Different Gravy - Not just another Sheffield Wednesday podcast

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. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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'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. Spread across a generous two episodes and continuing our Countdown inspired 'one from the top, one from the bottom' squad order, we talk about the first 14 players here and the remaining squad members and the all important big boss man Darren Moore at the end of next week's episode.WAWAW, UTO, and thanks for listening!differentgravypod@gmail.comhttps://twitter.com/gravy_pod Hosted on Acast.

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.

Welcome to "Different Gravy: The B.O.O.B.S (Back On Our Bull S***) Sessions"! The first episode back after the boys gave a murky halftime season review for the 22/23 season sees Luke and Rich give a slightly more optimistic, or less urine soaked chips, viewpoint on the end of the regular season. Recorded with Rich finding the least sweaty place he could park following a rare victory over Derby (expect sound effects of police, ambulances, and birds (Song of the South Stand, anyone?)), we get into a brief coverage of the game, a check into the lads' whelm-o-meters, and look ahead to the playoffs. Expect talk of Paul Warne almost making a Ralph Wiggum heartbreak face, the wonders of a Mr. Physio Magic Sponge, and Darren Ferguson's early work. The Gravy Boys will also be back to review the glory/misery of the forthcoming Playoffs, so keep it locked! WAWAW! differentgravypod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Join us in embarking on 2023 with our final look at the squad at the halfway point of the 2022/23 season. In Part Deux, we begin with Dennis Adeniran and then finish off with Akin Famewo before ending up debating Mr. Moore's pros and cons. If that sounds underwhelming, then don't worry, there is plenty of meat to get into. On the way we get into Cockney Corporals, prodigal wunderkids supping Hooch by the bike sheds, and Luke nearly makes himself cry from depressing himself.Happy New Year!WAWAWwww.differentgravypod.co.ukdifferentgravypod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

Luke and Rich are back... with disappointing results! Listen as we review the SWFC squad for the first half of the 22/23 season just before mid-season eve (playing Fleetwood). In this first of two new episodes, we take a snake-like approach winding their way through the squad numbers starting at one "Mr. Wednesday" Liam Palmer to another "kinda Mr. Wednesday" in Cammy Dawson. Listen and find out why Alan Michael Sugar Trading has nothing to worry about from Rich, Moore is tyre-kicking donkeys at Blackpool, and whose aging Rolls Royce bod do we want to get out of the garage.It's a pleasure to come back for these special episodes and we want to wish a Merry Christmas/Lovely Festive Period to all Wednesdayites everywhere!WAWAWwww.differentgravypod.co.ukdifferentgravypod@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

A weekly look at all things Sheffield Wednesday - news, views, boardroom politics and the all important performances on the pitch. Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.   The 150th episode (and last) of Different Gravy has a special treat with the Boys decreeing their Favourite and Worst XIs from their Wednesday-watching careers in one of the chunkiest episodes yet. We also cover best and worst manager, break hoo-hoos for the last time, and thank the many sweet people who have sent sweet and lovely messages in. And yet there is still more that happens! Further episode notes: Also thanks to Samuel Gleadall for the intro suggestion and enjoy the alternative theme tune done by DJ Millstar.   Forgive the emotions and blubbering in this episode as we for the last time give our love letter to Sheffield Wednesday.

Join us (or not, we get it) for a rundown of the tragic denouement to Wednesday's 21/22 season in the review of the home "draw that was a defeat" against Sunderland.

In this week's episode we ponder the space between a rock and a hard place, between two stools etc as we sit in the taint between two legs of Play Off football. Luke is disappointed and pessimistic for the home leg, Rich is more upbeat and positive (though maybe just for Covid) - somehow Wednesday will prove the both wrong.   WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.   In "Loose Gids Sinks Ships", Wednesday's arch-nemesis, Andy "Snitch" Giddings, almost gets away with it if it wasn't for those pesky Wednesday kids. Luckily despite our weaknesses and Football Heaven's worst commentator being a tattle-tale, we enjoy three goals, three points, and some of the best attacking play we have seen this season. We also get into the mystery defender transfer conjecture and try to get through the anonymous terrible awful of the midweek cup exit to Plymouth.   WAWAW   Stay Safe   www.differentgravypod.co.uk

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows. Don't worry about anything new or daring, as Darren Moore has the same stuff for us Wednesdayites in the 1-1 draw against Gillingham. It's all much like a new and unoriginal episode of How I Met Your Mother that will give you the Mandela effect. In this episode we talk injuries, the bizarre and entertaining Harrogate spin-off game, and then get into the main course. Oh, and Rich compares Luke to Steve Evans from the off.    WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows. Praise for a makeshift CB? Joy of an entertaining 0-0? Luke and Rich are maybe exhibiting the positive side effects of Moore-itis and we are a little confused by what we enjoy here in the goalless draw against Plymouth in the FA Cup. We get into covering this weirdly pleasing First Round game and Wednesday whupping Sunderland 3-0 midweek. Expect bad pitches of opponent fan forums, the best "Hippo in Show", and hapless tool Lee Dixon cracking the Wee Baz corner conundrum.   WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk

The Twilight Zone is an American anthology TV series that has run in one form or another since 1959 - episodes draw on different genres including fantasy, science fiction, absurdism, dystopian fiction, suspense, horror, supernatural drama, black comedy, and psychological thriller, often concluding with a macabre or unexpected twist, and usually with a moral. The Twi-shite Zone is the current season for Sheffield Wednesday and maybe the season before and whilst each individual match maybe a different genre the final results is always the same a ruined weekend for thousands of Wednesdayites. This latest spoooooky tale leaves us with the questions is this a point gained or two points lost? And who the heck is Jonny-Rocks? WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk

Another relatively short episode in the books for Different Gravy, but then there's two dour servings of dreck to cover this episode so we clip along at a real pace to not ruin any more of our weekend. Rich and Luke focus mainly on the bore score draw hosting those Imps at Hillsborough and then try to recover memories of the midweek tosh at Cambridge in "Breaking HooHoos". Featuring Bannanfish, the boys being glib pun-heavy journos, and the anti-King and Worthington. WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk

Are people Wednesday fans because they are miserable or miserable because they are Wednesday fans? One of life's biggest questions. We make a surprisingly serious attempt to answer it before and during a wade through the latest missive from the Darren Moore Extended Cinematic Universe. This weeks effort a haphazard M. Night Shyamalan joint where he pulls a big twist but unfortunately its one we've all seen before. We make some enjoyable detours but unfortunately in the end can't escape the fact that this was a sickener of a final result. WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk
