In The Cat Corner

When STT was first started almost a year ago, there were two things that I promised myself I would never resort too; up-the-arse corner, and shit look-a-likes. However, while the below picture comes dangerously close to the former, I like to think I’ve just about side-stepped the bane of most half-baked football magazines and supposedly humourous blogs. You see, The Spoiler have taken the up-the-arse corner mentality and run with it to create a fantastical niche known only as ‘Sporno’. Some of the stuff is highly amusing, and much subtler than up-the-arse action shots.

Also, since the picture in question here features a mascot we can just about write it off as part of our WAG/mascot mantra. You can see Mexican outfit CF Pachuca’s excellent cat mascot showing his appreciation for Columbian keeper Miguel Calero’s on-pitch heroics by mounting him. Unfortunately for keepers throughout England, mascot antics tend to be limited to underwhelming t-shirt guns and fighting, but more would you expect from the only country in the world where ‘bottle’ is a verb?
