-
The Truffle Pig Cometh
Shayne Lavery’s last-minute winner gave United all three points on Saturday, and that meant that at the 10 game mark, Neil Harris’ team occupy a play-off spot and are just one point off top. Jules, Jord and Tom are in bullish spirits as they look back over the game, and look ahead to the visit of...
-
The Preview Show: Barnsley (A)
We all got a nice Tuesday night without United this week, but don’t get used to it. After a trip to Oakwell this weekend, it’s two busy weeks of League One action, with Harris’ outfit trying to keep pace at the top end of the division. The first test is a trip to Yorkshire, and for the third week...
-
Shine On You Diamond Geezers
You can’t ask for better Saturdays than that really. United added another three points to the tally with a 1-0 win against ten-man Blackpool, and secured that first elusive clean sheet of the season. Tom and Jord are on review duties, looking back over the game and daring to start asking whether...
-
The Preview Show: Blackpool (H)
It’s back to League One action for United, and back to Preview Show duties for UTAS. Ian Evatt’s Blackpool come to the Abbey looking to get their season back on track after a poor run, but Harris’ U’s will have plenty to say about that. Matt and Swindle are on the show looking ahead to the game,...
-
Slender Deficit Mentality
Another game, another half-time deficit to overcome. The U’s eventually made the pressure tell and found a last-gasp equaliser thanks to Zak Bradshaw at the back post in a goal basically no one saw. Jordan, Caspell and Jules are the three tasked with another Monday morning pod to go through the...
-
The Preview Show: AFC Wimbledon (H)
The good news is we have a football match to watch this weekend, as the new extended international break claims most of the third tier’s schedule. The bad news is alongside injuries it means our call-ups have left the U’s with an extremely depleted squad for what might be one of our biggest games...
-
Rowing And Rowing
United travelled to their university city counterparts in Oxford on Saturday afternoon and came away with a battling 1-1 draw, maintaining their unbeaten away record in the process with Ben Knight adding another goal to his tally. Matt and Jordan are on review duties this week, chatting about Dom...
-
The Preview Show: Oxford United (A)
Cambridge United head to the Kassam Stadium in search of back-to-back wins and maintaining their unbeaten away record, against a side that have started the season brilliantly despite their off-pitch troubles. Will it be a schooling, or will the U’s of Cambridge graduate with flying colours?…

Saved By The Kell
It was a royally good comeback against Reading on Saturday, with two defender headers securing the points for the U’s. In this week’s review show, Jord belts out a perfect intro, Tom gets to chat about Pelly actually being good, and Swindle runs his verdict over the best puns. Alongside that...
-
The Preview Show: Reading (H)
It’s been a midweek without a game or a transfer window to distract us. So have the UTAS panel got over the refereeing calamities from Burton and Huddersfield? Well, no. The show starts as it means to go on with the man in the middle from the Burton game very much still the target, But after they...
-
Offed By The Officials
United were minutes from holding out for a perfect week of two away wins. But just like last Saturday, the referee made himself the biggest talking point in the dying minutes of the game, awarding Burton an equaliser from what looked a certain handball. Tom, Jord and Matt are on the review pod…
more -
The Preview Show: Burton (A)
We’re all getting spoilt by an extra long and extra exciting Preview Show this week, featuring a look back at United’s late 2-1 win at Bradford thanks to a Ben Knight beauty, and a look forward to Saturday’s trip to Burton to find out a bit more about what we can anticipate there. Tom and Swindle...
-
Muggedoff.com
United managed to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory, as Huddersfield Town came to the Abbey and inflicted United’s first league defeat of the season. Jules, Tom and Matt are on the panel to review a cruel afternoon, with a lot of referee chat amongst some huge positives to take from the…
more -
The Preview Show: Huddersfield (H)
Jord and Swindle are manning a bumper Preview Show this week, with a defeat to Millwall in the Carabao cup, a new signing, an imminent departure, and the visit of Huddersfield to look forward to. Matt from ‘And He Takes That Chance’ podcast joins to give the view from the opposition. Subscribe to...
-
Saturday Knight Fever
Away days are back. And this one involved a mile-long queue, a fantastic goal, and a feeling that the U’s might just have come away with all three points on another day. United headed to Bromley for the second game of the campaign and left with a point after an entertaining 1-1 draw that left…
more -
The Preview Show: Bromley (A)
It’s the second Preview Show of the season, and a look ahead to the first away game of the season. That takes United to Hayes Lane to face Bromley in their second ever third tier football match. Jord and Matt are on this week’s show to look ahead to how United might line up to face a side we...
