https://twitter.com/FactsRafa/status/1207718102668136450?s=20 Two of the most horrific teams with the ball playing each other. Could be even worse to watch than the match against Burnley last week

£11.5m

Definitely something they’d do It would probably be the most uninspiring moment in the clubs history.

That’s a good thing surely

We’re getting better though apparently

Caulkin What will Christmas be like in the Benitez household? Rafa “I’m quite lucky because she(My wife) will be busy with the Christmas parties and I can watch all the games on the TV” Love how much he loves football. He mentioned he might go onto manage in his 70’s like Sir Alex. I’m all for him coming back to Newcastle late in his career like Sir Bobby Robson

This match has been a pure treat *Sancho Scary for his age.

Can’t see Nagelsmann beating Mourinho over 2 legs.

If you’re not watching Dortmund vs RB Leipzig then you’re doing it wrong.

Me the whole way through

Guillem Balague saying Everton are making Ancelotti the Top 3 best paid manager in Europe. Basically between 13-20million and over double more than Rafa Benitez got per year at Newcastle.

That team desperately need someone who will sort their defense out. Should go all out for Simeone. Rafa would have been a good choice too.

Paul Merson on Arteta “Other than not getting lost on the way to the Arsenal training ground I don’t know what else Arteta brings to the table” “This is a big, big gamble by Arsenal putting someone that has never managed before in charge of a club of the size of Arsenal”

They’re already saying Ljungberg has ruined his invincibles legacy. Arteta doesn’t have a legend bond with Arsenal fans.

What a terrible appointment the absolute opposite of what Arsenal need in every sense. How can you say that? I agree with him I honestly think it objectively the wrong decision (for both arsenal and arteta) to make at this time considering the circumstances at arsenal atm. Hes a complete novice in management and arsenal are in a bad spot, if he was taking over in the summer with time to sort out the team and tactics and move on some of the useless players then sure worth a go but taking over mid-season when the arsenal crowd is as toxic as it is at the moment would be difficult for experienced managers let alone someone trying to learn on the job. As for arteta himself with the state arsenal are currently in I don't know why the hell he'd go near them, it could honestly end his managerial career before it starts

What a terrible appointment the absolute opposite of what Arsenal need in every sense. Based on absolutely nothing other than not being called Rafael Benitez.

What a terrible appointment the absolute opposite of what Arsenal need in every sense. Based on absolutely nothing. Based on Arteta having zero experience as a manager. Arsenal are desperately needing an experienced manager who has experience of rebuilding clubs and building a solid structure. Arteta will get drowned at Arsenal, it would be like appointing Eddie Howe zero credentials to manager a club of that size and scrutiny.

What a terrible appointment the absolute opposite of what Arsenal need in every sense.
