Fortnightly podcast, fanzine and amber institution. Cambridge United for the masses; from the Abbey with misery.
We’re absolutely thrilled to be joined by a true Cambridge United legend, John ‘Shaggy’ Taylor. Across two spells, Shaggy became one of the most iconic figures at the club, scoring 86 league goals in more than 330 appearances – more than any other person in the club’s history – and earning his place in the Hall of Fame for his unforgettable contribution…
A review of a game at MK, and for once, we’re not reviewing a defeat. The U’s crack the code and come away with a point which arguably could have been all three. Caspell, Tom and Jules chat through their day, the game, and where it leaves United ahead of the Christmas period.

After conceding a gutting last minute equaliser at home to Chesterfield on Tuesday, the task for United is simple: pick yourselves back up and go again on Saturday. And it’s a tough assignment away to the much-fancied Milton Keynes FC. Jordan and Jack are on the pod, reviewing Tuesday night and previewing Saturday where they’re joined by MK fan Jonathan to help look ahead to the opposition.

A surprising cup win on penalties to review and a boring cup draw against Birmingham to preview. It could have been better, it could have been worse. But we’re back to league action on Tuesday night, with Chesterfield coming to the Abbey under the lights, and we were joined by Spireite Dave for a match preview.

It was a pleasure to be joined by one of Cambridge United’s owners, Mark Green. Joining us live from Las Vegas, we spoke about his background, his career, his passion for football and United, how his investment came around, and what his future hopes and dreams are with the club.

It’s a cup special on the preview show this week, as Matt and Jules look back at defeat on penalties down in the West Country in the Vertu, and then look ahead to a long trip to the North West in the second round of the FA Cup. They’re joined by Steve from Stockport pod The Scarf Bergara Wore to help preview the opposition.

Back-to-back wins! Into the playoffs! A last minute winner! A penalty! It was an afternoon of firsts on Saturday, and it capped off a nearly perfect November. Tom, Caspell and Swindle are on hand this week to look over the comeback win against Crewe and review what has turned into a brilliant month for United.

After a week of sporting disappointment down under for Jules, he’s back on hosting duties in the hope United don’t make it two in a row. Matt ‘D’you know what I mean’ Caspell is with him, to look ahead to the visit of the Railwaymen in a game that presents a big opportunity for the U’s to keep progressing up the table.

Five clean sheets in a row, two away goals, and finally an away win. It was a sweet afternoon up at Holker Street, as it often is for United, with an impeccable record there. It’s deja vu as Matt and Jord are back on duties to look over the game.

It’s Radiohead week for Matt and Jord, and the Preview Show has been overrun with references. It’s no surprises that we have a striker crisis on our hands, and there’s worries United might start to creep down the table, etc. They’re on the panel to look ahead to our longest away trip of the year.

Over 270 minutes since United’s last league goal, and another 0-0 draw to review. Will someone please think of the pod content? Jord, Jules and Swindle are on the panel this week, talking less about match action but a lot about how to fix a seriously struggling attack.
