In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
And you were around to see it I suppose, old git.
Not sure which pair to wear in our opening game of the Chester & District League Div 1 fixture against Neston Nomads...
Chester and District Football League

I was born in 1988, I started training at 5. I've never owned black boots.
Which pair tonight then for my game?
F10's or the T90's...(See last page)
Weather has been awful here today pissing it down so will be wet.
May the CAF decide.

barefoot
Good idea
I'd rather go barefoot than wear F10s.
Not to worry, I'm just a football boot snob.
Best boots ever made.
I have a pair of these
which I've had for about 18 months now.
And a pair of these:
Both good boots, preds are comfier, but I play better in the T90s strangely

Oi Spammy, i'm in the market for new boots and would appreciate your input. I tend to play upfront and am quite a skillful, quick little prick on the pitch. I've seen the new mercurials in the shop and they are stupid expensive so wouldn't get them unless you really rate them, in which case i probably still wouldn't get them.
If you are good, it does not matter what boots you have on. Its the skill in the feet that is much more important. I simply use whatever is the cheapest that I can get my hands on. Currently using a pair of Kronos bought for Singapore S$49.About 20 British pounds
Damn right - my last pair cost 9 quid in the clearance sale yet I'm still a quality player
The F10's did the trick last night with 2 assists in a 4-2 win.
Is correct.
Mine are tearing in the front, after not even one full season of using them. (ive used them for about 12-15 games now). What a shame.
Oh well, guess its back to predators for me.
On a side note, strangely enough the first place to go/tear on my boots are the front part of the instep - just on the inside of the big toe. Does this happen to anyone else/is this the norm? They always start eating grass first and eventually it tears.
Aye that's where the most wear and tear is, particularly if you play on dry or artificial surfaces.
Cool, thanks.
I play mainly on dry surfaces and obviously, when it rains, wet surfaces. So even though most of your passing, shooting are with other parts of the boot, it would always be the part suffering most wear and tear?
Well often when passing or striking the ball that's the bit that will drag along the ground, particularly on your standing foot.
Right, so forget all the gimps telling you to buy adidas world cups. If you're the speedy tricky type of player then you need boots to match.
First off, do you want speed boots, power boots or a mixture? What is your budget?
The adizeros are much more advanced than the mercurials, so if you are going to spend big I wouldn't recommend you get mercurials over adizeros. Adizeros are about £90 for the best version.
I quite like the look of the CTR360 Elites, but they are mega bucks. The lasers are brilliant boots but quite heavy and I wouldn't recommend them for a winger. Depends on how heavy you are willing to go. What have you had in the past?
I've had those for about 3 years now. I quite liked them but wouldn't mind something lighter. The lasers are the ones rooney and torres wear right? They cost about 160 quid here which is around about as much i want to spend, although i could stretch to 200 i suppose. The new mercurials are over 300 quid here, which is too much really.
Those are cool, if they are the pro edition. I have them in SG.
The Lasers are worn by Rooney and Torres yes, but Torres wears the standard while Rooney and players like Scholes wear the Elite (Red and silver/orange) versions which are about 17% lighter. They are much more expensive though. The CTR360s are like a hybrid of Lasers and Mercurials designed for control and precise passing, they also have Elite versions.

I'll have a look at the adizeros, ctr360 elites and laser elites then i guess. Cheers
Who do you play for Spam
One more thing, you don't need to try the lasers or the ctr360s on if you've had no problems with other Nikes over the years, but the adizeros need to be tried on to see if your feet are compatible, as they need a strong breaking in period, if they don't kill your feet when you first try them on and you break them in properly then it's like playing in a pair of slippers.
Liverpool u-17s.
I tried the blue lasers(well one boot) and it seemed decent. Was that the regular then, not the elite?
You seem to know all about boots so wondered who it actually was you played for
Yeah regular, the Elite has the carbon fibre sole plate and synth leather which reduces weight.
Liverpool u-17s.
Best boots ever made.
Had a pair of these (in the red colourway) - comfortable if a little chunky. Used to alternate between them and a pair of Nike R9s (that were to evolve into the Vapors) which were light and pacy but not as good as the preds for striking a ball.
What's your name then
Yeah alright I'll tell you my name...
You just seem to be one of these know it all people regarding football boots and I thought it would be interesting to see who you actually played for. If anyone.
I'm a county level player, I'm 26 so obviously I couldn't play for u-17s. It's a weird fetish thing rather than a professional necessity.
In fairness he is giving good advice Viva.
Lashed my boots
Well you win some and you lose some.
Can someone lend me £250?
