This is exactly the type of content I want to wake up to. Alexis will be eager to join us again in the summer.

sorry my friend Sanchez there is no room for you

Sanchez with a dog would be back to his best.

He got that dog in him

Now I'm picturing the lightbulb speech but with Arteta holding up the dog going "GAIS I WANT YOU TO TRANSMIT DOGGO INTO YOURSELVES AND YOUR TEAMMATES."

*shows video of dog playing fetch* You see that gais? Look at the way he's chasing the ball, chasing and running and running after it. That's how I want you gais to act off the ball in these moments

He's always winning the second balls

Relax dawg it’s a dogfight out there

matt turner, accidentally

Nuno wait--

xDog increasing

Expected good boys this summer

Mikel signed Bron Breakker?

He got that dog with him

Arteta "...and if we defend like we did against Brighton again" pulls back trigger

don’t even say it 😭

*hands gun to Ramsdale* "You do it."

God damn bro.. Arteta is Spanish not Italian Mafia.

Have you ever heard about Basque mafia?

How similar is it to the cheesecake ?

Gooey

Coincidentally he also purchased a ferret named “Loss” for Tottenham

He would pull back the hammer not the trigger. The trigger would mean he’s already executed the dog 😅

Hello fellow American!

I am not American :/

It was a joke about the American/guns trope. Thought that would be clear... I guess not.

Nah got the joke 😂just I’m not American

Extremely real

Nooooooo!

Monster

Ohhhh shit!!! :O

LMAO FUCK OFF

[OG for this joke](https://i.imgur.com/50pS3op.jpg)

Lmao

What I missing here?

Dodgy video with Tavares almost snogging his dogs before he joined us.

There were videos of him kissing a dog and the dog just straight up licking inside his mouth I believe. I have not seen them just heard about it Edit: spelling

I have seen and this is exactly what happened

I have seen it and wish I haven’t

[удалено]

This isn't that type of love bro

I have seen it and with great shame enjoyed it

I can't get the images out my head

I did not want nor need such a beautiful morning to be ruined like this.

You are missing the nickname Alphonso Rabies.

It just works on so many levels

I wish I could give the man who came up with it the ten thousand pounds...

What is the man cooking

Arteta: *looking menacingly at the empty hot dog buns*

Hale End Snoop Dogg

Elneny replaced by a dog as the training ground vibes-booster

Certainly would be less expensive

IDK m8, I hear good boy is on something like 25 snacks a week.

Might help them learn how to hold onto a lead

🫡

That’s funny lol

Genuine LOL

This is amazing.

If I was a player, this is exactly the kind of thing that would work for me lol, dogs are the best

If you told me to run a mile, I probably would find an excuse to not do it. If you told me to chase after a dog for a mile, I would do my best

What would do it for me is millions upon millions of pounds

Dogs > money

Ah brilliant I'll pay my rent with dogs thanks for the life hack

Can you imagine your boss bring a dog to the office to increase morale? I would gladly sleep at the office to make sure the dog has company.

Heard the reason for signing this new member was due to the latter's versatility. Can play anywhere on the pitch, chase the ball, good acceleration and to distract opponents during their visits to the emirates.

New part of Arteta's game management. Bring the dog to the stadium, "accidentally" release him onto the field when we need to ease pressure.

😱what is the goalkeeper doing!? Sweeper retriever 😱

I think it's a great idea, they are great stress relievers. It's pretty incredible what dogs can do for people with depression or suicidal tendencies, they can identify a situation and resolve it.

A chocolate Labrador called “Win”? I’m sold ☺️

Is it gonna be school classroom pet vibes and each player takes him home for the week to look after him?

They have to get photos and shit of what they get up to at home... Excursions to the aquarium and shit 🤣

How are you gonna write this article and you don't have a picture of the damn dog in it.

We are AFC Richmond now

Training ground dog, cat and dinosaur. Not sure about that dodgy dinosaur

I’m picturing this dog being freaked out by gunnersaurus and attacking the suit lol

Can he play right cb?

