Mikel Arteta has unveiled a new signing at Arsenal as the Gunners look to manage the stress level from a tough season.
The Londoners have been involved in a tough title race alongside Manchester City and the Citizens have almost beaten them to it.
Mikel Arteta’s men are looking to end the term on a high regardless and The Daily Mail reveals the manager has signed a chocolate Labrador to help his team with stress levels.
The dog can be seen around their training ground and has been named “Win” to help the Gunners stay sharp and focused on winning all the time.
Just Arsenal Opinion
This signing is an impressive initiative by Arteta and it will pay off. Dogs are very helpful for stress relief, and our players need it now more than ever as they seek to stay fresh and return to challenge for the title again next season.
Our boys did very well this season and everyone can see that City is better equipped than we are and we will struggle to match them.
We just need to focus on winning our remaining games of the term so that our boys can go on holiday and take their minds off this tough season for some weeks.

What a silly idea ! Is this really true ? Are you making it up ? What if a player is afraid of dogs. What if a player is allergic to dogs. I suppose they would have been canvassed about it first. What a silly idea. Bring in stray cats and foxes also while you’re at it. Make it a second London Zoo.
The dog gets a full article but Saka and Ramsdale whom have just signed contracts extensions do not get one!!😂
Siamois, Britain like France is a nation of dog lovers. I’ve never seen the fascination myself. They are all “God’s” creatures I guess. (That is dogs, the British and the French too) ! The English even go as far as to name an animal the same as God, but backwards – (DOG = GOD). Mon dieu !
Oh yeah, now that you mentioned it GOD-DOG.i blame Americans for it,treating dogs as if they were kids.i find it actually sad that we are living in a society where people treat/care more for dogs/cats than their fellow human beings!!
Siamois, this is a really funny conversation that I have had from time to time throughout my life. However, In Britain you run the risk of seriously upsetting dog lovers with what you and I are discussing. hahahhaheeeeee. But I’ll go on nonetheless (although this has nothing to do with Arsenal). It is very good that more and more dog owners are picking up their dog’s shit and this is a wonderful step in the right direction. However, personally I could never see myself picking up dogshit as I really don’t think that was ever to be one of my roles in life ! We have to give dog owners who do do this task alot of credit as it shows real love for their pooches ! (there is a joke in there by the way). Let’s see if anyone wants to massacre me for this post.
EvGunner, I take an opposite view from you.
As a lifelong dog and cat lover, I have seen first hand the enormous benefit dogs have in making owners stress free and happier in life.
I have said often- not on JA as it is not football related- that every institution in Britain would benefit from having dogs around; care homes prisons, schools and such like.
I think it an excellent idea to have one at our training ground and I KNOW it would be popular and beneficial to so many.
Jon, I knew you would have something to tell me about that “dog” post and at least for the first time today you have not ignored me. I demand your attention and now I have it ! Did you get my post to let you know that I applaud your thoughts relating to the media ? Very good post that. There is something I do wish to discuss with you and we will at some stage (nothing to do with any of my earlier messages to you).
EG, I have to let you know that most of my normal days are taken up with playing bowls.
Often I play indoor bowls too, even in summer , aswell,as outdoors and also at afternoons/evenings in leagues. Today we thrashed a triple(3 players) team from Herne Bay who came to play at our club. Its a most appealing pastime which I have become very passionate about.
So I have only limited time on JA.
But am always happy to debate and chat with you, whenever I can.
Not good enough !
Well said, Jon
My Welsh Springer was warmly welcomed at my mother in law’s residential home. He made such a difference to their lives.
It’s not a potty idea at all
Sude P Although I am extremely fond of all dog breeds and types, I have always had a really special love for spaniels. Their sheer excitability and joyous affection is beyond lovely. Sheer bliss to me and my Sue too.
Many of we dog lovers KNOW from first hand experience, the sheer joy, warmth, affection and ability to show(and thus teach how to) LOVE that dogs bring to folk from all walks of life
I am convinced that it would bring far less stress to prisoners and have long said that it would be, relatively speaking, an easy thing to do and a beneficial idea for countless folk everywhere, perhaps even in the KREMLIN.
You never know!
jon, in Australia that little moggie becomes a feral cat, which along with foxes and wild pigs have brought many of the country’s wildlife to extinction. Outside their homes the only treatment for a feral cat is a 22LR hollow point to the head.
Maybe it is not such a bad idea after all, it is said a dog is a man best friend,
Gunsmoke you make me laugh sometimes you know. You good.
I genuinely do feel bad for everyone who says that their pets are their best friends.
Bad?
Why , Siamois? My dog isn’t my best friend but he is very much part of my family. I do have a family fortunately and a dog to the lonely or alone, is their family
I HAVE NO FRIENDS. I did ’em in years ago !
woof woof.
Its too late for a April fools and i hope they all carry poo bags. Rediculous.
As long as he’s a dogged defender and will fight tooth and claw to help Arsenal win, I’m more than happy to welcome WIN and his wag (gy tail) to the Arsenal claws. As long as he teaches us to hold onto a lead, which we have had difficulty with, I’ll be begging him to sit and stay in front of the back four so we can collar our opponent’s and muzzle their fans.
VERY WITTY!
GB = G ood B oy ! 🐶
G ood B oy……😂🐾🐾
Says a lot about the mrntal fragility of Arsenal players. Maybe a goat would be a better choice, particularly if the GOAT was Dennis Bergkamp or Tierry Henry.
I think it says a bit more about arteta. Getting hoddle vibes here (I’d be interested in ray parlour’s take on this!) – I hope it’s meant in a light hearted way and isn’t considered a serious approach.
I’ll be amazed if it makes any difference, but who knows, maybe this will start a trend at football clubs
