There have been many emotions West Ham fans have gone through this season but for me the overriding feeling is pride.

The 3-3 draw with Arsenal may not have done anything for the Hammers’ chances of a top-four finish but the way West Ham approached the game was exactly what the fans have been craving.

West Ham have gone from a team that many a neutral would be loathed to want to watch to one of the most entertaining sides in the country. The fans were told that the Sam Allardyce reign was the best that West Ham could ever hope for and I am delighted that I can look on with a sense of smugness at just how wrong the media, other supporters and even fans of West Ham themselves have been.

Regarding former manager Allardyce it should be noted that since December 21, 2014 he has won just nine league games. That is a shocking statistic and Allardyce loves a stat.

The last five games have seen glaring mistakes from referees which has really put paid to any chance of a top-four finish. The penalty award at Chelsea probably irks me more than the others but if Mark Clatternburg hadn’t been so quick to send off Cheikhou Kouyaté against Crystal Palace that would have surely resulted in another victory.

I have been a season-ticket holder at West Ham for 19 years, this is without a doubt the best West Ham side I have ever seen and this has been the best season I have witnessed. The team plays with style, determination and have given me some wonderful days during the campaign.

Dimitri Payet has obviously dominated the headlines and received much of the plaudits which I fully understand as he is a quite remarkable footballer.

The displays from Michail Antonio, Manual Lanzini, Aaron Cresswell and of course Mark Noble have to also be acknowledged as their form has been magnificent.

The Arsenal game was a pulsating game which saw Andy Carroll absolutely destroy the Arsenal back line as he scored his first hat-trick in West Ham colours. I can only hope that Carroll is about to embark on a rich vein of goalscoring form from now until the end of the season which will surely see West Ham secure a top-six finish.

It has been a fitting season to end our time at the Boleyn Ground. As the months go on and the games get fewer I can’t help but have almost a shortness of breath when thinking about not going there anymore.

I am not vehemently against the move to the Olympic Stadium but leaving our home is a wrench and with it goes so many memories that induce a real sense of sadness and loss.

The last ever FA Cup match at Upton Park is against Manchester United tonight. Simply put, it is our biggest game since the Play Off Final in 2012. I pray we can keep this wonderful season going.
