Why Ugandan fans hate Adebayor...

SIR - "Uncle, there's someone at the gate. He says his
name is ... " Unfortunately, he cannot enter Ugandan
hearts. How local fans view Emmanuel Adebayor was well
elaborated by Joseph Kabuleta's column in the January
issue. Allow me to add that it is because the Togolese
star misses simple chances and nets the impossible,
just like against West Ham on New Year's Day. That is
the price a genius pays for overlooking simple chances
fans expect him to execute. Good enough, the Gunners
have never lost when the talisman scored.
