Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows. No match due to our new friend Omicron running wild amongst the Wednesday team and coaching staff. Whilst we wish them all safe recoveries it does present a opportunity to take stock at, almost, the exact half way point in the campaign. So this week takes the shape of a Mid-Term Report - which player is in line for School Prefect? Which one is in line for doing lines until their hand cramps up?

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows. Another two game week and thankfully Wednesday's good form keeps on rolling! Darren Moore, having swerved the Manager Of The Month accolade, and associated curse, with a nimbleness belying his hefty frame, continues to experiment with whacky defensive combinations but we also have cause to celebrate two clean sheets for our on-loan stopper BPF.Also Luke is in the airport making this a stand out episode for people who like found sounds and Anglo-Franco boarding announcements.

S3 Ep 20Crazy Frog‘s ”I‘ve Got a Song That‘ll Get on Your Nerves”
EA 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. No footy this weekend, so Luke and Rich look over the mind-numbing dreckery of the Pizza Cup loss to Hartlepool midweek. We aim to try to have some fun after covering the horrendously awful second-string action by again reviewing horrendously awful second-string pizza action from Papa John's again. We also chat contentious season ticket pricing, youngster transfer rumour time, and the endearing mystery that is Callum Thomas Owen Paterson.

EA 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. What is proper thick cut, antiquated, and has a cult following? Luke and Rich make a few comparisons with the arrival of Wycombe Wanderers to Hillsborough. In reviewing the 2-2 draw, we get into this decent performance against promotion hopefuls and recap the other decent performance against promotion hopefuls midweek. Also news as we cover not signing another defender and welcome Mendez-Laing instead. WAWAW Stay Safe www.differentgravypod.co.uk [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 18Loose Gids Sinks Ships
EA 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. 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.

S3 Ep 17Splitting the Patom
EA 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.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.

S3 Ep 16Diet Chris O‘Grady/Lewis Wing Can’t Read Sanskrit
EA 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.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. WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 15Twi-shite Zone
EA 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 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?WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 14Cruyff Turns at SeaWorld
EA 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.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.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

EA 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.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.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 12Pinball Wizardry
EA 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.A lesser spotted win! And it was unconvincing! Not the greatest advert for the third tier in a rare non-cancelled game on an International Break, but we steal the "loaned points" at home against Bolton. Also we briefly cover the pizza cup game midweek as part of a slow news week. Expect Luke and Rich to talk about that man from Oldham (not Paul Scholes), pissing off a potential entire cache of supporters, and getting a numb rear-end through sitting through a post-credits scene of the DMCU (Darren Moore Cinematic Universe).WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 11The Salt Bae of Bad Refereeing
EA 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.A mixed bag with two unexpected results but a similar points tally. We enjoy the re-emergence of the man they/we call Patto despite a familiar tale of defensive frailty. There's inevitable frustration and pondering how long Big Daz can keep churning out underwhelming performances backed up by baffling subs.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 10Déjà Poo
EA 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.That old and nagging feeling of experiencing something we have experienced before. And a poor joke about how bad Wednesday are that we think we have made before, but it has that feel, you know? In Wednesday's sickening 1-1 draw with the Tractor Boys, we get into a few things we have seen before: BPF's repeating clangers, the nature of his clanger this week resembling something from an old Own Goals VHS, and whether we could be seeing something bigger repeat in the future.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 9Adrenaline Dump
EA 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.Disappointment yet again and another game against third-tier cloggers that we should have won as Wednesday draw 1-1 with Shrewsbury at Hillsborough. Much like a pointless "live" news broadcast, Rich is at the scene at Middlewood Road while Luke feels the party has been pooped on his birthday weekend. We talk about as much of it as we can bear including references to the failed rebranding of Dennis the Menace's outfit, the all-knowing all-seeing stats on Baz's penalty kicks, and Liam Palmer frothing at the mouth with goal rabies.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 8This Is Not The League Debut You Were Looking For...
EA 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.Another weekend game and another disappointing match, and loss, for Rich and Luke to mull over. Ryan Lowe's Plymouth Argyle deliver new "Lowes" to Wednesday in a 3-0 drubbing and you wonder if the optimism tank is running on fumes for the nigh-300 mile trip there. The boys get into all of it including another Corbeannu show that is NSFW (Not Suitable For Winning), BPF becoming a pizza chef, and wee Baz looking like a bonny boy in his pink outfit.

S3 Ep 7Gravy Boys - Papa Chan‘s Trophy
EA 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.Papa John's Pizza... this week we dissect the whole beast - trophy to (tater) tots! In the absence of a weekend fixture we spend a bit more time than usual on the midweek fixture, which saw Wednesday up against a bunch of disaffected Geordie youths. Once the strangely satisfying match is done with we sit down to a cross-continental feast courtesy of Papa John's other offering, pizza. Which one is best - the competition or the culinary offerings?

