by Saish Mandavkar - 23/11/201923/11/2019

In all honesty, the international break was welcome this time around because it gave Arsenal and Unai Emery a chance to fathom out what is fundamentally wrong at the Emirates and allowed the Spaniard sufficient time to put it right. The visit of Southampton is not what Arsenal need right now.

Speculations Rife About Rafa Benitez Coming to Arsenal and Fans are Certainly Pleased to Hear That

by The Highbury Flyer - 17/11/201917/11/2019

I made no secret that I felt Arsenal missed a trick by not employing Rafa Benitez as their coach, after they removed Arsene Wenger in the coup of 2018. Instead, they unexpectedly chose Unai Emery and at the time, Benitez wasn’t even on the short list. Big mistake, huge ! Benitez
