I saw those photos before. He looks a lot better with stubble. Amazing what facial hair can do as he looks awful clean-shaven. However, I doubt he'd look as good as those heavily edited stubble pics irl.

He is a dreadful coach indeed (at least right now). Without sounding like a dickhead he doesn't come across as the smartest of guys so probably not cut out to be a coach. Not to say coaches have to be very intelligent but he seems like he's lacking a lot in that regard. Did he really say...

Yeah I said that myself. Temp's big love for him puts people on here off him a bit. Though their love and care for Barca probably overrides what an internet poster they've ever met does. But it does play a big part. Bayern are a huge club, as are Barcelona. Obviously Bayern players of past...

But the thing is, as people rightly note - if everyone agrees he's past his prime and well in decline - why should people be happy he is playing up front for Barcelona at his age?

I don't see why people would be biased against him though, mate? It isn't a Ronaldo situation where he behaves badly and is a rival of a Barca player. Lewy is pretty inoffensive as a person and plays FOR Barca. I think people just genuinely don't rate him at his age. Now, if you are saying they...

We will see what happens. Maybe I am too dogmatic and in being a big proponent of eye test. I also have a big liking for seeing mistakes in games and where they can be improved, and not believing 'moments' (whether it be a tackle, a save, a pass or the ultimate moment, a goal) compensate for...

The problem as has been discussed ad infinitum though is that he scores goals but doesn't do anything else. His all-round performances seem to be to the detriment of the team and he needs to be carried in general play. Fanboys on twitter rave over his scoring stats. Those stats conceal all the...

'He's a liability unless he scores right now.' That sentence sums it up exactly. Some forwards do stuff like in the video multiple times in a game, but score a goal and it is all forgotten. What is never remembered is the hypothetical goals better play could have led to. No player is perfect of...

Neither was the telegraph.

Good one.

Anyone interested? Hosted by Denmark, Norway and Croatia. Begins in 14 January, runs for a few weeks. I am developing interest in other sports such as track and field, swimming, volleyball and handball since the Olympics. Could watch some of this when there's no interesting football on. I...

Fair enough. Maybe some go over the top with criticism but I would suggest in some ways it is a reaction to the over the top praise too. You know full well from our discussions that I have a lot of time for you. I am a grown up and will never let disagreements on football or footballers affect...

Revista and live La Liga games on Sky was so good. I used to watch Premier League from the early 90s at my gran and grandad's when Sky (then BSkyB) started it with the disgraced Richard Keys and Andy Gray. Obviously Sky has sort of ruined football now but back then it was fresh and exciting to...

Obviously you are a good guy, and you don't really insult unless someone insults you first. There's a lot to like about you as a person. But don't you see that this Lewy love is stan behaviour and crosses into celebrity worship? You have lost all objectivity on the lad now. You just love him...

He won't. If you have watched football for as long as I have the signs are there - you can see it coming a mile off. He failed a lot of the time when it matters in his prime so he will definitely underperform in the crunch time now he's past it. This will be Flick's undoing.

Yeah I am not denying he has been world-class. Just saying as a player he is very bland and by the numbers. He scores loads of goals but would you pay to watch him? Others 'achieved' less but were far more talented. I agree too, I get on with Temptation but he is taking this fanboy behaviour...

Not sure why you are laughing - are you denying the individual should be subservient and secondary to the team? Or that Bayern had a monopoloy over the Bundesliga? Or that Robert's all-round game isn't really that good relative to players he is compared to? All seem fair shouts to me.

The problem with not looking beyond goal stats, or context. The guy scores goals but even at his best he was only acceptably good in the link up phase. Really good hold up play but clearly someone like Modric, Xavi or Iniesta are much better footballers than him. Iniesta and Xavi ar 100 times...

Yeah I was just joking, but there is a serious debate about that sort of thing in France. I am not really a fan of Zidane as a coach but will be interesting if he gets the job.

Reported for discrimination against bald people... Just joking.
