@King Eric actually I used to think the same thing until I bought a pair of umbros. They are by far the best fitting, lightest boots I have ever owned...they don't look as nice as the addidas, puma, nike but they shure are comfortable...

cdonyi - Are they? I didn't know that mate, just never liked the brand at all but to be fair some of our shirts were nice. My favourite make is Adidas.

adidas are the nuts, predators or copas although i'm not into this multi coloured bollocks, a pair of black preds are all a man needs on the football field

Umbros used to be my boot of choice.
Think I might go for a pair of preds this year if I make a team! Unless anyone has any other advice?

I don't care what he's wearing as long as he's scoring goals for us.

But, that said, Specialis are class. Great boots. They've come up with a line of them now, so there is a variety of levels, but the top end ones are still superb boots.

Ulster Red - No.

Puma Kings are quality boots. I like the old Adidas World Cup 82. Plain black and white with white, red and black soles.

Haha ..
Off topic.
Manchester is burglary capital of UK?! WTF? And the funny part is Liverpool aint even on the list.

Are all those rumours about buying Silva true? Or is it just Newspaper bullshit.

@sketch
im gonna side with bullshit but you never know really
ya see with owen how sir alex rang him on saturday evening breakfast sunday signed monday
so some fella with a newspaper under his armpit ringing a phone in show aboout a signing on "wednesday night" is not really the same as a managers press conference

So St Michael swears, well, fuck my old boots and rub them with dubbin, who'd have thought it? As for my boots, I swear by Adidas, or I did till I got my groin strain. Now I just swear.

In unrelated stuff, I finally got round to reading this http://soccernet.espn.go.com/feature?id=664864&sec=europe&cc=4716 about Deisler. Makes me appreciate more how the boss and the club protects our young players from these things.

I always don the Adidas Predators for the big stage...

...but Umbro are the most capable and effective

(Kinda like how most men - in terms of girls - would go for a 'beauty' over a 'brainy')

I wouldn't mind if Valencia would let David Silva stay at Old Trafford after the game on Wednesday :)

Valencia will not him saty at OT mate, not when he's in direct competition with his position in our line-up! :)

Started off wearing Reebok Sidewinder boots like Giggsy when I was younger. Then had numerous Adidas predators and a couple of pairs of F30's. Then over the past couple of years have been drawn to the Puma speed range as I wasn't really enjoying the latest range of Predators.

Currently use 2 x Puma v1.08 and Adidas F30 for soft ground.

I highly recommend all puma boots at the moment though.

Does anyone really know anything about "playing" football here!!??? Umbro Speciali are amazing boots. I've had many pairs of them and the comfort is like nothing else. They don't have the marketing or gimicks like nike or addidas, but they are almost perfect. The build quality is amazing. I use Addidas copa mundials as my foot shapes is better suited. But guys, these are far superior to most contempory flash crap. Speciali are made in Italy, Copa's are made in Germany and most other boots are made by under paid kids in places like indonesia and just about ok.
If you doubt it go try a pair on.
Best boots ever made:
Addidas Copa Mundials
Puma Kings
Umbro Speciali

"Shearer's C.I.D. Owen is junior C.I.D." I don't agree with this sentiment and Michael is sure to go to the World Cup with England after joining United.
