They both play in the same colour shirts, I guess it must be easy for someone with the intelligence level of your average Palarse fan to get them confused.

A television sports presenter was found guilty yesterday of bombarding a football club chairman with an "avalanche" of lewd and threatening phone calls and text messages.
Tara Stout also sent Simon Jordan, the chairman of Crystal Palace, underwear, love letters and bills for shopping sprees after their brief relationship broke down.
She would fill his voicemail by reading a book down the phone, the court heard, and once left a message threatening to attack his mother and his nieces. She also posted his details on a websites for transvestites, giving him the name Susan.

Stout, who has worked for the BBC and Sky, claimed in turn that he had sent her indecent and insulting messages and taken his aggression out on her after his club lost a game. She also alleged that he took cocaine. He denied all her allegations.
Stout, 35, of Clapham, south London, denied two counts of harassment but was found guilty by district judge Quinton Purdy at City of Westminster magistrates court in central London.
Mr Jordan, 37, and Stout were stated to have met at the nightclub Pangea in the West End of London in March last year. But the relationship quickly foundered and she began harassing him, making as many as 200 calls a day to him.
Mr Jordan, a multimillionaire who lives in Spain, said his phone would ring constantly but he refused to change the number because he had had it for so long. He hired a security firm to protect him and his family and was advised to go to the police. In April, Stout was issued with a harassment warning but she ignored it and continued to contact Mr Jordan, which resulted in her being held in Holloway prison for five weeks.
Stout, who appeared in court in a tracksuit in Crystal Palace colours, denied sending as many messages as had been claimed but said she was in love with Mr Jordan. She admitted reading a law book into his voicemail and agreed it was "childish", but claimed Mr Jordan had behaved in a "schoolboy" manner to her. She also admitted threatening to slit Mr Jordan's throat and harm his mother and nieces, but added that she would never have carried out the threats.
Mr Jordan told the court Stout had begun to contact him about five months after their relationship ended. The calls "accelerated in volume and accelerated in intensity."
The judge granted a restraining order banning Stout from contacting Mr Jordan or his family and said he would sentence her after reports had been prepared. He said she had sent Mr Jordan an "avalanche" of voicemails and text messages, some clearly offensive, and some plainly inane. He said that Stout had used the court to air her grievances against Mr Jordan.
Stout previously hit the headlines when it was reported she swapped text messages with former England captain and BBC presenter Gary Lineker. After the guilty verdict, she said: "It is all a bit pathetic ... I would like to be allowed to go home."
Mr Jordan said: "Obviously I'm relieved it's over, but in spite of everything I feel very sorry for Tara, and in my view she needs help, not punishment. She had a very promising career, which she seems to have ruined, and I get no satisfaction from what's happened."
