After two wins in a week, it is almost difficult to remember the horrific form we were on this time last week. After a professional performance against Blackburn we thrashed Bolton 4 1 on their own patch. The performance was not dissimilar to those earlier in the season, and goals from Modric, Van der Vaart and Adebayor with two gave us all three points. We are back up into fourth, just one point behind Arsenal, who have two potentially tricky games left. On top of that Redknapp is out of the running for the England job and the strain that was placed on the team by him being linked seems to have been lifted. Van der Vaart has made it clear how glad he and the other players are that Redknapp will be sticking around, and if Redknapp can keep Bale, Modric, Van der Vaart and co at the club then even those who remain skeptical about his abilities, myself included, should get behind him, as this summer is a vital one. Hopefully, we can win the last two games and Arsenal slip up, if we finish 3rd, or even 4th and manage to still get into the Champions League then Redknapp has done a good job this season, and as I have always maintained, he should ultimately be judged on our end of season finish. On top of that Walker has signed a new contract keeping him at the club until 2017, and it looks as though Kaboul may be the next to sign a new contract.
So could it finally be that the good times are back at the Lane?