-
We Are So Back
First game back in League One, first three points, and the first league Review Pod of the season. What a way to start the week. United beat Wigan 3-2 and made what could have been a very straightforward afternoon much more nerve racking than anyone wanted. Tom and Jules are on the pod talking…
more -
The Preview Show: Wigan (H)
Welcome back! Did you miss us? The first Preview Show of the season is here, and Jules and Jack are on the case with plenty to talk about: the fans forum (famously not the AGM), United’s new goalkeeper, and the small task of the first game of the League One season. The legendary Barry Worthington...
-
The 2026/27 Season Preview
It’s nearly the eve of the new season, and that means predictions time. Tom, Jules, Matt and Swindle are on the bumper panel this week, looking ahead to a return to League One for United. They go through the current squad and discuss its strengths and weaknesses, before making a series of...
-
Carabao On Tap
It’s not quite pre-season, and it’s not quite proper league action. But there’s nothing better than starting the season off with a win as United come from behind to beat a well-fancied Barnet side with goals from Knight and new boy Heath. Swindle and Jord have season debut duties of their own as...
-
UTAS En España: Day 3
It’s the third and final instalment of UTAS on tour in Spain. On this episode Tom and Jules report live from the Preston friendly, trying and failing to stay out of the baking temperatures, chatting about the 1-0 win and reviewing their time in Murcia. Thank you everyone for listening, it’s been...
-
UTAS Meets: Neil Harris (Again)
Two and a half years after the first one, UTAS finally get their wish and secure the second interview with United’s Proper Geezer. Over in a sweltering Spain, Tom and Jules got the chance to sit down with manager Neil Harris to discuss the World Cup, last season’s success and look ahead to the…
more -
UTAS En España: Day 2
Day two is here, and if you haven’t noticed it’s hot. Today, Tom and Jules went down to watch the U’s train in the midday heat, and then got the chance to chat to Dom Ball, Kell Watts and Pelly Ruddock. They chatted about where the success of last season came from and what to expect from the next...
-
UTAS En España: Day 1
A pre-season friendly against Preston… in Spain. What’s not to love? Tom and Jules are reporting from United’s pre-season training camp in Murcia for the next few days, so strap in. Follow their first day as they travelled from Stansted to the Murcia Region, catching up about all things United…
more -
Fancy Seeing You Here
Three familiar faces are back at the Abbey this week, as the club confirm the loan signing of Gassan Ahadme and the re-signings of Shayne Lavery and Shane McLoughlin. It’s a lot to get your head round, so Tom and Jules met up in an East London beer garden for a catch-up including transfer chat,...
-
A Stead Of Steam
It’s been a minute since the UTAS boys have graced your airwaves. And there’s been plenty going on at United: a few new signings, fixture release day, and the small matter of the Vertu draw. Alongside that, UTAS is going global, with an unmissable audio diary from Tom Walker from across the pond....
-
UTAS Meets: Michael Morrison
247 appearances in the amber and black over two spells, capped off with a promotion. This season was the perfect way to say goodbye to Michael Morrison, a man who will go down as a certified United legend. It was an honour to have him join the pod to chat about his career, from his debut over 20...
-
The 25/26 Season Review (Part Two)
The second part of our mammoth season review is here, where Jules, Jord, Jack and Tom braved a boiling hot studio to chat about every up and down of the campaign. It was far more ups than downs though, and Part Two takes us from December through to the promotion-winning end of the season, and...
-
The 25/26 Season Review (Part One)
What a season that was. The numbers do all the talking, but how does a two hour review of every month of the campaign sound? That’s what UTAS are here for. Jord, Jules, Jack and Tom braved the heatwave for a long recording session in the Portland studio, looking back over the season…
more -
The Season Debrief with Bonner and Tunbridge
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.undertheabbeystand.com With a season back in the third tier on the horizon, UTAS got the chance to have a sit down with CEO Alex Tunbridge and Director of Football Mark Bonner to chat about what the League Two promotion looked like...
-
The Retained List Review
It’s only a few sleeps ago we confirmed promotion back to League One at Crewe, but football never stops. Just as quickly, United have released the 25/26 retained list, saying goodbye to a host of faces who were crucial in securing our instant return to the third tier. Caspell, Jules and Swindle…
more -
Proper Geezers
We did it. At the first time of asking, Cambridge United have been promoted back to League One. And we did it in the nerviest way possible, drawing 0-0 at Crewe and waiting for a few agonising minutes as Salford couldn’t find the winner at Crawley that would leapfrog us. Join Matt, Tom and Jules…
more -
The Preview Show: Crewe (A)
Well, this is it everyone. Do or die (well, do or play-offs, I guess, but that’s less catchy). We know the equation: win and we’re up. It really is as simple as that… but when is football ever that simple? Matt and Jules are the nervy duo on the Preview Show which this week is an actual Thursday...
