Stokies are celebrating after England football manager Roy "Don't Call Me Woy" Hodgson called up Stoke City mascot Pottermiss for the upcoming England matches against San Marino and Poland.
It is the first time Pottermiss has been called up to represent her country, though it's likely she will be only a squad mascot for the matches.

However, Pottermus has once again been overlooked by Hodgson, much to the bewilderment of Stoke fans, despite having a good record as a mascot for England in the past, starting off celebrations at a rate of one every two matches.
"Pottermus is good, old fashioned mascot," says Daily Gargoyle football writer Harry Summer. "He's good at waving and does the odd jig, but you need more than to be an international standard mascot. The international game is more about keeping possession of the fans' interest for longer periods, and Pottermus isn’t suited to that style of mascoting."
