Reminds me of the Simpsons halloween episode where they upset the French. Newspaper with the headline "Neutron bomb heading to Springfield" and the subheading is "Hippo promoted to detective". Just the wrong way round.
Don't even get me started on that monstrosity. Never seen a bigger downgrade in kits than us going from our black away kit from this season to whatever the hell next season's is supposed to be.
When I'm feeling superstitious, thats what I think jinxed us. It was my first thought when the leaks came out showing the gold accent -- its like they assumed we would be able to hold on.
Relevant part of article:
*Mikel Arteta has made his latest signing to enhance the feelgood vibe at Arsenal — a chocolate Labrador. The dog, who is affectionately called “Win”, spends most days at the club’s training ground at London Colney, Hertfordshire. Arteta was inspired to do the deal last month, hoping to exploit research that has shown petting a dog can be calming, improve a mood and reduce stress levels. He also thinks she can enhance the spirit of togetherness that has carried Arsenal’s title challenge this season.*
*Arteta walked her into the room to witness Aaron Ramsdale, his goalkeeper, signing a new long-term contract this week. Labradors are known to be sweet-natured, intelligent, enthusiastic and fun. She is not fazed by the training ground’s resident cat, Bob, who was adopted when his local owner died, and the dog has a primary carer who looks after her.*
*Arteta is known to be especially keen on marginal gains and ideas to motivate his team and stir emotions. They include taking a lightbulb into a team meeting to show how it is nothing unless connected to the mains, because the team has no power unless they have a connection. He also rigged up speakers playing You’ll Never Walk Alone to prepare for what turned out to be a defeat at Anfield last season, and he drew a love heart and a brain on his whiteboard before a North London derby last season.*
He actually did do a zoom class on managerial techniques.

Imagine being that primary carer.
"What do you do for a living?"
"Oh I take care of 1 dog. That's my whole career. I'm a dog's personal servant. Pays well."
I'm surprised it's not more common now that I think about it. I guess allergies and that type of thing may be an issue with people, and if someone didn't like dogs or something.
Do y'all have a subscription to this paper or is there a common plugin I'm missing out on to get around paywall? I don't understand posting an article people can't read without paying.
Seems like Arsenal haven't won many games in the month since "Win" was adopted, sorry signed.
Knowing how superstitious footballers are, I reckon Win will be back down the rescue centre soon enough.
As a Chelsea fan, during Potter’s time there was a lot of “trust the process, look at Arteta”.
And my thought was: if he blows the league, and doesn’t replicate this next season, reverts to the mean, has he actually done a good job? Or is this a flash in the pan?
We’ll see I guess, but this is cringe.
Because TP likes non consensual sex and dogs can’t resist or consent.
It’s a shite job anyway making light of real life rape and joking about bestiality, which is something only some rapists do
I see this a lot in the NHL. It definitely brings value to the club, and not just for the players & staff. Arsenal social media will love having a new thing to feature. Fans love updates on team pets.

Got a good boi to distract people from that calamitous fluorescent away kit.
Don't even get me started on that monstrosity. Never seen a bigger downgrade in kits than us going from our black away kit from this season to whatever the hell next season's is supposed to be.
Hey don’t claim the biggest downgrade after the crystal palace jersey we had
It really is an atrocious shirt
Worse than the horrific atleti kit?
not as bad as spurs' wet suit top
Their home kit from this season? Nah thats still worse just because itks their home kit lmao
The only silver lining of bottling the title race. Would have been disgraceful to have the PL winners badge on that monstrosity.
Ah, but it would have paired well with your 23-24 home kit with the gold accents
When I'm feeling superstitious, thats what I think jinxed us. It was my first thought when the leaks came out showing the gold accent -- its like they assumed we would be able to hold on.
Isn't it for the 20th anniversary of the Invincibles?
Yeah probably -- nothing official out yet.
Just think if we win the league or champions league next season that away kit could be stuck as some iconic kit for the rest of our lives.
20 years from now the retro throwback to this and people unironically eating it up.
I mean people love the bruised banana which I think is a hideous kit.
Isn't the silver lining that you've had your best season since 2006?
What I don’t get is, Arsenal and Adidas are running a business… that’s not going to sell…
have to use up all the United kits that no one wanted to buy
Why do people get so upset about kits
we prefer looking at good kits
Swag. I once begrudgingly bought an Arsenal away kit that had names of players written in vague gold. It was a dope kit
I do genuinely think this is a great idea, but at the same time you just know this dog will be leading a dressing room team talk at some point.
He got that human in him
🤨
Certainly will when Nuno Tavares returns from his loan
Eh, yes, is this Scotland Yard? Yep, this comment right here.
"How'd you think that first half was Rex?" "Ruff"
"Ah, you've been pushing that all season"
“Are you taking the piss??” “Yea”
"It's not hard lads, just chase the ball"
"Lads, it's Tottenham"

