Shit players should wear black fucking boots or more to the point, only exceptional players should wear coloured boots. Even Wilko had some ridiculously coloured boots on yesterday. Against Villa, only Begovic and Shawcross wore black boots and I knew we would get dicked. Coloured boots are for fancy dans and we haven't got time for fancy dans in our current mess. Each and every one of our players should be made to wear black boots between now and the end of the season. Do that, and we might just survive!

Maybe just maybe they are told what to wear by their boot sponser.

Agreed. Old skool is the way forward. Look at what Di Canio wears. Those multi colored fashion statements look ridiculous especially when worn by a below average player. Whoever came up with the idea of fluorescent coloured boots wants shooting.

Well the player should demand that they be made a BLACK pair by their boot sponsor PlanB. EDIT - N'zonzi was playing well right up to the point he ditched his black boots for those ridiculous alladin slippers that he is now wearing and Glenn Whelan was playing pretty well when he took to the field in his tried and trusted Copa Mundial boots. He switched to a lime green pair and his form turned to shit. He went back to black boots yesterday but not his old Copa Mundials. Coloured boots on shit players is a massive bug bear of mine and when the players come out of the tunnel, it is one of the first things I look for and I moan about it every week.

Why not make them wear dunce's caps? Different colours of course. But that would still piss you off, DJ. There are some moaning bastards on here. We're 16th FFS! OS.

At least I'm consistent with my moans. I have mentioned players in stupid boots before. I told you all that Cameron was shit ages ago and I also told you that Pulis was a useless twat about 7 years ago!

You telling me that Ryan Shotton and Wilko have a boot sponsor? Even Whelan?
If they do, they earn enough money and should tell their sponsor to fuck off. Wear the brand of their sponsor for sure but the boots have to be black going forward.
Look at KJ's performances when he wears black boots. He actually looks like he can kick the ball in his black boots (last seen v Crystal Palace at home) yet he can barely stand up in those ridiculous pale blue things he wore yesterday.

yeah, black boots and a tracksuit manager, old skool, when men were men,that's the way to go, isn't that the Jules Rimet trophy I can see there? Mind you a few cheeky white stripes on Martin Peters boots, start of the rot, they will be shaving their chests next and going all metrosexual next

Colored boots draw the opponents eyes to your feet. Thus the stepover, Cruyff turn etc is more effective because, apparently, the hips don't move. A good defender should look at his opponents hips to determine the direction the player will move in but colored boots are more likely to catch his eye and distract him.
So I've been told.
But players in colored boots still look like twats to me.

Boot racist. Too right. The correct term is 'non-black' boots.

Trouble is our players have no skill and can't even do a step over, the only thing we seem to have mastered is the fall over, Cameron has it nailed, wish he'd get some studs that actually stick in the ground,

Do you know what Mutters, when he played at right back yesterday, I thought Wilko was the only one that didn't aimlessly lump it. He actually tried to pick out the easy pass to Whelan, Adam or N'zonzi and more often than not, he was successful in doing so.
He still wore stupid boots which made him look like a right softy as well! ;-)

I'd go a step further and say players have to earn decent black boots, let alone coloured ones.
Every single player in our squad should be allowed nothing other than a pair of Golas on their feet for our next match.

I reckon the man of the match the week previous should be allowed to wear coloured boots, like the yellow top or whatever it is in cycling.

It's actually quite difficult to get hold of black boots these days. Black would always be my preference but I always end up with some yellow or bright white monstrosities.

The fact that black boots are difficult to come by is a very sorry indictment as well Potterlog.
I bought my little lad his first pair of football boots a few weeks ago. It was hard to get some black ones but I didn't buy any until I saw a pair of black Adidas boots that do the job absolutely perfectly.

The last time Walters played well (2011) I seem to remember him sporting a pair of red Pantofola D'oro's.
I am quite surprised that Pulis doesn't force all of our players to wear heavy black boots in order to make skill or pace even harder. Maybe with steel toe caps for extra hoofing power and super long studs to implant players into their positions so as to not lose their shape.
