Arsenal have been in the news for all the right reasons for much of this season thanks to an incredible season which has them top of the Premier League table and gunning for a first title in 19 years.
But things took something of a turn over the weekend when the Gunners were involved in a storm over their mascot for their home game with West Ham United. Arsenal let a two-goal lead slip for the second game in a row, to drop points in the title race with Manchester City.
Arsenal players were criticised in many quarters after the club posted a video on their social media channels of the first-team squad with a mascot ahead of the clash with the Hammers. The players were seen signing a shirt for the young person before heading into the changing room, but what annoyed many was the lack of player interaction with said mascot.
