Three days and counting

It's good times indeed when United start to seep into the conciousness of the Cambridge public at large.

The other week I was leaving the Junction after a (rather good) Fratelli's gig, only to hear some of my fellow concert goers serenading the masses with a chorus of We're going up with Jimmy and Willy (more of which later). Then last weekend, while sitting on Jesus Green, who should pass by but a yacht load of slighty inebriated blokes doing what is probably the first ever boat-based Bounce Bounce.

According to the messageboard, there have also been sightings of pikeys selling knock off Wembley merchandise in the town centre this week, although I for one still have my foam hand from Cardiff, so am sure to fit in amongst our 16,000 new 'fans'.

Anyway, yeah, I hope by now you've heard our play off final song. If not, I'd strongly urge you to download it here. While it may lack the lavish production of the Moosetroop's seminal hit Amber and Black, or it's very underated successor, Marvin the Moose, it's still a good effort from all involved, which I'm sure will become an, er, worldwide hit should we triumph on Sunday.

On the pitch, I was relieved to see Rushden and Diamonds have beaten us to the signature of renowned flat track bully Daryl Clare. While I'm sure he will continue to bang the goals in against the likes of Altrincham and Weymouth, the former Burton man isn't getting any younger, and his record in league football is so mediocre that he hardly stands out as a good long-term purchase. Whether we end up getting promoted or not, our success this season has been built on having a squad of hungry players, not just those who are looking for a move closer to home and a big fat pay packet.
