A mixture of many things already mentioned. The emergence of Luke Shaw and Artur Boruc plugged the two major weakspots in the team. Jack Cork's return solidified the midfield and the pressing style Pochettino employs has extracted the absolute best out of our players. Piece by piece we have improved in every respect since the start of the year.

I would go even further back and say Huddersfield at home. 28th December 2010. We were 1-0 down and being given a bit of a lesson by a very confident Huddersfield side. We had conceeded early, Lee Novak heading one in on 15 minutes, but the real moment came when Scott Arfield missed a sitter shortly afterwards. From then on we went rampant. Goals from Lambert and Chamberlain on 28 and 32 minutes gave us the lead. With the game turned on it's head we controlled the second half and thanks to goals from Jaidi and Chaplow we prevailed as 4-1 victors. The win took us into the top 6 for the first time that year and started us on a 12 month run of being unbeaten at home in the league. That was the moment for me when our momentum took a devestatingly upward turn.

Maguire I think. That was a stunning hit..... It was. Just saying.

From Europe to Obscurity. The Skate demise chronicles.

To be fair to Danny Fox, he's no Olivier Bernard.

Alan Shearer: "Vorm just drops it."

Language is about understanding. And it is on that basis that I think we should give Poch all the time in the world to get comfortable with English. Lets not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Bitter at missing out on the gig.... I don't hold it against him.

Don't forget Poortvliet... He really did talk some utter ****.

Trolling is as trolling does. You are never right, just accept it, grab a cold one and breathe.

It is possible, but I still don't think we should be too greedy. Our mission this season has been accomplished.

He can already speak reasonable english. It's all a media facade.

A 0.1% chance of relegation. One in a thousand. We are safe.

Surfaced to show his ignorance about all things Saints in a thread about Esteban Granero a few days ago. He's probably loitering somewhere.

Because the football league are an inconsistently managed old boy's club.

That has done it, the 1-1 draw sees the Cherries up. Looking forward to that fixture against Leeds United already!

Taken from the BBC match report from today. There's no way of dressing it up. He has utterly failed as QPR manager.

Absolutely not. His agent has already spoken out anyway. There is a plan and his lack of action is not a surprise.

He is a great escape artist. Escaping from situations that do not suit him anyway....

Oh, but they love being regarded as such.

Exactly what a back-up player needs to do.

They've had a day in the sun, I won't begrudge them that. They need to be careful what they cheer for.

Large strip of land stretching from Thanet to Land's End, shared by many settlements and football clubs. It's not for everyone, but it's a very definitive point of reference.

The commentator mentioned that Mayuka had been told by Pochettino that he needed to work harder in order to be in contention for a first team chance. On that basis it would seem that Poch sees something in him.

Absolutely, hope it gets confirmed with the Hartlepool v Brentford fixture this evening. The battle between them and Brighton for 'second place' on the South Coast next season will be very interesting
