I suspect few will share my view but I don't have the same level of loathing to Odemwingie and Berahino that others may. Like nearly every one on here, i regard their behaviour as poor and incredibly stupid but I also believe that people make crap decisions for what they believe to be the right reasons and then have to live with their cock ups afterwards. For both of them, their decisions were pretty catastrophic for their own careers, and they had a seriously negative impact upon the Albion. However, I reckon all of us, at some point in our lives, have made some pretty bad calls which may have adversely affected others. What I do believe is that in Odemwingie we had a natural finisher who still is, I think, our top scorer in the PL and, in Berahino, an incredibly talented young player who scored some superb goals for us. They both made really bad decisions for which, as we say in Scotland, they got pelters but they also gave us some great moments and I think I'd rather remember those.
