Around The Grounds #10

Manchester United lost 6-1 to Tottenham, Liverpool lost 7-2 to Aston Villa. To say things are getting a bit mad in 2020 is an understatement. Wow. There’s only one place to start this week and it’s at Villa Park.

When Ollie Watkins joined Aston Villa for a club-record £28 million fee from Brentford, we didn’t think so early in his Premier League career he’d get off to such a flying start! Watkins scored a first-half hat trick rocking the Daybreak pack Phantom GT Low’s as Villa stormed to a 7-2 win of title favourites Liverpool.

Not a bad way to get off the mark, playing a pivotal role in Liverpool's heaviest defeat in 57 years which was also the first time in Premier League history a reigning champion had conceded 7 goals in a single match. Just crazy – and awesome for the neutral fan watching.

Liverpool with a lot of work to do to prepare for one of the biggest Merseyside Derby’s in a long, long time which comes up straight after the international break.

We love that fact that the Safari Pack is still on pitch. It was one hell of a release after all. Nicolas Pepe scored the winning goal against Sheffield United rocking the Mercurial Vapor option from the Safari Pack, bounding down on goal from the wing with scintillating speed even peak Cristiano Ronaldo would have been proud of. The finish at pace into the bottom corner was as class as the boots on his feet.

Robert Lewandowski – Phantom VNM

In a surprise, Robert Lewandowski went back to his epic Future DNA Phantom VNM’s against Hertha Berlin, and just like old times back in the 2019/20 season – he scored goals. 4 goals. What a player and what a stunning pair of boots we wish we could restock. If you got some from us when they dropped, good on you! You made an excellent choice.

It’s international break this week and a look at Argentina’s training revealed something special. Paulo Dybala has been rocking a blackout pair of adidas Copa's which we can’t wait to share with you. Copa’s finest athlete is about to be tearing up Serie A in a new pair of Copa’s and we rate them highly. Stay tuned fans of the Three Stripes!

This one is a bit of a disclaimer as we know how many of you have been asking. The boots Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and our very own GOAT Sam Kerr will be wearing, Dream Speed 3 Mercurial Superfly, will not be making it down to the Pacific market due to issues out of our control. We are as disappointed as you but look forward to more exciting releases very soon.
