Under The Abbey Stand

The international break yielded no reward for the U’s. Again, despite plenty of encouraging aspects, United couldn’t make it count and left Field Mill empty-handed. Jord, Jules and Tom try not to just rinse and repeat previous pods and, as well as talking through what went wrong during Saturday’s game, they discuss if there’s a wider disconnect behind-the-scenes at the club.We’re delighted to be sponsored by King Street Cellar, a unique independent wine, beer and spirits merchants in the centre of Cambridge.

The search for a win continues. Jules and Jord are on preview pod duties again this week, looking ahead to see if the U’s can pick up that precious first three points of the season at home to a Blackpool side who sacked their manager Neil Critchley in midweek.

Is it really that nice to be back? Crawley Town left the Abbey with all six points on Saturday as the U’s made it two losses from two games, and this week’s pod is another chance to try and pick apart the bones of it. Jordan, Jack and Tom are on this week’s panel, asking were there any positives to take? Just how desperate are we for some reinforcements up front? And how has it affected people’s confidence (or lack of it) for the rest of the season?

The first of roughly 46 review shows this season is ready to go in your feeds, and hopefully they’re not all looking back at pretty meek U’s defeats.

If you open a dictionary and turn the page to the definition for 'cult hero', you'll find Kwesi Appiah at Cambridge United. A half-season loan spell from Crystal Palace that meant so much more during a promotion season that has gone down in folklore as one of United's best and definitely most important campaigns in their history. Despite not appearing at Wembley, it'll never be forgotten how important Kwesi's goals were that helped take us there in the first half of that season. Tom sits down with the man who fans still link with us every transfer window to discuss his memories of that season, his time with the U's, and his international career, amongst a host of other things.Subscribe to our website and get all our Ten Years On pods straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comAnd get in touch with the pod here:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] up: Josh Coulson...

Pods don't come more special than this one. And teams don't come more special than United's legendary 2013/14 promotion-winning team. To celebrate a whole decade since Delano day, "Are you not entertained?", "Donaldson with a curler" and 10 minutes of stoppage time that felt like an hour, we've put together a two-part special looking back at that season month-by-month.Alongside Julian, Jack, Tom and Jordan reminiscing on their memories of that year, we had the pleasure of speaking to key members of that team that finally took the U's back into the football league after an agonising 9 year absence. Episode Two starts at the turn of the year, as Luton had just overtaken the U's in the league. We go through the poor run of form at the start of 2014, how the FA Trophy run helped us prepare for the play off, and then go in-depth for a few of the biggest moments in the club's history as we finally win promotion back to the Football League on that glorious afternoon in the sunshine at Wembley.Thanks very much to Richard Money, Tom Champion, Kwesi Appiah, Josh Coulson, Delano Sam-Yorke, Harrison Dunk, Luke Chadwick and Doug Shulman for their time and contributions.

As well as that, they look ahead to the small matter of Bolton away on Saturday with the help of The Fanzone podcast.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

In the latest episode of UTAS Meets, Jordan sits down with former United manager Gary Brabin to chat through his time with the U's. It might have only been one season, but it was as eventful as any, with Brabin leading United to a second successive play-off final and agonisingly losing again to Torquay. As well as that, to mark February being Heart Month, they chat about Brabin's misdiagnosed heart condition, which ended his playing career.This episode is brought to you in partnership with the British Heart Foundation.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

It's derby day defeat for the U's, and it caps off one of the craziest, and arguably worst, weeks for United in living memory. A suitably demoralised panel of Tom, Jules and Caspell are on hand for an extra long pod to have a look at what went wrong against Posh, preview another big Boro game on Tuesday at Stevenage with the help of League One's most positive fan Matt, and chat about the new manager candidates.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

It's not been a quiet week at Cambridge United, that much we can all agree on. For this bumper preview show, we called in the reinforcements, and Tom Walker was raring to go, joining Jordan and Jules to reflect more on Neil Harris' departure as well as the small matter of that lot up the road's visit to the Abbey on Saturday. And a chat about Bolton on Tuesday, which feels like a lifetime ago, thrown in there too.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

Well, there's something to wake you up on a Wednesday morning. Neil Harris agrees to rejoin Millwall and become their manager, leaving the U's 77 days after taking charge. That called for an emergency pod, and Caspell and Jules obliged. But to be honest, you're getting their live reactions here, so it'll be just as confused and shocked as yours are.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

Jack Swindlehurst is joined by Tom Walker and Matt Gooding to look back at a thumping 4-0 victory up in Carlisle, comedy own goals and ahead to the rescheduled visit of Bolton Wanderers (with some inevitable chat about the little matter of our local derby on Saturday).Subscribe to our Substack and get all our website content straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

A long week of away trips for the U's, and that's one down, one loss, one to go. Jordan and Tom have the pleasure of looking at Tuesday's defeat at league leaders Pompey, and then the greater privilege of previewing Saturday's game at Carlisle, one that's gone from not that huge, to very huge. They are helped in doing so by Lee from the Brunton Bugle.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our pods and posts straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

The pod comes crashing down to earth after last week's win with a bruising 1-0 loss at the hands of Cheltenham Town. Swindle, Jules and Tom discuss what went wrong on Saturday at the Abbey, with a lot of chat about the centre midfield and four interesting substitutions, before looking ahead to the small matter of a visit to league leaders Portsmouth on Tuesday night with a preview from Ian Chiverton.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our website content straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStandEmail: [email protected] This is a public episode.

This week's edition of the Preview Show was supposed to be a bit of a bumper episode owing to an in depth review of Tuesday night's game at the Abbey against Bolton. As it turned out, the only thing that was in deep was the pitch after a certified biblical amount of rain left Ian Darler with too much to do. With that game off, Matt and Tom do their best to reach the half hour mark with a chat about abandoned games and a preview of Saturday's big game against Cheltenham with the help of Owen from The Robins Review.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our website content straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comGet in touch with the pod:Socials: @AbbeyStandPod and @[email protected] This is a public episode.

The UTAS boys are back together for this week's review show, and thankfully for Tom and Jules they avoid making it three 0-0s in a row to discuss. Even better, there's the rarely spotted three points away from home for Jord to guide them through, and they spend most of the pod waxing lyrical over Lyle Taylor as a result.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our website content straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comSocials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStand This is a public episode.

With the transfer window closing in an hour, Jules and Swindle took the leap and started recording this week's preview show because, come 10pm, Swindle just cannot keep his eyes open anymore. They have a look at our January window signings, especially Macauley Bonne and James Gibbons, and preview Saturday's trip up to Shrewsbury with the help of Dan from Salopcast.Subscribe to our Substack and get all our website content straight to your email: www.undertheabbeystand.comSocials: @AbbeyStandPod and @UnderTheAbbeyStand This is a public episode.

It was a privilege to have new U's gaffer Neil Harris in the studio this week as he joined Jordan and Jules to chat through his career so far and what's led him to the dugout at the Abbey. They chat January transfer windows, agents, Millwall, Barry Corr, and Neil's plans with the squad for the future - as well as a very short-lived game of football jenga to finish off with.

Two 0-0s is an as many weeks, and the UTAS boys are back together to try and squeeze another pod out of it. Luckily though, not being able to break down 10-man Burton at home did provide some frustration which was enough content to get Tom, Swindle and Jules through.Get in touch with the pod:[email protected]@AbbeyStandPod This is a public episode.

This week's preview show looks ahead to Burton Albion at home as we welcome the Brewers to the Abbey.
