Pete and Dud - The Dagenham Dialogues

Dagenham And Redbridge And That…

This “seventh heaven” concept is a strange one to us. After all, what’s so wrong with the first, second and – cor blimey – even the third versions of the afterlife that you’d want to sack off the first six and head for the door marked “seven”? Well, it seems to …

Is This The Way To… Carlisle? Oh?

If you hear that Tony Christie’s Is This The Way To Amarillo is back in the charts, it may just have something to do with us. We have no idea why, but it’s back on our playlist here at BoroGuide HQ. It gives us a little trip down memory lane, if …

So, You Wanna Talk About Preston?

It’s quite incredible how our recent run – 10 points from a possible 12 – has the ability to transform Boro’s fortunes. The bottom 10 is separated by just eight points at the moment, so it’s maybe not that surprising that a string of results can have a massive impact …

Tranmere? You Bet!

Thrills And Gills

Has it stopped raining? Do we actually think we might see some football this week? It’d be nice to think so – one-and-a-half weeks since the Everton game and two-and-a-half weeks since our last league game, we were starting to get withdrawal symptoms. First up now we have a fixture …

Is This One Actually Going To Happen?

If you haven’t been paying attention this January, it’s either been raining its arse off or the English Channel is now 20 miles larger than it was. Most of southern England is no longer there – submerged and no more than a British version of Atlantis, except with more Tesco …

Be Bop A Crewe-laa…

The year is 1956 and some fella called Gene Vincent is on the verge of making it big on the other side of the pond after dabbling with what the kids call “rockabilly”. Britain is cocking things up over the Suez Canal, the people of Australia are introduced to television …
