Expected more from you two guys,  you dissapoint me !

For example, that Spurs away game, he's sauntering around 30 odd yards out fannying on with it and in the blink of an eye looks like he's shaping to shoot, and the words are barely formed on our lips "why the fck are you shooting from there?..." and the ball is in the stanchion. Next few games he's lucky to hit Row P with any of his shots when there are better options around him throughout the game. An enigma, in a similar vein to LuaLua, Ameobi and Asprilla.</p> Yep, I’d go with that theory worky.

The most ridiculous posting is your very knowledgeable assertion that neither one has a footballing brain, can you explain how you came to that conclusion, watching you tube no doubt and can you then explain how two pretty good football players who play at the top level can do so without a footballing brain, sounds like an oxymoron to me. dont dig yourself a deeper hole. Yeah right pal.

That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.. Saying someone doesn't have a good footbal brain, doesn't imply that they are idiots.. They could be rocket scientists in their spare time for all I know. The only idiot that has proven themselves to be one is you Chuck..

Because it indicates they are both idiots who dont have a clue about the what they are going to do next, you further indicate that neither has a  footballing brain. C`mon we can all read between the lines. I take it you made these accusations based on personal knowledge of both players, i mean to accuse someone you have never met of being an idiot is in itself idiotic and the fact they are both Africans is merely by chance, eh ! sure pal. Why is it racist ?
