United We Stand Podcast

Andy Mitten started the United We Stand fanzine back in 1989, and it has been a fixture of Manchester United supporter culture ever since. The podcast extension carries that same spirit: fiercely independent, occasionally irreverent, and always rooted in the matchday experience. What makes this show different is where it gets recorded. Mitten regularly captures audio from Old Trafford and away grounds, so you hear the actual atmosphere — the singing, the tension, the collective groan when a shot goes wide. It feels like being there. With over 500 episodes released semi-weekly, the show mixes pre-match atmosphere, post-match analysis, and interviews with supporters, journalists, and former players. Mitten has been called arguably the most honest Manchester United pundit, and that reputation comes through clearly. He does not perform outrage for clicks or pretend everything is fine when it is not. The production is raw compared to slicker studio shows, but that is part of the charm. It is a fanzine in audio form, and fanzines have never been about studio polish. Rated 4.6 from 77 reviews, the explicit content tag reflects the honest language you would hear on the terraces. If you want your United coverage filtered through decades of genuine supporter experience rather than media talking points, Mitten delivers that consistently.
