Arsenal's maudlin mascot Gunnersaurus has come in for some stick on internet chat forums for joining in with his Arsenal brethren to honour Danny Fizsman and the victims of Hillsborough on Sunday. We found it to be an admirable display of raw emotion. As has been pointed out, Gunnersaurus's large emotional belly has been on display before. Here he is lining out in a memorial for David Rocastle.
It's time for mascot-lovers to stand up to the cynics. If you prick Gunnersaurus, does he not bleed? Arguably his presence in that memorial is no more laughable than Eboue's. We share the opinions of commenter Brendy below.
