Halloween's a bust, everybody knows it. No one in their right mind would choose to spend there evening doling out Haribo to teenage scrotes in 99p masks for fear of having their premises covered in egg and toilet paper but a theme's a theme and we're going to run with it.

It's Halloween weekend and FC Tokyo's mascot, Tokyo Dorompa (seen above) dressed to the theme at a J-League match two days ago. Vale vale vale, the outfit looks like it was put together in less than 10 minutes, but you know Dorompa wanted all the attention to be on him.

The less said about today's result the better. I'm not suggesting we should be dismayed or in any way embarrassed far from it, Wolves looked a competent side with some talented lads. What I mean is, the 5-2 scoreline masks what was actually a closely contested game played at a high tempo and in [..

Why Kenwright has got it so wrong at Everton

Evertonians are proud to tell you they don't do protest marches. And they'd rather wear Stevie G masks than wave black-and-scarlet scarfs, in recognition of the club's Victorian colours, as an economic threat to their owners.

While ATLETICO DE MADRID, via their owners, keep their "Pinocchio" masks on denying that current goalkeeper DE GEA & forward SERGIO AGUERO have alternative plans other than with Atletico, local Spanish Football news indicates all the contrary. Apart from the fact that Atletico de Madrid is badly managed overall, or if at all well it is managed for other reasons far from Football, the Clubs

The last time the Austrian Bundesliga was of true mainstream relevance...

...Googling...

...still don't know. It's isn't the creme, that's for sure, and the smaller leagues are often made more inconspicuous when there is a dominant power, even if that dominant powder can be found in your local grocer's.

It hasn't been a great week for Spanish football in terms of both its image and its progress, but maybe I'm being a shade conservative these days. Come Tuesday night and the European continent, nay the world, will be focused again on the final act in the four-part drama, and the event might be comedy, tragedy or the theatre of the absurd.

I took a wander from my apartment here on Monday and one of the first people I saw was Ronaldinho, sitting enjoying a leisurely beer in a temporary break from the revelries of Carnaval. Seated to his right was another Ronaldinho, doing the same thing. On his left, yet another ...
In truth, they were all just people wearing Ronaldinho masks, one of the big hits of this year's festivities.

Flamengo fans celebrated Ronaldinho's return to Brazilian soccer after 10 seasons in Europe by donning Ronaldinho masks, waving his pictures and chanting his name. The Sao Paulo stadium was packed with 40,000 fans who keenly watched Ronaldinho's every move and cheered ever time he took part in the action.

Two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, and World Cup winner Ronaldinho has parted ways with Italian megaclub AC Milan, and joined popular Brazilian side Flamengo. The maestro was greeted by a stampede of 20,000 crazy fans who tore down the stadium's gates to greet their new midfield maestro.

SAO PAULO, Brazil Ronaldinho left the field struggling for words to describe his emotions after his debut for Flamengo and return to Brazilian soccer. The 30-year-old forward helped Flamengo defeat Nova Iguacu 1-0 at a packed Engenhao stadium in the Rio de Janeiro state championship on Wednesday, marking his return to Brazilian soccer after [.

I did like this on QI... Apparently you can see an image of Lenin hidden in the Labour Party logo
Looks good I grant you...but then again consider the Ducks are all wearing dog masks funny doing the rounds
and even this (a bit of artistic license and the Americas can be made to look like a duck!

Rarely do we have the opportunity to offer thanks to the powers that be in football for addressing the issues that matter to us. We're still waiting for the ruling that abolishes base layers, for a start.
