FireBox Deal Of The Day: Mr Soccer Robot Football �14.97 + P&P

It's frustrating being a post-millennial football fan. Topsy turvy teamsheets, managers who can't make their minds up, players who seem more interested in scoring off the pitch than on it, not to mention egotistical referees who flounce about brandishing cards like Paul Daniels on steroids.

Maybe that's why we were so impressed by the new and exclusive signing to Firebox Utd., Mr Soccer, as this hi-tech footie game is played by RC robots that do exactly what they're told. And the person doing the telling is you! The idea is to manoeuvre your dribbling droids around the pitch via a nifty transmitter. Using the controller's forward, reverse, left, right and shoot buttons the object is to score more goals than your opponent. Yes, we know that's flippin' obvious, but judging by some recent international performances we thought it was worth reiterating.
