You will undoubtedly be aware of the story about the banner created for Alexis Sanchez featuring the Chilean and his dogs Atom and Humber.
Well, after a crowd-funding scheme it’s ready to go and hanging in the stadium for tomorrow’s game against Burnley.

Sanchez has spoken time and again of how much he loves his dogs. Late last year he said, “They look at me with shiny eyes when I wake up every morning. I just love the fact they want to play with me all the time.”
And who can blame him? Dogs are awesome. And while some people might think the banner is a bit daft, we’re right behind it.
Sure, football is a serious business, and very important, but there’s still room for a bit of a laugh and that’s all this is.
It’s terrible and I love it 😀
I. Hate. Dogs.
Yeah… i said it
Who hurt you?
I got mauled by a dog once… now I sometimes feel a little tingly, and not in a nice way, I tend to get overly excited, and sometimes I punch people in the face for no apparent reason.. I used to love swimming, now I am terrified of turning the tap on. .. where am I, is this real. .so anyway… yeah.. I love dogs
And yet most dogs would do their very best to like you even though you’re a miserable dicksplash.
Yeah… I said it
Wow. Some fans are getting increasingly desperate about his contract situation.
Only if you’re daft enough to think anyone believes this was done to make him stay, other than it being just a fun thing.
I think the wow. Says it all.
Perhaps not done to make him stay. How about sit? Roll over? Fetch?
Bonus rating 10/10 your joke.
If this doesn’t make him sign a new contract nothing will ?
If another club did this I would rip them to shreds for probably the next 10 years.
Yep, I’d rip their shirts, their newspapers, favorite slippers…
Best comment ever!!!
Good boy ?
Don’t forget all the boxes of tissues and sofa cushions
My dog, Nigel (yep, named after the left back of yore) has graduated from soft furnishings to actually demolishing the house. He hates anyone coming to the door, and goes ape shit when they do. He destroyed a front door years ago (we had to replace with a solid, non window type that he couldn’t get his teeth into), and now, he’s working on a window. My living room window ledge had a crescent shaped hole in it, about half a metre wide where he attacks it every time he sees someone outside. If he lives long enough, he will… Read more »
Try giving Nigel some proper regular exercise and not leaving him at home alone all day.
For having a sense of humour? And who cares what other clubs fans say anyway?
Cringe. This is so embarrassing.
You are aware that you can choose what is embarrassing and what isn’t on your own, right?
What I consider embarrassing is violence, negativity, and disrespect. This is none of those things. This is a tongue-in-cheek display of appreciation for an important member of the Arsenal family. If you want someone to respect you, then show respect for what (or who) matters to them. And if you have the opportunity to do that in a fun and creative way, why not take the opportunity?
In vaguely related news, a good friend of mine drew this comic: http://www.optipess.com/2016/02/05/who/
Enjoy!
Love that comic!
There really are some miserable sods in our fan base: it’s only a bit of fun. Given Alex has set up an Instagram account for his beloved dogs, he’s bound to enjoy seeing a banner with a massive picture of them. He will probably be quite touched by the effort involved and the fact that fans want to make him smile. Ozil publicly said how happy he was to see the Mia San Arsenal one. Bet you Alexis claps in the direction of that banner next game.
Guess the Anti-Atom&Humber are the same guys who advised Joel Campbell to get out.
And what sad, sad people who can’t enjoy a humerous banner and/or dogs…
A potential caveat in his new contract?
Think we should make one which says “stay and we’ll pay your tax fines”.
And now we just have to sack the Gunnersaurus and sign up Atom & Humber on a 10-year contract…
Smilles…. Better than Wenger out banner in my opinion
This is a great example of one of many little things that adds up to a whole lot of love and loyalty.
Are they as wealthy as Harry Redknapp’s dog?
I misread it as good bye boys
We should also make tshirt with this picture!
Love that banner. Brilliant stuff.