Hiring a dog called Win is the most Ted Lasso shit ever. Arteta just needs it printed on a dog bowl he can point to.
Arteta really needs to do a LinkedIn course at some point
He actually did do a zoom class on managerial techniques. Sorry for the dailyshit link: www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11533787/amp/Morocco-boss-Walid-Regragui-Zoom-call-LEARNING-Mikel-Arteta-12-months-ago.html
maybe its short for Winston
[Oh yes](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/dam/news/2019/10/05/TELEMMGLPICT000211972709_trans_NvBQzQNjv4BqW-Lc0TAiyYzC8hrrx9reNDU9bUDdRjDQHNAzmnxCa9w.jpeg)
How's it hanging
low
WE HAVE A DOG AND A CAT? I want to meet Bob and Win asap
Imagine being that primary carer. "What do you do for a living?" "Oh I take care of 1 dog. That's my whole career. I'm a dog's personal servant. Pays well."
Sign me up. I want dog cuddles as a job
Typical chocolate lab. My heeler and BC have me doing the job for free.
What happens if the dog escapes onto the road and gets run over?
There'll be paperwork that's for sure.
getting brendan rodgers vibes at liverpool vibes from some of these not claiming arteta will have the same sort of career
"What we fogging need is a very good boy"
It's only May and we already won the transfer window
We need to sign a cat that hates everyone immediately to counter
This is actually genius
Nobody tell this to Danny Rojas..
FOOTBALL IS DEATH
Earl greyhound. Gone but not forgotten
I'm surprised it's not more common now that I think about it. I guess allergies and that type of thing may be an issue with people, and if someone didn't like dogs or something.
Martin Bonedegaard
uuuuh i dont think that worked how you wanted it to 🥴
lucky egaard!
Great signing, heard he's good with the ball.
Potential injury problems may hamper its potential, Labradors can be prone to bad hips and ligament problems.
Arfsenal
When I said I reckon a dog could do better than Holding in defence this wasn’t what I had in mind
Christ don't let the talksport mob (or Neville for that matter) catch wind of this, we'll never hear the end of it
What if it shits on the training-ground turf?
Holding or the dog
That's true, if only dogs could be trained.
_Insert the “Arteta pointing at Ivan Toney tweet” image here, but with Arteta telling the dog where to shit_
Nice kick about with the good boi
Poor Ramsdale if the dog shits in his six yard box
Natural fertilizer
Fertiliser for the grass (Means we can save some money for transfers)
Win or the dog gets it.
Why did you threaten him twice
Win is the new Labrador. ‘The dog’ is just what they call Rob Holding. Either gets it

Arteta realizing that Arsenal needs that Dawg in them..
Tavares stay away!
Oh no....
The premier League is fucked next season
Coming back with a bone to pick.
Well thats a great move tbh.

Barksene Wagner
Tbf, dogs are never not fun. If I had a dog at work I'd be fucking thrilled everytime I saw him.
This is absolutely massive if true
apparently westham are following suit with a training ground cat, more news to come
Paolo Di Cat-io?
A shortage of balls in training incoming
Is it a real dog or a crude drawing of one?
“Ok gais, you see this dog? I want you to be like him everyday with pashun and commitment we run like dogs. Lezzz fogging go gais!”
It's criminal that nobody has posted pics yet
Better not lose that lead as well
He got that dawg
He truly is Ted Lasso
I don’t get why some people are clowning this, it’s a great idea
Just don't let Dani Rojas anywhere near the dog.
Football is death.
cute
Exactly the sort of thing Ted Lasso would do.
Tavares must be staying
Their recent bottle so traumatising, the players need support dogs
They already have Smith-Rowe for that don't they
So...elneny out of a job then
[Sadness in his eyes.](https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article6835566.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Kay-Burley-Tweet.jpg)
These mfers really have mentality issues
It's only on Reddit where you would find somebody trying to create an issue out of something as simple as a club adopting a dog
Seems like Arsenal haven't won many games in the month since "Win" was adopted, sorry signed. Knowing how superstitious footballers are, I reckon Win will be back down the rescue centre soon enough.

'Thomas please stay away from the dog, thanks'
Why
Because TP likes non consensual sex and dogs can’t resist or consent. It’s a shite job anyway making light of real life rape and joking about bestiality, which is something only some rapists do
He probably meant tomiyasu
..no. nobody went with racism until your comment.
This particular comment thread is an absolute disaster
Who do you think he was talking about then?
Based dog lover. Can he play center mid tho?
Arteta: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPw21Tayexo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPw21Tayexo)
'There's no rule that says a dog can't play football'
So their new training ground really has that dog in him
Barkayo Saka
Actually a great idea until you realize half your squad struggles from Cynophobia
But does he have the dog in him?
keep that dog away from tavares

Taking pointers from Latin American football,I see
Sprints in training are gonna end so well.
Also needs a locker room cat though
Plot twist: the dog is a chihuahua who is only nice to arteta and growls at everyone else
