me 10 days to get to this update so I guess not 
Might as well try to make this quick.
Allsvenskan

We were actually pretty rubbish for the last month but that just meant we squeaked out 1-0 wins instead of scoring 3 or 4.
Invincible season domestically, having won the Svenska Cupen as well, and we also broke the
Allsvenskan points record. That'll be a one & done then.
Europe:

Having made the semi finals of the Conference League at the start of the year we battled our way through qualifying to secure a spot in the Europa League this time round. We had a fairly average
set of fixtures, although I'm not a fan of starting with the two toughest games.
That's about what you'd expect, I guess, and it leaves us
towards the bottom of the playoff spots. There are still two league phase games left to play, but both of those are in the new year so hopefully I'll be gone by then.
Key Players:

The whole team graded out pretty well this season, as you'd expect from a team that didn't lose a domestic game all year, but the tippiest of tip top players were probably these guys:
Victor Edvardsen - absolutely smoked everyone all the way until the last month, when he died of exhaustion & we started to actually have to work for goals.
Viktor Bergh &
Lucas Agazzi - I finally got wingbacks to work \0/
Jamie Lawrence - started out as the middle CB in our back three, then moved to the right when I signed Olivier Aertssen on a free. He was a beast in both spots & started adding goals when I remembered to load my set pieces.
I should also give some love to a couple of guys at opposite ends of the pitch who were amazing but got sold in midseason.
Jacob Widdell Zetterstrom was a great GK for us, but when we got a
national record bid for him the board stepped in & he's now at Antwerp.
Evidence Makgopa, meanwhile, was smashing goals in at the same rate as Edvardsen for the first half of the season, but we let him go to Kobenhavn for a decent fee as he was getting grumbly.
Time to get my Xmas shopping done now the season is over & maybe I'll also book a trip abroad...
