Under The Abbey Stand

The U's welcome in 2021 with two wins on the bounce, putting the UTAS boys and their negative ways to shame. Jordan Worland, Tom Walker and Owen Kiernan spend most of this talking about Wessi's wonders, but there's also time for some Adam May, January transfers, defence analysis, and the impenetrable fog against Harrogate.

We've already won this league.

In the first of our new shorter, bitesize pods, we look over United's 2-1 victory over league leaders Newport. Most of the chat is about Wes Hoolahan, but obviously we also take in a wonderful team performance, the monsoon conditions, the sublime commemorative shirt, and Ol' McMullin working his charm as United start their march up the football league.We'll have a full-length pod next week for your listening pleasure.

Well, that's it. League 2 is over for another season, this time prematurely, and while the virus has put the world to a stop, one thing it can't do is throw up any circumstances so bizarre and far-fetched that the U's can get into the play-offs. Probably as it should be. In our end of season show, we give out the best and worst awards of the season, and have a bit of a weird chat about rollercoasters. We'll be around over the summer with special bonus pods, and back next season for even more classic content. [email protected]@AbbeyStandPod This is a public episode.

In the middle of the outbreak of a viral pandemic, UTAS decide now is the time to finally get back in the studio and spread their own brand of national fear and panic. Namely, just who is going to be taking the Cambridge United hotseat?The full UTAS squad also look back at the failed (and largely painful) Colin Calderwood regime, assess Mark Bonner's time as interim Head Coach, discuss why Tisdale won't bother commuting to East Anglia, and also some chat about goalkeepers and this insanely expensive stadium.

We've never spoken about how bad Cambridge United's home form is. Never. So when high-flying Exeter City came to the Abbey, we had full confidence in a comfortable 4-0 victory.

Cambridge United are back in business and inconsistency is the name of the game. From two fantastic away wins to another home slump, UTAS are here to dissect United's pitiful home form, a deserved or undeserved contract extension, and Reggie Lambe's advantages as a flying left wing-back (HINT: not a lot).

UTAS are back to bring you a thorough, comprehensive, and all round complimentary 2019/20 Season Preview. In the first episode of the season, we answer all the big questions: can Cambridge United finish in the top 20 this season? Can a strikerless formation work in League 2?

As the season draws to a close, UTAS are here to spread more "joy", "laughter" and "happiness". Sort of... It's fair to say it's been a season to forget, and our second to last show of the 2018/19 season takes a look at the U's 3-0 defeat at the hands of Newport County, the season run-in, and the small matter of the published finances.Feel free to tweet or email us with any questions, comments or general abuse.www.undertheabbeystand.com @[email protected] This is a public episode.

A year to the day since our debut, we're back for a belated first show of 2019. For once, the UTAS boys managed to be positive and not sit and moan for an hour - imagine! Most of this show was spent talking about defensive stability, imposing home form, Gary Deegan, and George Taft's titanic tackle (not like that…). Enjoy.Next show will be after Oldham (H) on the 9th of March.www.undertheabbeystand.com@[email protected] This is a public episode.

To lighten up your Christmas, the master of quizzes Lewis Jones came in to UTAS HQ to put us to the test and see if we do actually know a single thing we're talking about (no need for the spoilers here...).Hope you have a fantastic Christmas and New Year, let's hope for some better results and less miserable podcasts come 2019.

Merry Christmas UTAS faithful! We're here to provide some much needed pre-Christmas gloom with a review of Joe Dunne's managerial reign and an attempted look forward at what might be to come under Colin Calderwood.It's fair to say it's not been the best of times for the U's recently, but we at UTAS massively appreciate everyone's support, even when skies are grey.

UTAS were lucky enough to sit down with Graham Daniels, Director of Football, and Shaun Grady, Director of Business, to pose a set of questions regarding this summer's recruitment strategy and our financial shortfall that a lot of United fans feel have remained inadequately answered.There’s a lot of other topics we could have touched on but given a time constraint they remain uncommented on for now. Most importantly, the dialogue is open from fans to board, and we thank the club for their honesty and transparency in this interview and hopefully in the future.If you’d like to send any feedback or abuse, do get in touch via email or social media.@[email protected] This is a public episode.

The UTAS chaps were joined by Jordan Worland for the second time this season to discuss a superb performance and result at Stevenage, followed by the exact opposite at home to Carlisle. We promise we tried our best to be positive, but sometimes in the life of a U's fan, it's just not that simple.We looked ahead to a tricky looking pair of fixtures in a trip to Colchester and test against Mansfield at The Abbey, took your questions, discussed the Checkatrade Trophy and iFollow streaming, analysed the performance of our very own Jack Swindlehurst in the half-time skip challenge and, of course, took on the dreaded Football Jenga.Twitter and Instagram: @[email protected] This is a public episode.

Recording this episode right after the Cheltenham game might not have been the best idea… It's essentially four blokes in a room mouthing off about the bad state of their football team to a microphone.Discussions ranged from how blunt the U's are up front, the need for more attacking options, and that we should dip into the loan market for, well, probably a striker. And maybe a centre-back too? Just anything really. Remember to send in your Cambridge United bets of the week, and we'll tell you which one we're picking in the next show. £5 bet on UTAS, all proceeds going to the club trust if it's a winner.

DISCLAIMER: We had some difficulty getting a studio space this week, so we improvised. Four mics and a mixer in Jordan Worland's bedroom, that's the dream ain't it? But as a result, some of the audio is low quality, there might be some intermittent popping sounds, and some slight crackling. They're all minor errors which we've learned from, and won't happen again - hopefully they don't spoil your listening experience too much.This week we talked about Ade Azeez and Jabo Ibehre, reviewed Port Vale, Notts County and Newport, and Tom Walker sets off on a rant about our recruitment policy. We also preview our trip to play the Cobblers and Exeter's visit to the Abbey, along with the return of football jenga.Warning: this is a very pessimistic podcast from start to finish.Twitter + Instagram: @[email protected] This is a public episode.

We're back! But don't get too excited, it's still just three of us in a small, sweaty studio, and the usual mix of uninformed analysis and controversial opinions. Good, isn't it?For the first episode of the 2018/19 season we've attempted a season preview (which not all of us are particularly happy about), looked ahead at United's opening game against Port Vale and had a look back at an incredible summer of football.
