Just noticed that Andy was wearing Umbro boots today and has been for the last 3 games. He was adidas before... he got himself a new deal?

 

Probably trying to be like Shearer who also wore Umbros.

Umbro Specialis; THE best most stylish boots ever; I wore nothing but during my school and boys club career. Shearer wore them so naturally I had to aswell. :coolsmiley:

I'm hoping you wore other clothes as well.  Catholic school?

Regarding where he could improve: could work on his long-range shooting a bit, would add a lot to his game.  Other than that he's really getting there man.

 

Totally incredible how much he's progressed in the last 12 months.  I had him down as a workhorse for a good while.  Can remember him being excellent at West Brom first game last season and then looking like a bit of a clogger until Christmas.

Yup got these, too. Legend series one. Got 'em because James Milner wore them.  :facepalm:

 

A couple of studs fell off so I'm using Sambas till I get some new ones. Thinking about Umbros now.  :aww:

I think it's the most I've ever seen a player come on in the space of a year.

 

Maybe Bale, but he's just sort of recovered from a slump in a promising career. I never had Carroll down to be anything remotely decent, at 21 he's already far exceeded expectations I had for him.

Aye its not that long ago that I had him down as not ever going to be good enough and that we should get shot so I am incredibly happy to have been proved wrong!

Re the boots debate; if you are of the generation of mid to late twenties then wearing Umbro Specialis during your school/boys club career showed that you were not only a player of great skill and ability but that you were also understatedly stylish, which was something the Predator fanboys never grasped.

Shearer was the only decent player who wore them, and at the time he was at Blackburn and hated everything associated with him. Ginola, Ferdinand and Ronaldo on the other hand, with their Tiempos.  :smitten:

Someone asked while watching the match about him. Asking if he's England material. I just said, potential, still a lot of work to do. And then he went and pulled a performance out like that.

 

If he can keep that sort of level of performance going then there's no doubt he deserves a shot with England.

He just needs that reminder now and again that his place isn't guaranteed. It's twice now he's smashed in with some terrific performances, the earlier time being when we brought Best in. Shola's been getting the nod recently and he's kicked on again, great attitude.
