Lars A would not say that if he had played with a rain-soaked leather ball, as we did in the 50s and 60s! Then, heading the ball was a shortcut to concusion -- and as for metres per second . . . !

I have played with the old one as well as this one. Minimal difference. It looks cool though." mate your not a pro footballer so i doubt you would be able to tell the difference, most of them can smash a ball at 50mph plus, so go ask kaka, torres, gerrard, fabrigas,riise, lampard ect ect ect how much of a difference there is.

On an other note I just found out that you can watch Sky Sports on Sky Player and its free if you have Multiroom.

Saying that - did you see Rodallega's effort? Plus how many long range efforts did you see from Fabregas and Denilson before this game? The Prem clubs all get to train/play with the ball over summer, and many of the stars Nike have on board say it is the best ball they've ever used... All i'm saying is that it looks like they know that it is easier to 'have a dig' than ever before... guess next weekend will prove it...

This is absolutely ridiculous; a ball is a ball. Bringing out a new ball every year is the same reason why teams get new kits every 1-2 years: to sell and make money.
