At a dinner with his players, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta secretly hired a team of professional pickpockets. The sleight-of-hand artists were tasked with going round the tables, pinching phones and wallets from an unwitting first-team squad.
man what? https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5490775/2024/08/08/mikel-arteta-arsenal-rebuild/
I don't understand if it's a joke or not
Bizarro Tet
lmao, Arteta is a menace.
Some of this stuff seems wacky but he is happy to think outside of the box. Stopping the players from feeling too comfortable and stay alert is what I am guessing the meaning of that is.
HomeSteak Read this earlier, classic stuff. I bet this kind of thing is what got Auba out of sorts.
Surely it was just a gag rather than a serious "psychological" exercise?
Professional pick pocketers? Wtf. Is there a global league? Prob be an Olympic sport in 4 years.
Artera is a mad man. This will bring joy to our rival fans no doubt. Need to start properly winning soon so we’re not some laughing stock.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Professional pick pocketers? Wtf. Is there a global league?
Yeah, any major European train station
Seems clear that it's just good fun.
Coombs Fun? FUN!? What on earth are they doing having fun!?
Burnwinter if you watch the Amazon doc whenever Arteta starts with his weirder stuff Auba and Laca are laughing at it. I'd say its a big reason they were binned.
Qwiss To be fair to them, arbitrary pranks like this are adjacent to weird authority trips. Not sure I'd fancy this kind of gimmick more than once.
Arteta has made us more cultish than we've ever been. Good news is it's a fairly happy and successful cult. He still has a wide stripe of that "no, brother, they'll expect one of us in the wreckage" sort of leadership.

New contract until 2027 agreed.

Real talk. If he fails to win anything this year again, will anyone be angry with him? How many season with 0 trophies are you willing to give him? Is a FA Cup enough ? Or you guys thinking it's title or bust for him?
