Different Gravy - Not just another Sheffield Wednesday podcast

And we are back again in this taint between Christmas and New Year! Join Luke and Rich as they are bloated confused masses of chocolate and cheese trying to get their heads around this season so far for Wednesday with their usual half-season player reviews. Who do we wish would reawaken as the opponent goal-shagging behemoth of yesteryear? Which other player "has scored goals relative to his peers"? And who is reinventing the language of the WWE with a Reverse Heel Turn? Well, listen ahead to find out all this and more!A Happy Festive Period to all of our listeners, thank you for still listening to our ageing irrelevant brains try to analyse SWFC. Lots of love and expect the next episode out in 2025!P.S.Forgive some weird noises at the beginning, it manages to sort itself out after the first twenty seconds. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We plot our path to becoming the anti-Millwall in the second part of our season preview. There's a tense and fun game of attempting to read Barry Bannan's mind and pre-empt his favourite Wednesday XI. We then get on to the upcoming season - where do we see Wednesday finishing? Who will the player of the season be and who will take home the Wednesday specific golden boot as top scorer?What do you think? let us know on @gravypod or differentgravypod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

The Gravy Boys are back for Season 6 (Blimey)! In this debut episode for 2024/25 season, Rich briefly covers the Liam Palmer testimonial and poises Luke with some questions about which Wednesday member of 5ive is the dishiest. Once we have got the usual Diffierent Gravy slathering of homoeroticism out of the way, then the Boys cover the re-signings, exits, and new signings. A weird smorgasbord of signings to cover, but the Boys manage to get through.We have you have all had a good Paxo Summer/Rohly Summer/Brat Summer/Donna Summer and are looking forward to this season to get started!

And here is part deux of the Season Re-Phew! We conclude our player reviews by reviewing Mr. Trumpybum (Josh Windass) to finishing on Marvelous Marvin Johnson. Then we get onto Herr Röhl, the chief man of resurging both Wednesday and Boney M. Then the detritus at the end covers a quick re-phew of our foolish end of season predictions and think about which of the swathes of out of contract players are to be kept in our humble opinions. Expect references to the Josh Windass Experience, your new least favourite shops-own Frosties knock off, and some CanCon (that's Canadian content, folks).Thanks for listening and we will see you soon to chat about more Wednesday in the Championship next season!WAWAW.differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

We missed the gag about this in the show, but here is our full re-phew (geddit) of Sheffield Wednesday's 2023/24 season complete with the usual schoolboy rating scheme and potentially too much time thinking about these set of players! In this first of the two part extravaganza, the Gravy Boys snake their way through the squad list getting a full score of Owls starting at Master Dawson and resting on Wee Barry Bannan. Expect a litany of middle names (real and fictional) as though we are very disappointed in their actions and some stars as the players vye for Luke Gleadall's "Reyt Player of the Season" award.WAWAW.differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the (podcast) water, here's an unexpected delivery from Different Gravy. A run-in check-in and a real chance to catch up on all that's happened since Danny Röhl's appointment. We look back at the transfer window dealings, recent form, take a look at the wunderbar wunderkind himself, before making some sloppy predictions for the matches between here and the end of the season.differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

Happy New Year folks!Here's part two of our Mid-Season Review - we cover the juicy last 10 players and run the rule of Rohl and his predecessor.PS There's even more silly after the theme at the end.differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

For Sheffield Wednesday this season (2023/24) has been one of contrast, the abysmal first 10 matches or so under grumpy, charlatan Xisco Munoz and the markedly better run since under German coaching whizz Danny Rohl. The players have had similar swings, some asked to do unfamiliar or uncomfortable jobs under Xisco then recast or recalled under Rohl's regime. To pick it all apart and gain some perspective please join us for part one of or Mid-Season Review, in which we run the rule over just over the half the players who have contributed this season and assign them school style grades (which schools don't use anymore).Part way through the episode we hit on a Meal Deal based grading system too, if that sounds like your sort of thing then please join us!PS Hang around at the end for something silly.differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

A timely canning of Xisco and our shiny new manager has brought the Gravy Boys out of their slumber. The title refers to the, subjective opinion here, awful KFC sandwich, or as Rich pus it a "nice sandwich in pooey bread". "Pooey bread" slice one gets into how embarrassed we were to even feel remotely optimistic about Xisco Munoz's reign and the false dawn of last time we broke Wednesday bread. And as a result the second end slice of poop loaf gets into the disappointing set of players who have helped give Wednesday the worst start to their football league campaign ever.But don't worry, there is some goodness in the meat and we can recall how to get giddy and overexcited as we welcome the striking and enigmatic Deutsche video analyst upstart, Danny Röhl, to the Wednesday manager position. Do Luke and Rich get into a series of dire stereotypical German impressions? Ja. Do we get carried away fantasizing about Röhl getting the club out on the Autobahn and whipping her into fifth?

