Yes, I don't observe too many tears being shed over the possible departure of Whittaker  

I see that Alan Browne is surplus to requirements at Sunderland and may be on his way back up to Preston. I thought he was great for us last season...

I have been pleading the case for Sorba Thomas on here ever since our recruitment team scouted Huddersfield and decided that Burgzorg was the man for ...

@werdermouth Thanks for the link. Just spent a delicious half-hour wandering down memory lane, and your piece still stands up. Behind the humour ...

@powmillnaemore Brilliant stuff. I do not for a moment believe your final sentence

@werdermouth We all remember much of what you have written over the years Werder, so it must have been, by definition, memorable. I recall especi...

Very clever and most enjoyable, Martin. Funnily enough I recommended The Maltese Falcon last month to a friend who is running an all male Reading Gr...

I hope that James Morrison gets a really warm reception this afternoon. He will always have a special place in the affections of many Boro supporter...

Thanks Andy. No matter what the game or who our opponents, we know that you will always produce something that is beautifully written and highly perce...

Sam Byrom is a player I have always disliked as an opponent. A good competent player, but someone who embodies the "Dirty Leeds" tradition. Good. It...

Byram is just the sort we need

The game is live on Sky Sports+ for domestic viewers, I think, hence its limited availability worldwide

BTW Those three experienced defenders weighed in with 11 goals last season, more from open play than Conway, Strelec or any of our other strikers, apa...

Thanks Dormo. Stylish as ever even under extreme time pressure. Good discussion above on our defensive problems. Of which there are two: our vulne...

I have just read the view of one Stephen Killen, Senior Football Writer (I wouldn't mind wagering he is still in his mid 20s and wedded to his phone) ...

  Can anyone explain to me why our 6' 7" keeper stays on his line while the opposition score with a header from a corner inside our 6 yard box?...

Totally dominant and deserving our lead but could be 3-1 down. Fluent passing football- we have scarcely played better- but silly overplaying at th...

@werdermouth Brilliant !

Lovely opener, Jarkko, with some recollections of Blackburn, which may have been disappointing for you but attest to your dedication as a Boro support...

I liked Adam Reach. Lovely lad, very talented and I always felt he could do a good job for us, I was sorry to see him leave. I remember being quite...

Good to have you back,Bob, and best wishes for your forthcoming op. I have a-fib and when doctors advised me to avoid activities that might get me e...

I'm guilty of having made assumptions about Vitek that may be less than fair. Brynn is a keeper who is very good at catching the ball in often crowded...

@martin-bellamy Yes I did say I wasn't making a judgment. It was really about my own expectations that, given the sheer size of our new keeper, his...

It was very telling that when McGree was introduced he immediately produced far more creativity than anything we had seen in the first half. That was ...

@werdermouth If you are looking for a nom de plume you will be hard put to better the wit of your current handle. What about going for the name o...

Boro maxed out on the Spence add-ons, the £12m original fee inflating to £20m given Spence's first team and European Championship appearances and Engl...

Welcome back, Dormo. Great to know that you are up for the new season and look forward to your words of wisdom.

Absolutely brilliant, Werder. You could write an instruction manual and it would still be hilarious, such is your talent with words. it reminds ...

Looking forward to your contributions Billog. Let's hope we don't see too many Bill ogs from Ayling during the season
