February 23rd, 2009 by James Evans | Comment

The Umbro SX Valor boot is rapidly being regarded as a leading contender for the Boots Wars crown, and another of its wearers – Chelsea’s John Terry – will be looking for optimal performance as the season nears its climax.

Boot Wars: A Corker at the Cottage?

February 20th, 2009 by James Evans | Comment

Koren certainly has the tricks to make Hangeland’s day at the office difficult, so while Fulham may start this match in the box-seat, don’t be surprised if the visitors create a chance or two.

Boot Boffins: Care In The (Boot) Community?

January 22nd, 2009 by James Evans | Comment

Shaun from Exeter asked:
Hi Ransacker. Help me out – I’ve got a pair of Umbro SX Valor football boots.. the second pair I’ve had in under a year. The first, by my own admission, I treated pretty badly, rarely cleaned them, and kept them outside. They ended up cracking in places and were a bit [...]

Boot Wars Review: Defoe’s Destiny

January 19th, 2009 by James Evans | Comment

It just had to happen. After all the furore of the past few days, Jermain Defoe’s goalscoring return to action at the Lane, and against former club Portsmouth no less, was as predictable as AC Milan finally realising that they might do well to seriously consider accepting Man City’s multi-millions… how many Ronaldos could you [...]

Boot Wars Review.. United They Stand

January 12th, 2009 by James Evans | Comment

Abramovich has got his wish! He sacked Avram Grant (and the Special One before him) because Chelsea weren’t entertaining enough, well they sure are now… to the rest of the Premier League.
Sunday was a great example of a team seemingly lost in the mire, and as for Boot Wars, maybe the most conclusive victory yet, [...]

Boot Wars: Curtain up at the Theatre..

January 9th, 2009 by James Evans | Comment

With every passing weekend, another top-flight clash to savour.
As if this six-pointer isn’t exciting enough, we have found ourselves confronted with a Premier League season in which neither of these clubs is the top dog, so while the red/blue saga of recent years has been exciting, we have new levels of pulse-racing to contend with, [...]

Boot Wars: Saints Up For The Cup..

January 3rd, 2009 by James Evans | Comment

You know, it’s not so long ago that Southampton were plundering six goals past Manchester United. Wind back another few years and you’d find the Saints a regular fixture in the top division’s top four.
How times change. While United have continued to steer an unerring course at the very peak of footy finesse, the Saints [...]

Boot Wars Review: Genius Jenas ..

December 9th, 2008 by James Evans | Comment

A dominant midfield display by Spurs’ Jermaine Jenas, wearing a pair of no-nonsense Puma V1.08 Olympian blue football boots ensured the Redknapp revival continued at the expense of West Ham United, and in particular Craig Bellamy, who was outfought and outgunned on a night when the Nike Mercurial Vapor IV boots just didn’t cut it.
That [...]

Boot Wars Review: Ropey Reina Gets Lucky

November 17th, 2008 by James Evans | Comment

Our first ever Ransacker tussle of the shot-stoppers presented itself on Saturday lunchtime, with Bolton’s Jussi Jaaskelainen and Liverpool’s Pepe Reina offering up a Boot War that might have been as much about gloves as cleats.
At first glance, Liverpool’s 2-0 win might suggest that Reina – sporting a pair of fine Adidas Predators so as to [...]
