Look Out! Here Comes a Spider-Man Celebration

↵
↵The big goings-on in the actual (if you want to call it that) world of Spider-Man is that Peter Parker has recently lost his job at the Daily Bugle. Sorry, Spidey: that’s the story of journalism right now. But at least his mask is getting some play on the soccer field. ↵↵Newcastle’s Jonas Gutierrez whipped out his friendly neighborhood mask after scoring in the team’s 6-1 win over Barnsley on Saturday. He had been waiting some time to execute his well-known celebration, since he neglected to do so following his first goal with Newcastle back in September. He had since sworn to use it after the next goal, even if it meant carrying the thing around in his jock strap during games. But then, that’s kind of similar to what Spiderman would have to do. Naturally, Gutierrez said it didn’t make for the most pleasant experience.↵

It didn’t smell very nice when I put it on but I had to do it.”↵↵↵Apparently, the celebration originated when a boy spotted the player in a movie theater and asked him to score a goal. It’s a shame the mask had nothing to do with a radioactive bug, because the use of webbing might not technically count as a hand ball. ↵
