Rated 5 de 5 de Mrs J par Excellent buy I bought the trainers for my son and he love it, am glad I did,as the price was really really good buy.
Both teams will have reason to celebrate should they lift the year’s first piece of silverware, but Carling are putting the party in fan’s hands for the first time ever, as they give fans total control of Wembley Stadium during the first ever Customised Cup Final!
Pre-game, supporters will be asked to choose the song they would like to hear when their team lift the trophy and even put questions to club legends, in real time via Facebook.
During the game, control over how Wembley looks will be handed over, with fans choosing which information and messages of support should be displayed on the pitch-side boards, and show on the big screens the player they think is having the best game.
We grabbed a few words with Cardiff City promotion hero, former Welsh International and all-around top guy Andy Legg to see how he rated his team’s chances at Wembley this Sunday!
What’s your take on the ‘Customised’ Cup Final that Carling are planning for Liverpool and Cardiff this Year?
I think it’s great – getting the fans involved, sending in messages on the boards and even what music they want played when their team wins the Cup.
It’s definitely something that I’ve never heard of before – and I’m really looking forward to seeing how it works!
You’ll obviously be backing Cardiff – what song would you pick for the Bluebirds to lift the cup to?
I think they’ll know they’re not the favourites, but I don’t think it will effect how they approach the game.
They’ll be going in with the attitude that they’ve got nothing to lose – it’s different to the past few visits to Wembley over the years.
Looking at the FA Cup with Portsmouth a few years ago – maybe the hardcore fans expected them to win that game. But even the diehard Cardiff fans will go into this weekend expecting Liverpool to win, so the fans and players can go there and enjoy the game and enjoy the occasion.
Hopefully we can keep it tight throughout the game and nick a goal at the death. Birmingham did it against Arsenal last year, there’s no reason Cardiff can’t do the same!
For the neutrals who maybe are only familiar with the likes of Kenny Miller and Rob Earnshaw, who would you suggest keeping an eye on?
Whittingham in midfield is a very good player, exceptional vision and a great passer of the ball. But it’s very hard to pick out individuals – the team this year is exactly that, a team.
Speaking of the team, they’re in a great position in the Championship at the moment – will a trip to Wembley be the perfect confidence boost for the final push?
I hope so! There’s been a bit of a dip of late, and I think that might be down to the Carling Cup itself. I think the players have known they’ve got a trip to Wembley coming up and after they’ve all been – win or lose – they can get their feet on the ground and start working hard and start to pick up point in the league.
Promotion is the number one aim this season, but obviously when Malky (McKay) came in promotion wasn’t really on the cards. But now, because of where we are in the league, expectations have started to rise again.
We’re in with a shout at second or even first – but if we don’t get there hopefully they’ll be in the mix in the play-offs.
You’re a player who has experienced the Cardiff / Swansea rivalry from both sides – Will this final mean even more to the Cardiff fans with Swansea doing so will in the Premier League?
I think so, but it’s fair to say that a lot of Cardiff fans will be enjoying the way Swansea are playing football in the Premier League at the moment! And likewise, I’m sure there will be plenty of Swansea fans who will be wishing Cardiff the best for Sunday.
It’ll be good for Welsh football, too – the National team have been doing well recently, Swansea have been strong in one of the best leagues in the world and if Cardiff could win the Carling Cup it’d be really good for the Welsh game.
And finally – we are Footy-Boots.com so we have to ask – what are your all-time favourite boots from your playing days?

As we swiftly roll towards the end of the year, it’s a great time to look back on some of the best achievements in the footballing domain over the last 12 months – and where better than the summer’s World Cup in South Africa?
adidas held a ceremony last night to honour three players of the tournament, with Golden Boot for top scorer of FIFA World Cup went to Thomas Muller of Germany, the Golden Ball to Diego Forlan of Uruguay and the Golden Glove to FIFA World Cup to Iker Casillas of Spain.
We like to see adidas’ trophies for the tournaments that they’re involved in, as they always make the effort to make them resemble their latest bits of kit!
The Golden boot is a Predator_X, the Golden Ball a Jabulani and the Golden Glove a pair of Fingersaves – with great attention to detail paid to all of the trophies.
Uruguay’s Diego Forlan collects adidas Golden Ball trophy for the best player of the FIFA World Cup. Forlan netted five goals at the event and established himself as the most dangerous player on the pitch in each game he played.
FIFA World Cup winner Iker Casilas collected the adidas Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeping performance in South Africa. The Real Madrid star conceded only two goals throughout the tournament the first in Spain’s 1-0 defeat to Switzerland the other against Chile.
Thomas Muller of Germany collected the adidas Golden Boot for the top scorer of the FIFA World Cup. Muller netted five goals the same number as Diego Forlan of Uruguay, David Villa of Spain and Wesley Sneijder of the Netherlands but thanks to three assists , Muller claimed the trophy.
I would think that the golden boot would be an Adipure or an Adizero as they are used more by goal scorers than the Predator X
ahh saw this is what this was!? my friend saw an advert for this and told me that he thought casillas has switched to adidas as according to him the ad wast just the 3 players opening up boxes and looking happy lol
Hoping that Forlan will move to England in January so more is seen of him. Even though I do not support them, with Tevez looking out to be closer to home, a possible deal/swap?
Well the world cup awards when to 3 unexpected players if you ask me a new young talent a top goalkeeper but not best around going into the world cup and a x manchester united player flop that has proved himself in recent years. if i had to say who would take the awards before the tournament i would say julio Cesar of italy Argentinas Lionel Messi for best player and David villa for goals but proves how unpredictable football is now.
shocked wesley sneijder was not up there but is that to do with him wearing nikes?ghanas goalkeeper in my eyes did a bit more than casillas
I think there are other players that were as good as Forlan during the WC, but considering that Forlan had to support the whole team by himself makes him deserve it more. The Thophy Goalscorer’s trophy has always been Preds.
