What does a hike across the #Netherlands tell you? The ten walks that I did to explain that astonishing country, starting with this video. youtu.be/HhJN0Xt_LN0?si…

@Champchatpod24 If we play like we've been playing - never guaranteed in football - we'll get 12. Especially if we start/keeping nailing it in front of goal. We showed against Coventry that finishing was the only thing keeping us from #1 spot. Big ask though.

Middlesbrough maintained their perfect start under Kim Hellberg on Saturday, beating QPR 3-1 at the Riverside! 💯 Looking ahead, how many points do you think your side will amass from their next four matches, Boro fans? 🤔 Let us know! ⬇️ #BORO

@Boro_Breakdown HH has gone up a level (as we knew he could), and it's good to see it's in a Boro shirt as opposed to a Premiership one. But Brynn is the enormous plus for me - what a difference it makes to have a good, young goalkeeper who is brave and a decision maker as well as a shotstopper.

Which #Boro player has impressed you the most so far this season? 🤔⬇️

@mar_boro14 Bold prediction: Coventry will be in the playoffs.

I still believe Ipswich and Southampton will come, they’re undoubtedly the biggest threats for me. Recent history say playoffs for Boro is a shoo-in, top 2 quite likely.🤞 Can Boro and Coventry hold them off? I bloody hope so 🙏 5/5 #Boro #PUSB

So we’re 20 games into the Championship season, and Boro have 39 points (1.95ppg). If we look at the last 10 seasons, where did all of the teams with 39 points or more at this stage finish? 👀 Thread 🧵 1/5

Sugar, spice and slavery - my latest video explaining the Netherlands by walking across it comes from Texel, where I talk about what happened to the Dutch empire between the Golden Age and the Second World War. youtu.be/jQWAhfU6K4c?si…

@BBCTeesSport We were the better team, but we were short in height, have no defined goal threat, and they are excellent in turning transitions into chances. Conway could have finished it, but he's out of form - let's see Strelec. Hackney esp magnificent. #UTB and well done #Coventry

A quick look at the issues that really matter in the #Dutchelections #Netherlands (while hiking in Switzerland)

What are the big issues behind the #DutchElection headlines? I say fairness, housing, foreigners and the environment. Plenty more here: nicholaswalton.substack.com/p/a-piece-of-p… #Netherlands
