The first game of the post-Harry Darling era sees United keep their first clean sheet since October 27. With Darling gone, Robbie Cundy was recalled to the starting XI, and Wes Hoolahan and Luke Hannant flanked the midfield duo of The Digger and Adam May. Upfront, it was a return for Joe Ironside and the... Continue Reading →
Southend 1-2 U’s: Essex Goals
Okay, so it wasn't the comprehensive thrashing we predicted when we were first meant to play this game. But despite the dodgy postponement, despite the weather and despite United conceding yet another soft goal we've picked up all three points to sit proudly at the top of the table.

Grimsby 1-2 U’s: Sunlit Uplands

As the UK limped out of the EU on January 1st with a shit "deal", no money for the NHS and looming food shortages it was down to United to add to... Continue Reading →
