* We're back! After a nice break with international action, UTAS are back and raring to go for the run in. Eight games to go, and a mighty relegation battle on our hands, starting with a monster double header over Easter weekend to look forward to. Tom and Jules preview the games away at Barnsley and at home to Wigan with the help of Tracy from Red All Over and Barry from Progress With Unity.

* Just the four goals conceded this Saturday, as United travelled to Reading and got royally stuffed. Jord, Jules and Tom put themselves through another painful therapy session-style pod to look back at the game, before looking forward to a welcome week off.

* Six pointer? Eight pointer? Who knows, but it's a very, very important game. Jordan and Matt are on Preview Show duties this week to look ahead to a massive game at the bottom of League One for the U's against a Reading side that have got much more to worry about than just three points. To discuss the situation there, Jules also spoke to Matt from the Elm Park Royals podcast to get the lowdown on their dire state of affairs.

* Garry Monk introduced himself to the Abbey faithful with a 1-1 draw against Northampton on Saturday, including a fairly positive first half and a drab second one. Jules, Tom and Swindle are on the panel this week looking at another point added to our total, and chatting centre midfield options, Lyle Taylor, and previewing a trip to the league's form team Lincoln on Tuesday night, with the help of Charlie from the Stacey West podcast.

* On this week’s preview show, Jordan and Tom get together to look ahead to Garry Monk’s first sermon at the Abbey on Saturday against the Cobblers from Northampton, hoping to repeat what they did to us at their place after we were on the back of a drubbing at London Road. They’re joined by Danny from the It’s All Cobblers To Me podcast to help preview the game.

* New manager pod! Not many times you get to say that, and not many seasons you need to say it twice. So for the second and hopefully last time, the UTAS boys assemble to talk through the new man in the United dugout: Garry Monk. Tom, Matt and Jordan chat through their thoughts on what Monk can bring to United and what he needs to do to get to that magic number to keep the U's up this season - as well as touching on that defeat at Bolton on Saturday.

* Another bumper preview show this week as Tom, Jules and Matt spend most of the hour trying to calm down from another piss poor performance from the U's on Tuesday night at Stevenage. Trigger warning, there's a lot of chat about Cruyff turns on the edge of your own box. As well as that, they look ahead to the small matter of Bolton away on Saturday with the help of The Fanzone podcast.

* The second instalment of our brand new feature is here, where we answer any and all questions that our listeners send in - about United teams past and present. This month, we discuss which players we'd go on holiday with, who are player of the season so far is, and what is the worst United team where each player has made a minimum of 50 appearances.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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).

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* 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. Thanks for joining us Neil!

* 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.

* This week's preview show looks ahead to Burton Albion at home as we welcome the Brewers to the Abbey. Jules and Matt discuss injuries, Lee McEvilly, and (for some reason) getting poked in the eye at Dartford away.

* We're delighted to be launching a brand new feature here at UTAS: The Monthly Mailbag. This is an opportunity for the panellists to answer questions not just about the current team, the game just been and the game coming up. But take a step back and look at the broader picture at the U's, answering both silly and serious listener questions. This week, Tom, Jules and Jordan discuss the Habbin redevelopment, best debuts, and their favourite and least favourite away days.

* The biggest challenge of the season yet for the UTAS boys as they are tasked with trying to get half an hour of content out of a 0-0 draw down in Exeter. Jord, Tom and Jules discuss a good point on a bitesize pod, what more do you want on a Monday morning? Get in touch with the pod: @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com http://www.undertheabbeystand.com
* The game might be up in the balance, but that can't stop the preview show. Matt and Jordan are on this week's show chatting about a trip down to Devon where the U's never seem to win, after a week of freezing cold temperatures... what could possibly go wrong? Get in touch with the pod: @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com http://www.undertheabbeystand.com
* Jordan Worland is at the helm this week and is joined by Tom Walker and Jack Swindlehurst to look back at a last-gasp win against Fleetwood Town, including plenty of optimistic forwards chat, a great debut and a bit of a sitter... Get in touch with the pod: @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com http://www.undertheabbeystand.com/
* For the third time this season, the U's face Fleetwood this weekend, with a third man in the dugout. Tom and Jordan have a chat about what might well be a six pointer, and obviously address the elephant in the room: the lack of a striker so far this transfer window. They also welcome friend of the pod Knappers to get a preview of this weekend's opponents. Get in touch with the pod: @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com http://www.undertheabbeystand.com
* A valiant effort from the U's, but the quality told in the end as Blackburn ran out 5-2 winners at Ewood Park in the FA Cup Third Round. On this episode of UTAS, Tom and Matt get together have a chat about how many goals they missed and run through all the talking points from the game. Get in touch with the pod: @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com http://www.undertheabbeystand.com
* FA Cup fever hasn't quite caught on this weekend as an injury-depleted U's without a recognised striker get ready to head to the North West to face a seemingly equally unenthusiastic Blackburn side. Maybe we're in for a classic. Tom and Jules take a look ahead to that game, with the help of Dan from Rovers Chat, as well as looking back at the floodlight failure at Stevenage, and the hangovers in the defeat against Leyton Orient. Get in touch with the pod: @AbbeyStandPod abbeystandpod@gmail.com www.undertheabbeystand.com http://www.undertheabbeystand.com
* Jordan Worland is joined by Jack Swindlehurst and Matt Caspell to look back at a home victory against Exeter City and a last-minute away loss to Oxford United. The lads also look ahead to a tricky trip to Stevenage and at the New Year's Day M11 Derby at the Abbey against Leyton Orient, featuring 2 fan previews!

* You asked, we listened. Okay maybe no one asked, but the UTAS Christmas Quiz is back for 23/24! Master of ceremonies and king of the quiz Lewis Jones puts the boys through their paces as they get quizzed on everything from Japanese football and pickled onions to Port Vale and Wham. Thanks for your support this year, here's to another year of semi-serious Cambridge United based football content. Merry Christmas!
