I have only just discovered that our very own Robbie Keane scored the second highest amount of Premiership goals in the decade just gone - an excellent achievement from a player who is not even known to be an out and out goalscorer. Whatever way you slice it, that's an achievement that Robbie and we should be proud of and thought a thread of Robbie appreciation was deserved.
This is not a thread made to try and convince people he should be first choice for us now, it isn't at all, but it is saddening to see the abuse this man gets week in week out now from his so called supporters, the same supporters who should be eternally grateful for his contributions that have kept us in Premiership football and lead us into European football 3 times. If you want to see him gone then fine, this season is not about past records, but it's things like this that mean that should he go, he should leave with his head held high and with the gratitude of us fans rather than booted out the back door with disgust.
