No bee in my bonnet. I have enjoyed my team proving doubters wrong at every step (responding to a defeat/losing a player/playing a top side/etc.), but I don't think we weren't given enough credit - just look at the column inches around the world devoted to us.
Of course you would have taken third at the beginning of the season - that's irrelevant now though. You had us in your sights and blew it, you were ahead of your local rivals for the first time in a generation, with once game to go against a relegated team with 10 men, and blew it.
For the record, I would have been disappointed with anything but first from February onwards when we spanked Man City at their place. At the start of the season, I'd have taken 17th and been pleased with 12th. As the season progressed, we knew the top clubs were underperforming and this opportunity would be unlikely to come around again. Spurs were in a similar position, with a much better squad on paper, and fluffed their lines.
