I have just heard the phrases Ben Doak and world-class linked. One of those head-shaking moments. When will we learn? Just how many Liverpool and Manchester United players have been declared as world-class before they have made any kind of mark on the game?

A reminder that Doak isnt a Dippers academy player he was signed by them just before he was 17 in 2022 having. come through the Ayr and Celtic youth teams.
but why let there facts mixed up

Yes. I read it.

It is full of amazing revelations. One paragraph in particular explains ...'four times, the players were seen chasing back hard...!!!!. That's incredible. Imagine that, this morning, some footballers ran across a field, FOUR times !!.

There may be a war in Ukraine but some footballers ran across a field four times. BBC news at its finest.

Not reading that sycophantic drivel.

No doubt how the cones and mannequins were brought to the training pitch is indicative of a new exciting era.

What's amazing is that the players were seen chasing back hard !

The lazy cunts normally amble about on matchdays.

I think the more interesting story on the BBC website is how all clubs in the top 4 leagues could be owned by American investor's in the next 5 to 10 years and how this would be incredible for other clubs who could do a WREXHAM you couldn't make it up the story is not open for comment strangely enough

There is the very reason why the BBC needs to be defunded by the public.

Oh right, so all clubs can make it to the Premier League then? Cool, a season could be spread over 4 years then, awarding the title like the Olympics.

There is a lot of money sloshing around in the game and it really would not come as a shock to me if it transpired that certain BBS Sport executives were being 'rewarded' for pushing pro-USA narratives by entities wanting a full-blown US takeover of our beloved sport. I would not be at all surprised if 20 years from now the PL had been rebranded as PLS and operated as a franchise system.

Well based on Bluemoon, a start’s been made hasn’t it? I mean judging by the comments on here there aren’t actually any posters who pay their licence fee is there?

I paid mine when I lived in the UK, and I will do when I'm back (if it still exists - the licence fee, not the country). The BBC as a whole offers a decent service (most TV, local radio, World Service, online services such as Bitesize and Click, on-demand services, etc.). It's just poorly managed at the corporate level, and BBC Sport and BBC News have lost the plot somewhat.

I don’t even think it’s BBC Sport pal. It’s BBC Football.

I agree, but there is no way that BBC Sport executives are completely oblivious to what's going on, especially with all the complaints they must receive on a daily basis. It's blatant, and someone at the top must have given it the green light.

I get the hatred for Sky, I really do. Their sychophantic behaviour to the cartel clubs and in particular the scum is sickening to the extreme. Their treatment of City is based on their loyalty to the clubs that made their business model a success and why they continue to pump billions into the premier league.

I understand why a number of Bluemoon posters mean well by telling others not to pay the subscription fee and I agree with them if it was based solely on their broadcasting bias towards the red clubs and obvious hatred of us, but and it’s a big but, without Sky TV, we would not be the the world’s most successful club of the past decade.

If Sky TV did not pump billions of pounds into the Premier League then Sheikh Mansour would never have been near us.

There would have never been the Aguero moment, we would never have had The Centurions, The Fourmidables, The only domestic treble winning team in the history of English Football, The only true Treble winning team in the history of English football, the first football team to win four top division titles in a row. The title winning comeback against Villa. The Gerard slip against Chelsea. Vincent Kompany’s goal gains Leicester in our 14 wins in a row to beat Liverpool by one point.

Every one of those is a memory implanted in our brains that will bring a positive emotional response in all of us that would never exist if Sky didn’t pump billions into the Premier League.

I’d imagine that Sheikh Mansour is now a massive Man City fan along with Khaldoon but I don’t believe they were in 2008. They saw a business opportunity in the returns that the Premier league could provide and unlike the Yanks they came with a plan to build the best team in the world and with it the rewards.

Sky TV indirectly made us the best team in the world. Our problem with Sky is that Sky don’t realise that yet.

I pay my Sky subscription without shame. It’s their money that brings the best players to the Premier League. It’s their money that brought Sheikh Mansour, Aguero, Yaya, David Silva, Zabba, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Balon d’or winner Rodri, Erling Haaland, countless other players and the greatest manager in the modern game Pep Guardiola to our club.

I will probably get a loaded fire stick one day and stop paying for Sky but when we all do that, where is the money coming from to keep the Premier League as the best league in the world?
