Under The Abbey Stand

It’s been a quiet week at United, much to the displeasure of our fans. No signings through the door, and on Tuesday night we dropped to the bottom of the league with Burton winning. The only way is up? Jules and Jack are on preview duties this week to look ahead to the Mansfield game with the help of Craig from Mansfield Matters. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique inde...

It was so nearly a perfect afternoon in the North West, as the U’s battled well and were just a handful of minutes away from taking all three points at Bolton. But after a last minute own goal, it wasn’t to be, and Jord and Jules are on the panel this week to ask if it’s one point gained or two dropped. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spir...

United finally bring someone in in the January Window, in the shape of a Slovakian goalkeeper. Caspell and Swindle talk about the incoming Marosi, as well as looking ahead to the daunting trip to Bolton’s Toughsheet Community Stadium. Featuring a fan preview from The Fanzone podcast. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the...

A busy week at the Abbey, but not for the reasons we might have been expecting. The club released the second statement of the season backing Monk, and there’s plenty to discuss as Jules is back from holiday to join Matt in picking through the bones of it. There’s also a game up in the North West to preview, with the help of friend of the pod Jack Fallon. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Str...

The lads delayed recording ahead of a corner flag that never appeared! Jordan, Tom and Swindle look back at another home loss for United - this time at the hands of Bristol Rovers. With a lot of chat about Garry Monk, poor defending and a needless sending off… And an unorthodox start to the pod. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merc...

Jack Swindlehurst and Tom Walker sit down and look back to a New Year’s Day home defeat to The Royals of Reading, heavily featuring old boys Harvey Knibbs and Sam Smith.

We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wi...

The festive period brought no good tidings for United, and we end 2024 with a 2-0 loss to Leyton Orient - exactly as we started it. Jord, Tom and Matt are this week’s panellists to look back at two away defeats in London at Charlton and Orient respectively, and look ahead to a New Year’s Day game against Reading. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, bee...

Jordan, Tom and Caspell sit down and dissect an absolutely awful 4-0 loss at the Abbey to Huddersfield Town. Given it’s Christmas and no one really knows what day it is, the lads also look ahead to the Boxing Day trip to Charlton and then onto Leyton Orient away, 3 days later. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre...

After some last-minute Hollywood Blockbuster action at the weekend, Jordan and Swindle turn their attention to welcoming the Terriers to the Abbey, under the lights. High-flying Huddersfield visit Cambridge but the boys discuss the reasons to be optimistic and who is going to run the show in the middle of the park for United. Featuring a preview from And He Takes That Chance Huddersfield Town podc...

Well, Hollywood you believe it? The U’s deservedly snatch a late point at high-flying Wrexham, watched on by Ryan Reynolds, Channing Tatum, and of course Tom Walker and Matt Caspell. They’re joined by Jordan to take a look over an ending worthy of any blockbuster. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge...

Fresh off the back of a huge three points against fellow strugglers Shrewsbury, United head to North Wales for maybe the toughest test in the division right now. Wrexham are the best home team in the league and currently joint top in their first season back in League One. Can Monk’s boys spring an upset? We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spi...

Jordan and Tom look back at a great Saturday’s work at the Abbey, beating Gareth Ainsworth’s Shrews 4-1 and closing the gap towards safety to three points. The boys talk early goals, opposition goalies and of course an in-depth preview of the Vertu Cup trip to Cheltenham on Tuesday (not). We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants i...

Swindle and Caspell dissect an absolutely awful Tuesday night defeat away to Reading, before looking ahead to a crunch game at the bottom of League One against Shrewsbury. Jordan also catches up with Salopcast to get an away take on United's biggest game of the season so far.

It was a gut punch of a defeat in the FA Cup Second Round this weekend, as Wigan got their revenge for the U’s 2-0 win a few weeks before and progressed to Round 3. Jordan was on hand to give us the review of the game from the Abbey, and alongside Jules they looked ahead to a trip to Reading with the help of Alex from Elm Park Royals. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique...

It’s a long trip down to East Anglia for Wigan, and must feel even longer making it twice in two months. On this week’s Preview Show, Jordan and Swindle look ahead to meeting the Latics in the cup this weekend to see if the U’s can continue their good form and book a place in Round Three. They are of course joined by the inimitable Barry Worthington from the Progress with Unity podcast. We’re deli...

It’s one of the classic footballing cliches: one point gained, or two dropped? U’s added another clean sheet to the tally, this time at Sixfields with a 0-0 draw against the Cobblers, but in truth Storm Bert was the real winner. Jord, Swindle and Tom look back over the game, as well as previewing Bolton at home on Tuesday night with the help of Ben from The Fanzone podcast. We’re delighted to be s...

The U’s travel to Sixfields looking to build on their good point last week, and this week’s Preview Show asks all the big questions: how big a game really is this? How many espresso martinis can you drink in an hour? And do you remember the starting 11 from this fixture in 2003? Jules and Caspell are on hand to see you into the weekend. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a uniq...

Bouncing back against Barnsley? We’ll take the point. It’s a shorter pod this week as commitments meant we just couldn’t find the time to discuss Shayne Lavery’s much welcome return for the full hour, but Tom and Jules still found time to look back on that very decent point at home to the Tykes as United settled the nerves a bit after last week’s derby disaster. We’re delighted to be sponsored by...

Bouncing back is the order of the day. How can the U’s get the fans back on side after last week’s derby day disaster? Jord and Jules are on preview show duties again this week, hoping that that means a better result than after the last time they did one. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge. Use the...

The less said about that one the better. Jord, Tom and Caspell drew the short straw and after an extra day off to reflect, are on hand to look over the second disaster at London Road in as many years. It’ll take some getting over, this one. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge. Use the code UTAS10 to...

The week you’ve all been waiting for. This weekend at London Road sees the first of the Cambridgeshire derby games for the season. Fresh off the back of five wins in all competitions, without a goal conceded, United have picked up their form going into it, but the memories of last season remain. Jord and Jules look ahead to the game, with the help of Charlie from Up The Poshcast. We’re delighted t...

The unthinkable happened. Not four wins on the bounce, not even four clean sheets on the bounce, but James Brophy scored a goal. There probably couldn’t have been a more popular goalscorer at Woking on Saturday than Brophy as he confirmed United’s passage to the second round of the FA Cup, and the pod get together to discuss the game and, more importantly, the goalscorer. We’re delighted to be spo...

After a perfect week in the league, the U’s turn their attentions to the FA Cup First Round, with a tie against non-league Woking. A throwback from our Conference days but also a presentable chance to progress to the second round. The boys were joined by Woking fan Ben Musgrove to get a preview of the Cards ahead of the game. We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independ...

The. Perfect. Week. Three wins, three clean sheets, and three games that might have saved our season. United beat Burton in a scrappy affair, but no one cares, as Jordan Cousins smashed home from close range to secure another vital three points. Tom and Caspell are on a two-man review pod this week to chat through that game and a week that couldn’t have gone any better.  We’re delighted to be spon...
