Robbie Keane - loan now confirmed

[Californian Villain]

Yawn....if we got 38 points less than we did, we'd have...zero.

Jesus, thank you for Sandro's deflection.

[Bad English]

Jesus, cheers for Given's saves.

The three most outstanding instances of individuals almost single-handedly winning us vital points are Keane at Wolves and Gabby against Wigan and Norwich.

Not forgetting Weimann vs Fulham

I'm guessing Percy meant someone pulling a special goal out of the bag rather than just putting the ball in the net so I agree with him. Although Weimann's goal was obviously massively important.

I was thinking more in terms of a MOTM performance that dragged us through a whole game. From memory I think Gabby scored two and set up the other v Norwich and scored and set up the other v Wigan, while Keane's two great goals v Wolves turned it round from a losing position.

That's why I'm willing to be patient with Gabby. His game has gone, I don't know where, but he has been a match winner over the years, especially against some of the bigger clubs. I really don't know whats happened to him but a new manager might be abble to get him on track again.

It is a collective thing though. Imagine where we would have been without Bent getting 9 league goals, or without Dunne coming back and being colossal against Albion for that point..

In the early part of the season, I thought Gabby looked much improved as an all round footballer.

The latter part if the season, though, he has looked every bit as poor and uninterested as the rest of them.

Poor enough to be drummed out with the other big disappointments? Probably.

Does he have enough previous credit in the bank for another season to redeem himself?

Probably.
