If you're talking about the stadium Barça are playing in this season, it's not the Camp Nou.Aesthetically the Camp Nou is stunning, as a stadium it looks awful. So far from the play.
It's bad enough watching them win the league, if they think they are coming for our booing title they can fk raaar offRAWK.
Remember: we mean "nothing" to them...they just won the title but...

Yeah, we've done this, you are late to the game.If you're talking about the stadium Barça are playing in this season, it's not the Camp Nou.
They're playing at the Olympic stadium while they renovate Camp Nou.
He's great. I think he should also be a bot more team orientated at times though.
You mentioned the 'eye test'.Lamine Yamal has:
MOST dribbles completed in Europe (6th in history)
MOST big chances created (28 from open play 6th in history of La Liga)
16 Goals
24 Assists, Liga leader
Hes got some of the best numbers in world football, the best chance creator, the best at dribbling, most assists and still doing this in europe in some of the biggest & most talked about matches. And then there’s simply the subjective eye test - I have no idea where he ends up in his career but its irrefutable he stands alone in football like Leo has…at 17
I think there are many concerns (will he go off the rails, get injuries or succumb to what the majority of flash in the pan stars have) but selfishness is nowhere near one of them - he’s like most kids coming through La Masia, too unselfish at times but I think it actually helps in the overall team dynamic
I also believe he will eventually have to assume an even greater role than he already has, which is undeniably unprecedented already - Van Basten said he would have to move into the #10 role and be more central to get him more touches (he has a lower percentage of touches than either Messi or Neymar at their peak) which I concur would be a footballing imperative for the player, fans, club, titles and the neutral - despite loving him on that RW. He’s a natural, a comet - just give him the ball and enjoy
Martinez first season?Wonder when last week would have finished above manure in the league? Prob the late 80s?
It must be awful challenging for the league and playing in the Champions League every year. As a fan base we really do feel your pain.Will come a time where I end up going back Church on Sundays to wash the taint that is Arsenal DNA out of me.
Horrible to live with this year on year.
Feel like a heretic
Don't forget the horrible new stadium, paid ,for.Will come a time where I end up going back Church on Sundays to wash the taint that is Arsenal DNA out of me.

He's better than Messi at the same age.You mentioned the 'eye test'.
Well on every occasion Ive seen him, especially in big games, he's taken too much on himself to get a goal when others were open and a better option. Going for goals when angles are way too acute seems to be a thing for him.
I dont think there's any doubt he hogs the ball way more than he should.
I get that it's a temptation because he's so good on the ball. From a neutrals perspective - one who doesn't care if his team wins, loses or draws - I dont care any way. I can applaud his attempts to do outrageous things. But if I were a supporter I'd be wondering if we'd be in that CL final at the end of the month in Munich if he'd done certain things a different way...especially going for a 4th with 90 seconds to go.
That's where the comparison with Messi really comes in. He'd have drawn fouls and killed that game at such a point.
Lamal is the greatest talent (at present) in world football, but he can be criticised.
He’s 17, Dave.You mentioned the 'eye test'.

Bit harsh innit. Just tried to be helpful