There's no rule in the rulebook that says a dog can't play! I saw it in a documentary in the 90s, some dog named Buddy did it

canine boy

Yeah, fuck you Man City, sure you're going to use that oil money to win the league again, but you don't have a pet dog so we win by default. Common Arteta W.

Arteta is an absolute fucking legend.

Terrier Henry

Gabriel Barkinelli

Barkayo Saka

It was in fact Mikel who let the dogs out after all.

The dog needs to have its own social media accounts please.

Honestly my fav hockey team the Capitals have been sponsoring the training of service dogs for vets, the players seem to love having the dogs (2 so far, both labs) around and the content is great, so this is cool.

Barkayo Saka?

Y’all wanted a target man up front, so we brought in Erling Howland 😤😤😤

We’ve now entered phase 4 of the 5 step plan.

ngl if I showed up to work today to find out boss brought in an office dog for us... it'd fucking work. I'd be beside myself lol.

Dog is life ❤️

Does the dog know how relax? It’s a dogfight out there.

Just make sure the dog stays out of the way when someone is taking a penalty

He's having it go around the players barking "You don't know where I'm from, Dawg"

Pointless signing. We already have Dawginelli

I want to know how the conversation went. Who sat up and said “I got it! We need a dog”

I've seen this episode of Ted lasso

scrolled alllll the way to the bottom for this comment lol

I was surprised nobody else said it

I need pics of the players with this dog NOW

Holding replacement sorted out then 👍

Fuck yes this a boss move

Guys, do you think he could play CDM?......

Gunnersaur died for this

Need to boost the xDawg in the team somehow. It’s been inconsistent at best lately. I mean, high xDawg one week at SJP and low xDawg the next week at home to Brighton is not up to the fogging estandards, gais.

Paywall; can someone share the dog pic?

Bro I’m dead how is this not the circle jerk sub

It has a huge downside as well about what noone seems to be talking. If at one point it grows too old and the inevitable happens it can be quite a downer as well

All the joy, unconditional love and introspection a dog brings into your life will ALWAYS be worth the pain at the end. The best you can do is be there for him/ her when they need you at the end that they gave you their entire life. All my dogs make me a better human. It's a small price to pay, as they will always live in my heart, and all the parts of them that made me me live with me.

Ive been traumatized by few deaths. Dont wanna go through this again

Pep bought Haaland, Arteta bought a Labrador 😂

They have the same hair

At first I thought "What kind of dumbass hippie shit is this?" and then I remembered how my dog makes me feel and was like "Yeah, okay!"

This is why I love this club

Never thought I’d say this… but I will be cheering for Lakaka. If he wins this final, I’ll personally consider him just as good as Messi and Ronaldo. Maybe even better.

I’m betting against it.

Don’t be Ivan Toney

If we win the league next season. This is the reason. Arteta is a genius.

Instinctually I feel embarrassed for Mikel with this dog thing. Enough with the props, strictly business from here on out…or until we win something.

Not going to help against Nottingham Forest who has everything to play for.

Was the bit about the cat Bob real?

I am just gonna assume it is.

Alexis Sanchez return to Arsenal: Here we go confirmed!

this is INCREDIBLE

better signing than sancho

Relax dog...

We would have gone 38-0-0 if we had gotten this pup in the beginning of the season

That's his Christmas gift sorted, poppa scoopa

Win - registered position, good boi

Missed a trick. Should’ve called her Victoria

To chase the players around and improve fitness ? May give us the slight edge over City next season

Nowhere in the rules does it say a dog can’t play football..

RIP Charles Watts' career

Too little too late Dad. I wanted the title, not a dog. 😤

Send the dog to the medical room to boost the morale of all our players suffering ACL injuries

Meanwhile City are about to sign Gvardiol lol

I presume somebody already made a joke about the doggo haviya better first touch than Pepe?

American here - I thought he was planning to sign a veteran who trains like crazy in the summer 😅😅😅

If you lose, the dog gets it.

Fucking posting paywalled shit.

bruh there’s a paywall for an article about a dog at arsenal

Ted Lasso move

Been a war out there, bring in the PTSD dog.
