I’m disappointed to lose Big Josh. I hope he thrives alongside Duncan Watmore at Millwall. I think we’ve had a very good window, the loss of Coburn...

I’ve rather felt that the EG has had it in for Engel for some time. True, he was partially to blame for Pompey’s first goal, but I don’t think he’s be...

Another very fine starter, werder. Thank you. I’m not particularly bothered about winning tonight - though I always want Boro to win, of course. I’...

I’m a bit surprised at some of the reactions, tbh. Yes, we’ve made defensive howlers and clearly need to improve that part of our game. But we had 30 ...

Welcome back, Si. It’s great to have you back on board. @forever-dormo I enjoyed your post, Dormo! I must take issue with you on just one point,...

@original-fat-bob Great photo, Bob. So pleased to see Mogga looking so well.

@mw-in-darwin Thanks for the info re John PFC Westwood! Here’s a link:

@lenmasterman I just hope that we manage to hit the target on Saturday and that the crowd don't resort to Frankie Howerd's "Oooh, er, misses" That...

Can I add my thanks and congratulations for another superb opener, Len? Two in a week - we really are spoiled! Keep Josh Coburn? Yes, please! Bo...

Predictions, eh? This is what I wrote pre-Leeds: ‘My heart says we’ll win tomorrow - on penalties, probably. My head, however, thinks we’ll lose, p...

@john-richardson Re the disallowed goal ! Without Goalminder or Hawkeye goal line technology which isn’t used in the championship it’s hard to s...

Yes, glad you’re back with us, Powmill. I hope your knee is getting stronger and that you’re out of pain.

The Guardian has put Boro in its top 3 for automatic promotion, along with Burnley and Leeds. I’m happy with that! They’ve also included Rav as one of...

What a superb opener, Len! You’ve started the season for us in absolute top form! Let’s hope our heroes do the same on Saturday. I’m very optimistic a...

@original-fat-bob If he turns out to be as good as the player Boro developed Rodgers into, he’ll be a bargain! Bring it on!

@stircrazy Utter tosh! I think this is somebody’s fantasy football dream. In any case, I’d want a lot more than £12 million for Hackney. Morgan Rod...

@forever-dormo Bellingham was spotted last night in the Tontine talking to Neil Bausor! I have that on very good authority from my good Korean frie...

Did I say writing other people’s efforts?? Losing the plot! I meant ‘reading’, of course!

@lenmasterman Absolutely Len! I wouldn’t want anybody to feel compelled to use it. I really enjoy writing the different prose (and poetry!) starter...

This is my worked example for Swansea - last season’s statistics, obviously!! Boro v Swansea City Date: Saturday 10 August Time: ...

Hi All Last season, when I was writing my previews, I often found myself using the same information to describe how our opponents were progressing, ...

I’ve put in some dates below. Happy to do others occasionally, if the need arises. Fixture Type Date Writer Swa...

Exmil and KP Just catching up on the blog after a few weeks off. Really sorry to hear about your ongoing health problems. I hope you’re both soon fe...

I’m happy to contribute a few starter articles, probably 6-8 across the season, if they can be reasonably evenly spaced, as last year. Presumably we’l...

I just want to add my best wishes for speedy and successful treatment, Exmil. I’m really sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I hope they treat you well a...

Exmil I’m just catching up on the blog. I’m terribly sorry to hear the news of your illness. I do hope you get positive news this week and that noth...

I doubt it, Jarkko. Ben‘s s good player but he wasn’t really good enough for the Premiership, where he was often exposed by strong attacks. And Sean D...

@philip-of-huddersfield Great post. I enjoyed your ratings. I can’t disagree too much with them, but I might go a touch lower for Barlaser, who I t...

dormo, selwynoz Kieran Maguire has already been voted Championship Manager of the Year, and quite rightly so in my view.
