All football clubs with respect for themselves have a mascot, whether it is a young boy carrying the ball or a dressed up man. This week we take a look on the five best mascots.

5. Ever heard the story of the Wolf and the three little pigs? Well, I don't know if the story was on Wolverhampton Wanderes' mascot Wolfie's mind when he started fighting with the Bristol City Pigs.


4. The Danish team FC Midtjylland have a mascot named Lupus the Wolf. Lupus was once feared by the other mascots in the Danish Superliga as he "raped" and beheaded the mascot of Viborg, so the Danish football show Onside decided to send a frog to fight Lupus.


3. Most boys would be thrilled to shake hands with Steven Gerrard.... but not this young man.


2. The same matters for this young man, who takes it a step further


1. End then we have this Newcastle legend... He most be the son of a footballer... or spend too much time playing FIFA.

This week’s football list features five things we have learned from this seasons Premier League.










1.    Money can buy happiness

Manchester City’s almost has the budget to sign who they want, and they have done so. This has brought a championship to the blues from Manchester and congratulation to the club and their fans. Whether or not ‘buying’ a Premier League title is deserved, is another discussion. That said, Manchester City has shown some amazing football this season, and it has been worth watching.

2.    Arsenal needs their Dutchman

This may be Robin van Persie’s best season ever, with 30 goals. European clubs are standing ready to sign the Dutch if Arsenal fails to negotiate a new contract. However, van Persie is almost a saint on the level with Thierry Henry, for the Gunners fans, and I am sure Wenger will give him whatever he wants for staying. If not, he will have to build up a new team around a new player.




3.    Managing West Bromwich is enough for FA

He was not the fans favorite, and looks like a panic signing by the FA. Roy Hodgson is the man, signed to bring glory to England in this summer’s EURO 2012. Indeed, he has done a great job in West Bromwich and has surprised everyone by ending the season on the 10th. However, the manager has never won any serious glory, and I doubt he will do it with England. 



4.    John Terry is a racist

Or at least that is what the FA means. John Terry may have said some racist words to Anton Ferdinand, but no one knows for sure. If he is guilty, he needs to be punished no doubt about it. However, FA’s decision to penalty the Chelsea defender, by sacking him as captain for England, before the trial is even started is terrible. Not only is it a direct sign of saying, "you did it!" to Terry, they also lost a great manager. Good job FA (read: sarcasm)

5.    Newcastle knows how to shop

Two signings, £10m spent, 29 goals scored and two men in the top ten of the Premier League top scorer list. That is the cold, hard fact of Newcastle’s signings of Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse. Who will the Magpies sign next? I am waiting, for them to bring the next profile to the Premier League. Come one guys, I know you can!
