Well here it is, the presentation ceremony for the BigSoccer 2007 boot awards. This year has seen more infighting than ever as the sexual tension between Case and appleCORR7 hots up, as well as me doing a very good impression of Michael Owen with my chronic knee dislocations. We also had the whole Niketalaria incident, as well as a few other highlights from here nor there. Long may it continue!

The results follow, and if you don't like it don't blame me, you voted for it!

Now I ain't vote so diddy wud say im dead, but surely the diadora maracana is ineligible for the value boot given the initial description for the category?!?! Wasn't it boots rrp £60 or less or summit?
The 2006 Pumas win 2007 boot of the year.....
The most slated colorway "snots" goes from worst to first as the closeted bandwagon of BS78 eventually comes out...
The PS Preds are about as popular as a sensible appointment suggestion in the England FA's office...

How on earth did the PowerSwerve get talaria ripoff of the year?

...it didn't get it. It came second.

Sorry...how was it second then? I see absolutely no resemblance...Talaria is all about speed, PowerSwerve is all about Power...it's even in the boot's name...The SprintFit should've definitely got at least 2nd IMO.

Ok, urm, you totally misunderstood it being named the "Niketalaria Rip Off of the Year award" so please just leave it at that and stop digging your hole deeper.

Okay sorry then. What do you mean by it? I thought it was supposed to be a category for the boots that other companies designed in order to be their version of the Mercurial Vapor but were so bad that they ended up being worse than the Talaria. What's the actual meaning of the category?

Sorry but this is my first year with the boot awards.

All I will say is look for the user Niketalaria. All the answers will follow.

We all don't want to get into this again really because its been sorted out now and its in the past.

Basically, he ripped people off by selling boots which never got sent out or he brought boots off ppl and never sent the money.

So there, people know why that was the title for one of the awards. Lets just leave it at that now.
