Was it really only this time last week that we were looking back at losing to Newcastle and getting relegated?

I'm considering sending Smethwick a Thank You card considering what they've done for our confidence.  What a wonderful neighbourly gesture.

And the dreaded prospect of playing the mighty West Barcelona twice in 5 days.

Yeah but we can't play them anymore this season so are game plan is fucked! ;)

On a more serious note, the last week has been great, but we still have much work to do before we can consider ourselfs safe and/or dreaming of winning that bloody cup finally!

How many days before all the seats are destroyed in the away section?

"Can we play you twice a week" was one of the chants at the end

It certainly has been a great week when you consider how other results have gone for us as well.  We can go into the next two games with real confidence.

The other results bit is key for me. It would still have been a very good week without it, but not sitting in the bottom three helps immensely, and certainly psychologically. That we know if we do our bit on the pitch the other sides around us aren't going to suddenly change into something they are not and pull away. From that perspective it has been an excellent a week all round.

Spot on TV.  Two wins or even 4 points from the next two games could see us pull even further away.

What a superb week it's been. Let's hope we've turned a corner and end the season on a high.

In was about to mention that, given the fact that a lot of people were pissed, that was pretty sharp.

Sometimes it only takes one fortuitous moment to change the direction of a football club.  I'll always remember Kevin Brock's misplaced back-pass in 1984 that gifted Everton a League Cup equalizer and from then on their fortunes only went in one direction for a few silverware-laden seasons.  Perhaps in the seasons to come we'll look back at Ben Foster's last minute moment of madness as a similar turning point.
