More Arsenal at the World Cup + Pet photos

Featuring a new section of pet photos from the Arsenal community

Hello,

The world cup continues and it’s a mix of some good news and bad news for Arsenal players. Most of the players advanced out of the group stage, but as you might have heard Arsenal fans everywhere are crossing their fingers, and well every part of their bodies, that the reported news of Gabriel Jesus being out for three months is somehow incorrect. Here’s hoping that Gabriel Jesus just needs slap on placenta on the knee and everything will be fine after that.

I’ve had many people reach out to me suggesting that I start an Arsenal community pet update section now that the newsletter is a little light with the passing of our very good doggo.

I think that’s a great idea. I posted on Twitter yesterday asking for some pet photos and while I cannot include all of the very good pets, I picked out about four to highlight. If you want to spend your Monday perusing through over 300 pet photos, here’s the link to the entire thread. If your boss asks you what you are doing, send them my way and I’ll come up with a totally legit* doctor’s note stating that these pet photos are pivotal to your work productivity.

Below are those pet photos, plus some drawings about how Arsenal players are doing at the World Cup,