-
Put The Smirnoff Ice On Ice
It was, thankfully, a comfortable afternoon on Saturday. A 3-0 win in the glorious April sunshine at the Abbey that sent Barrow to the foot of the 92, and kept our fate on final day in our own hands. A win at Crewe and we’re back in League One at the first time of asking, anything else and we’ll…
more -
The Preview Show: Barrow (H)
This week has not gone to plan. A Tuesday night loss against Grimsby in our game in hand followed by Salford taking all three points against Bromley on Thursday means the promotion race will go to the final day. To keep it in our hands, we just need to beat a relegation-threatened Barrow on...
-
The One With The Game In Hand
It feels like an age since the U’s drew 0-0 at Bromley. Since Thursday’s game live on Sky, our opponents from that night have been promoted, and the run-in picture has flipped on its head with a new leader in the chasing pack. Tom and Jules step in to react to the latest in the promotion hunt…
more -
The Preview Show: Bromley (A)
A Thursday night that could end up being season defining? It’s a trip down to deepest South London in front of the Sky cameras for a chance to back up a huge win on Saturday, and a slim chance to get involved in a very late and unlikely title chase. It’s a big preview show with Matt and Jules,...
-
Gibbonanza
Now that’s what you call a statement win. It was billed as the biggest game of the season to date, and the U’s came out of it emphatic winners, putting four goals past Notts County and leapfrogging them back into the automatics. As a result it’s a jubilant review pod and Jordan, Matt and Tom have...
-
The Preview Show: Notts County (H)
Preview shows don’t get much bigger than this. The Magpies come to town in a gigantic 3rd vs 4th match-up at the top end of League 2, in a game that will have huge ramifications for who ends up being promoted automatically. Jordan and Jack are battling their nerves to preview the game, and…
more -
Nailed By The Cross
They’ve done it again. Twice over the Easter weekend United let a 1-0 lead slip out of their grasp in stoppage time. Thursday’s performance against Swindon gave us a few positives to cling onto, Monday’s showing and the result that comes with it give very, very little. On this week’s review show,...
-
The Preview Show: Swindon (H)
April kicks off with a huge game at the Abbey on Thursday night to kick off Easter weekend, as 4th play 5th with Swindon coming to town. For United, it’s a chance to jump back into the automatic promotion places and put a bit of a gap between ourselves and another promotion rival. Can Holloway…
more -
Bee Stings And Bird Poos
File that one under ‘classic Cambridge United’. Backed by a sell-out 1800 capacity away end, Harris’ U’s managed to disappoint the amber nation on Saturday afternoon in North London by succumbing to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of play-off chasing Barnet. On this week’s review show, Tom and Jord…
more -
The Preview Show: Barnet (A)
A sell-out away end backing the boys in Barnet this weekend, as United look to keep the momentum up in the hunt for automatic promotion. Tom and Matt are on Friday preview pod duties, and they’re joined by the Bee Brief to get an opposition preview. Subscribe to the Coconut Tier to get: 📚At…
more -
Beware Of Head Injuries
A big, big win in a big, big game. United beat Salford 1-0 thanks to man of the match James Gibbons’ long, looping header. Tom, Jules and Jord are on the panel to dissect all the match action alongside the latest chapter of run-in chat, which includes a storytime from Mr Worland on the 1998/99...
-
The Preview Show: Salford (H)
The fixtures just get bigger and bigger, so big you’ll need a thesaurus by the time Notts County and Bromley roll around. Next up: Salford City, having lost five on the bounce after a big-spending January, they’re now looking to make it five wins on the spin as they’ve got themselves right back…
more -
Different Dimensions
The reviews are in: it’s five stars for United in a thoroughly dominant performance, on a day where the top three won but the other two in the hunt lost, allowing a tiny bit of breathing room – for now at least. Jord, Matt and Swindle are on the panel, chatting about all the goals and looking…
more -
The Preview Show: Gillingham (H)
After two draws on the bounce, it’s a presentable home fixture against Gareth Ainsworth’s Gillingham next, who roll into town fresh off a 5-1 hammering on Tuesday against our promotion rivals MK Dons. Matt and Swindle are on preview duties, joined by Gills in the Blood for a deeper look into what...
-
Three Runner Beans
Fresh off their big efforts in the half marathon, there’s nothing Matt and Tom will want to be doing more than discussing a tough afternoon in the North West. United themselves huffed and puffed in search of an equaliser and then a winner, but could only find the latter on an afternoon where no…

The Preview Show: Accrington (A)
Donate to the UTAS and Josh Coulson half marathon effort! All proceeds go to the Cambridge United Foundation: https://www.givengain.com/project/matt-raising-funds-for-cambridge-united-foundation-117358 It’s a visit up to Accrington next up for the U’s as they look to put any thought of that...
-
Pipped To The Post
United were 2 minutes away from a massive three points on Saturday, but a late penalty denied them a win that would have kept them two points from top and put a five point gap between themselves and Milton Keynes. It can be a cruel game, but there’s still plenty of positives to take. Tom, Jules…
