The most expensive football boots in the world
The most expensive football boots ever come with a fittingly interesting story. You may think they’d be Stanley Matthews’ (the Lionel Messi of the mid 20th century) old pair, or perhaps a golden pair made for an Arab billionaire. But no, in reality, they have a much less extravagant history. Rio Ferdinand owned the world’s most expensive football boots You’d be forgiven in thinking that Lion...[Read More]
Can football boots cause or prevent injury and can they be dangerous?
When it comes to dangerous things in this world, many would first think of weapons such as knives, guns and an angrily thrown Xbox controller. Few would suggest football boots – apart from maybe David Beckham following that infamous moment where Fergie kicked a boot above the Englishman’s eye. But can certain boots prevent, or more importantly, cause injury, and can they even be dangerous? A...[Read More]
Boot of the week – Game week #5
Ah that’s refreshing. Like jumping into a pool on a hot day, the Premier League returned from the international break with a splash and made us all feel very nice. Liverpool shortened their odds to win the league, Fulham broke this season’s record for holding out against City and Eden Hazard made us all take a good hard look at ourselves and question how we deserve to share this earth with someone...[Read More]

Adidas released not too long ago the Predator 18.1 football boots in the old school red and black colourway. Okay, we’re very excited. Very, very excited. Why are we excited for them? Nostalgia, that’s why. Back in the day, every kid watched David Beckham bend free-kicks in wearing his Predators, and if you were lucky enough to persuade your mum to take you on a trip to Sport Direct (or JJB Sport...[Read More]
Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 (Wave Runner) Review: Can you wear them for sport?
Kayne West’s new Yeezy Boost Wave Runner 700s have been released, and people are excited about them, really bloody excited. But you’ll have to buy a pair quickly because they’re likely to sell out just like the hugely popular boosts that have been released before these. Is it the power of Kanye West’s designer eye? Is it that huge celebs like Kim Kardashian and Calvin Harris are fans of the footwe...[Read More]
We find out whether Red Bull gives you wings and whether it's good or bad for you

Boot of the week – Game week #4
When I go on a summer holiday, I want the weather to be as terrible as environmentally possible the week before I leave. Why? So when I step off that plane, that golden sun beaming down on me feels even more bliss. This is similar to the situation that we found ourselves in this weekend, but in reverse. Nobody likes an international break more than the Premier League, so we could only hope that th...[Read More]
Boot of the week – Game week #3
Interesting ** scratches non-existent beard slowly.** Very interesting. It’s safe to say we learned a lot from what this weekend’s football had to offer. It may not have carried as much drama as usual, but as the game weeks go by, more and more pieces of the puzzle of how this season is going to turn out are revealed. Our rundown of all the action for game week 3 Wolves maybe are the real de...[Read More]

Boot of the week – Game week #2
UN. BE. LIEVABLE. What a week it has been in the Premier League. Harry Kane actually scored in the month of August, Chelsea and Arsenal proved that attack is not the best form of defence, Benjamin Mendy increased his Fantasy-Football price tenfold and Jose Mourinho got one step closer to having (what seems like) an inevitable meltdown. Our rundown of all the action for game week 2 Kane is actually...[Read More]
Premier League season predictions
After a dramatic, surprising but also entirely brilliant Fifa World Cup, the 2018/2019 Premier League season is already upon us. All media outlets seem to say the same thing every year; ‘This season is going to be the best yet.’ So call us sellouts. Say we’re jumping on the bandwagon. They’re both true, but we do really think this season will be IMMENSE. Some might even say it’s going to be ...[Read More]
Adidas Nemeziz Messi 18.1 Boots Review (Messi’s boots)
Having your own banded boots doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re an absolute world-beater in the footballing world. No disrespect to the Portuguese defender, but Pepe has personalised boots… Pepe. In Lionel Messi’s case though, he is more than worth a personalised edition of the Adidas Nemeziz boots. So after a stupid amount of goals, trophies and awards (we would list exact figures a...[Read More]
