Keane and Berbatov were on fire last season and Keano still got a 5 most weeks!
Keane played the majority as a left midfielder in a conventional 4-4-2, and later was switched into an "in the hole" position behind the strikers.
Overall, he did hardly anything except for score the penalty.
He doesn't really have the speed to play out wide, so he didn't really look himself.
Scored against liverpool today.
Never guessed that would happen. Fair play to him.Quote:

I feel for him sometimes.. He's a lot of dignity and loves playing for Ireland... Loves Playing full stop..... But he doesn't do public speaking at all!!!!
Nice guy and probably will only be valued by some when he retires, his record will stand for a long long time. On the PR side, he didnt do a bad job of things on the late late the other nightQuote:

I saw match of the day last night, but couldn't really make out what kind of reception he got at anfield. Was he welcomed?
Massive fan and imo doesnt get the recognition that he deserves. Fantastic player for us and a role model to kids. Yes he may annoy us with his waving hands antics every now and then but his record speaks for himself and as I said above, I believe the guy will only be truly valued when he is solely missed when he retires. As for the point re his son, ya agree fantastic.Quote:

He has a great goalscoring record for spurs against the pool.Quote:

Lets hope his goal draws a line under this saga and he gets back to his pre-LFC form next season. I think Spurs could do well next season.
I'd say his Autobiography is gonna be worth a read too when he's finnished...
Inter, leeds, liverpool, Saipan,
He was roundly applauded when he didn't celebrate scoring. He gave a little clap to the KOP in appreciation of this. By little i mean he was in two minds if they were actually applauding him. When he miss hit one in the first half the KOP "joking" geered him and he started laughing and took it well. I have to agree it was a sensible move for both parties last summer based on his goal scoring record but once the manager turned against him he had to go for his own sake.Quote:

No cause then he would have looked sad and Spurs were losing 2-1 at the time and ended up losing 3-1. d
I agree, he had nothing to gain by it at all. In fact he showed what a true good character he is on sunday. Its been a tough year for him and its a monkey he will never get off his back but he has dealt with the situation as best as he possibly could and I hope he has a better year next year with Spurs.Quote:

Very nice:D
I think most fans on the ground recognise his contribution to the club in the appallingly short time he spent on the pitch and at the club.Quote:

To score 10 goals when the league's top scorer failed to get 20 is still a solid scoring rate, and his ability to do it year in, year out for club and country, shows the quality he has.
Keane should have celebrated and enjoyed the goal with the Spurs' faithful. He doesn't owe Liverpool anything, he should have gone to the fans.
Exactly. The club treated him like a piece of trash. The club captain (Stevie Me) was blabbing around the City just before Christmas about how Keane was on the way out - Lawro let the cat out of the bag on that one and had to backtrack. Keane could have done a job for the rat if given a season but even when he played well he was dropped for the following game. What kind of man management is that?Quote:

Yeah i am sure Benitez was pig sick that Robbie scored. I'd say he couldn't sleep Sunday night afterwards:rolleyes:Quote:

Against Spurs, he plays Robbie Keane onside when Robbie breaks, and is at fault IMO for the goal.

both times keano scored 2 goals in games against bolton and WBA and both times the next game he was dropped, rafa wanted him to lose confidence and play badly i believe. must have never wanted him there and did all he could to make him look bad....this is a man who plays his love child kuty in every game, a player that i wouldnt let lace robbies boots.