Goodbye the 2022/2023 season - "you were a real one!"Hello the 2023/2024 season - "what's that smell? could you check your shoes please, I don't want that tramped all through the house, I'm not accusing you but it didn't smell like that before you arrived." etcDue to our questionable judgement we decided to sit down on the transfer window equivalent of Boxing Day and exhaustively talk through all the major events of a very busy summer. We love a gimmick so the idea was to rate everything on a 'Whelomoter' 5 point scale of Totally Underwhelmed (1) - Partly/Slightly Under Whelmed (2) - Whelmed (3) - Slightly/Partly Over Whelmed (4) - Completely Overwhelmed (5)Here's the list if you want to play along at home:Sacking of MooreReece James SigningManager search and Xisco appointmentXisco press conferenceFriendliesJuan Delgado signsAshley Fletcher signsPol Valentin signsDi'Shon Barnard signsBambo Diaby signsAnthony Musaba signsSouthampton GameDevis Vasquez signsStockport GameLamine Diaby signsHull GameDjeii Gassama signsPreston GameCardiff GameUSA Takeover/FakeoverMansfield GameJeff Hendricks signsJohn Buckley signsLeeds GameSeason aheadWAWAW, UTO, and thanks for listening!differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

Part two of our Player Reviews effectively puts the amazing 2022/23 season to bed with a *spoiler alert* tear strewn finale. An exhausting, thrilling, terrible and wonderful season - typical Wednesday, as they say. Listen past the outro song for a little bonus treat. We also run our (latent) fashionista eyes over the new kit and sponsor.WAWAW, UTO, and thanks for listening!differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_podThanks to Mike Dee for this great effort -Kick it!You wake up late for training, Cam you don't want to goYou ask Moore to please? but he still says, noYou missed two crosses, and no footworkYou parry shots on target like some kind of jerkIt's not right, you're so shite, at your ageStockdale caught you eating, pies, man he says, "No way"Stocky hypocrite eats four pies a dayMan, sitting on the bench is such a dragBut you're banking crazy wages, so keep up the blag, bustedIt's not right, you're so shite, at your ageIt's not rightDon't step out on that pitch if that's the best you gonna playI'd kick you out of S6 if I had my wayChansiri busted in and said, what's that noise?Dejphon you're just jealous it's the Different Gravy Boys Hosted on Acast.

We've all been waiting since December to find out is Alex Mighten improve on his mid-season B-? Well the wait is finally over because we are proud to present our exhaustive end of season player reviews.

Hey You Guys! We are back with the final B.O.O.B.S. session for this 2022/23 season as we review the League One Play Off Final against Barnsley. Join us to hopefully find an undercurrent of success and joy running beneath reviewing a mildly dour big game that nevertheless ends in beautiful breathtaking triumph. This episode has got it all... perm helmets, corrupt American senators, RDA of humour, Rich's niche RawArse rating, Asterix the Gaul, Luke doesn't know how to pronounce marathon etc.Next week we will be back to recap and get our judgey-wudgey on the full player ratings!WAWAW, UTO, and thanks for listening!differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

And with what we felt would be the last episode of the B.O.O.B.S. Sessions (“The Last Crusty Cop A Feel?”), the mighty Sheffield Wednesday pull off the greatest comeback in playoff football history. Join us for an episode so lengthy that we almost considered doing a live watch back. In it we once again go back to our in-depth analysis to capture all of the delight and elation of the Masterclass put on by Darren Moore’s Sheffield Wednesday. Expect talk of Mechs, Steve Bruce reparations, and more adventures of Detective Paterson.differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

The Different Gravy: The B.O.O.B.S (Back On Our Bull S***) Sessions continue, sadly. This was a rough one, as rough as they come. We try and remember how we used to do these match reviews and just about hold back the tears as we discuss the Play Off Semi Final leg one. There's some room thankfully for the odd fun digression Callum Paterson as hard bitten noir detective, Michael Smith exposed as the Greggs loving fiend that he is, the usual talk about willies.
