The cosmic scriptwriters must be rubbing their hands in cliché-ridden glee. Robbie Keane has gone back from whence he came, after being treated no less than shabbily by the arrogant and misfiring Rafa Benítez. Will Robbie score against Liverpool at Anfield on the last day of the season? Could that goal decide the title?
No.
For a start, words like "could" or "may" should be banned from any article or news item because it produces nothing more than unnecessary hot air, keeps second-rate hacks in a job and only provides talking points for fence-sitters who revel in the banal.
And in the case of this year's Premier League season, by that stage Manchester United will already be champions, with Liverpool seven to ten points behind and looking over the shoulders of nothing more substantial than goal difference at Arsenal and Aston Villa. If anything, a Robbie Keane goal will decide nothing more than whether Liverpool will play in the Champions' League or the Europa Cup.
Of course, there would be one inescapable aspect to any goal Robbie Keane scored at Anfield. Keane will say the same as any other footballer, that the team and the victory are much more important than the individual, but he would not be human if a goal did not fill him with a deep personal satisfaction.
