"Captain Marvell" Bryan Robson... wheeled out right at the end to get just enough games for a league medal.

Your post wil be missed in all this confusion, but you're absolutely on the money.
Man Ure fans of a certain age will wax lyrically about Bryan Robson... best player they've ever seen.
Personally I thought he was way overratred, but he stuck with them through their "troubled" years and yes.... he got his just rewards at the end.
Part of me has always believed that Gerrard will win the Premiership Medal in his last season.
Oh... and it shoud be noted that he's been gash this season. I can'r think of a single game where he's been outstanding and I expect more than that from him,as someone conmsidered one of the best players in the world.

I saw Robson play live once or twice in his early days at West Brom, before he even went to ManUre, and he was quality even then - tough, brave and skilful. Sorry but there's no way he was overrated.
As far as Stevie G goes, IMO a lot depends on his fitness. With his ability and versatility he could play on for years yet, maybe moving into the back four in time. I'm not giving up on him lifting the trophy before his last season.