Excellent one ! those who take it seriously should simply not… 🙂
On another topic, have you seen this one (in Tim’s column): http://www.skysports.com/football/news/12090/10732118/arsenal-should-sell-francis-coquelin-in-summer-says-charlie-nicholas
Why should this guy been offered such room for expression ??? scary
Well, the days pundits are paid to have controversial opinions that generates clicks on websites. It’s just like Henry’s comments about Giroud some time ago…
Its just an opinion and he is a gooner legend. Not scared.
The best thing about that article is that under his name it says “football expert.”
When you have to tell everybody that because otherwise they wouldn’t know, it sort of says it all, eh?
One nil down, two one up, he fecked rush’s record up. I’d walk a million miles for one of ya goals, ohh CHAAAARLIE.
I hope Alexis celebrates his hat trick by punting the ball right on the banner with a thumbs up
Can his dogs come watch Him play?…..sitting ryt with santi tho…… no?
Does Özil have any dogs
Balboa I think is özils dog, even his dog is a better footballer than me !
His dogs are probably exhausted at night. “How much energy does this human have? Its ridicoulous!”
Alexis could probably run the Iditarod with his two dogs just chilling in the sled pulled by Alexis and he’d probably win it.
Love the banner 🙂
I love dogs and swans get in
Haha, I like it…
Well done flappyanski. Nice of blogs to agree that superjack is our natural replacement for supersanti. When i said so i got thumbed down loads.
Who let the dogs out
even if it means erecting a statue of atom and humber next to King Henry,so be it
Not the muggiest banner I’ve seen at the Emirates
SIT!
STAY!
A banner day for Alexis.
You may not know who Ben Sheaf is, or who Mavididi is, but you MUST know who Atom and Humber are!
Just using this amazing forum to vent off this evening…………. I am delited to see the Sanchez, Atom, Humber tribute……….I mean what harm can it do in this weird world……yeah exactly , its brilliant, a bit of fun and fair play to the designers behind it. Then I watch city destroy spuds and yet end up with a draw………I mean how can the Walker shove in the back on Sterling (was it?) not be a penalty, how? He shoves him, the player in blue loses balance, and its in the box……clear?……apparently not to an English official. Meanwhile, Rooners scores at… Read more »
Nice. Really nice. Would have been lovely if we didnt have the contract thing hanging there. It just gives it a tint of pressure.
Things like this are like bait to bring out all the fucking annoying supporters out there. Saying it’s an “embarrassment” and “pathetic”. It’s a for a fucking laugh ffs. Fuck I hate people.
Sometimes I think I would enjoy football way more if I didn’t have any access to social media or the internet for that matter. It’s seriously depressing how fucking retarded people are.
Too serious, too
These are the very reasons I don’t have Facebook or any of that. People are just too much. There’s this one guy I keep seeing on YouTube though called DT. He is the first thing in all my life which has made me feel ashamed of Arsenal. He’s some fat, arrogant Gary Lager type with neck tatttoos who spurts out absolute nonsense like his opinion matters. You can’t avoid them everywhere but I do my best. This guy though, he’s the worst I’ve seen. Proper berk.
Just to add to how social media has ruined the world…. people in LONDON have taken to the streets to protest about Trump.
Hope someone posts video of his reaction to the banner – that’s really going to be the best part!
I can’t quite decide whether the banner is a dog’s breakfast or the dog’s bollocks…..
The banter. I can’t ??
How can anyone not love this man? Loves dogs, loves playing football and plays for Arsenal.
#Sanchezisalegend
Banners.
Why on earth anyone wants Simeone over Wenger?
Athletico is lying fourth in the table.
The media are prattling on about how Chelsea are “uncatchable”
There are still 16 games to go with many difficult match ups.
Should Liverpool take 2 points off Chelsea next, the lead is cut to 3. If we take the max against them, we cut them down to 3.
Far from over unless you are a media numpty.