S3 Ep 6Mild Shrimping
EA 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.Unfortunately no "Big Shrimpin'" ala Jay-z feat. UGK for SWFC as we are on the end of a "Mild Shrimping" which is some seafood-related condition found from eating a slightly off prawn cocktail. Not only is Wednesday's trip to the seaside pissed upon in their 1-0 defeat, but Rich is ill and Luke is doubly irked by Andy Giddings' jazz-like ramblings. A difficult game to watch, but we hope is a better listen as we cover Dom Howson as Highlander, League One's wealth of weird European keepers, and Jimmy Bullard's crap nickname. Also some news in the Mendez-Laing link, Sunderland postponed, we eventually remember Big Dom's contract extension. WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

S3 Ep 5The Illuminati Control Our Lives, But Most of the Time it's OK
EA 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.Scarlett Johansson gets several mentions in today's episode and why not? Some Eastern European accents in honour of her new film Black Widow, some question over a possible STI and the fact her cousin (or some other relative) gave us a lovely goal this weekend. There's some groping talk (unrelated to ScarJo), flag waggling to Kings Of Leon and the strange delight of hearing not one, but two Dom Howson's reminiscing about Ally McBeal. We even talk a little bit about the two big wins this week. A fun one - enjoy!

EA 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."We did good work today". A phrase said of Wednesday's 2-0 win over Doncaster Rovers, but it also could be said by a therapist to their client. This could also be said to Barry Bannan who made a big breakthrough with bagging Wednesday's first goal of the season and facing his childhood fears. We psychoanalyze the first win of the 2021/22 season and look over the all-star cast on display in a pleasing performance. Also we look over the news and cover Sylla Sow's arrival and the youngsters going out on loan. WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.Another bumper batch of signings to talk through and the first (proper) game of the season to get our teeth stuck into. We find the ways in which Darren Moore wants to be like Olivia Netwon-John just in time for rugged old League One. We scour every event of an uneventful start to the season and thoroughly enjoy the fact we managed to rain on Alan Curbishley's parade. WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.Prediction time for how Sheffield Wednesday and the other teams will fare in the 2021/22 League One season. Listen in as Luke and Rich feign interest and knowledge in a bunch of third-tier teams that will probably shove it up Wednesday's pooper given the chance. We try to be respectful to a number of teams, but in true Different Gravy fashion we aren't too serious in the process. Also we cover a bumper week of news with three signings, one exit, and more!

Having spent the summer with our fingers in our ears saying "nananananananana I can't hear you" we finally turn our attention back to the desolate wasteland of present day Wednesday. Between us we have seen one and half friendlies so we are ideally placed to run the rule over trialists and new recruits. We talk about the new kits and even spend some time on Hutch's mid-life cry for help in haircut form. WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.The first of our Summer episodes is out now, the plan is to come up with something different every couple of weeks. This time we stretch our legs and take a walk down memory lane by watching and discussing the 2011 documentary Four Year Plan - which sees QPR on the hunt for promotion under new ownership. New badge, high ticket prices, disdain for fans and the chairman meddling in first team affairs - sound familiar?

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.And so it ends - safe for all of 15 seconds but ultimately this long gruelling season finishes in failure, with Wednesday at the foot of the table. Where did it all go wrong? Where do we go from here? Why did he pick Dunkley? All this and more on this weeks "Relegation Special" Different Gravy.By the way Luke makes a joke that is rather close to the knuckle and can be heard asking me to edit it out, but I (Rich) am editing this week and it made me laugh at the time and when I heard it back, so it has stayed in - apologies for any offense caused...maybe.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Annoyingly for Luke, the inevitable is postponed for another week ruining his weekend sleeping routine again and meaning that anyone listening for the pleasure of broken hearts doesn't get to hear the moments our hearts implode. We cover the news of Wee Baz going down with the ship and pontificate on whether life in L1 would be all that bad before tucking into the main course of a weak draw with Forest.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.This episode, which could also be called "Mark Warburton Gets Wise", covers another dizzying new low in Sheffield Wednesday's season as they are decimated by one of the "Pride of London" football clubs, QPR. Spin Doctors, De La Soul, Johnny Cash and Blur all get mentions as Luke and Rich are jovial enough to have some laughs at a very amateur defensive showing. Also we get to talk briefly about our "missed takeover" as Alonso pops along to takeover Dorbeh and we wax lyrical about that game where we humbled Mick McCarthy's Cardiff.

EA 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.After a delightful holiday where we got to bask in the glory of a win and enjoy the international break sunshine on our backs this week we are brought thudding back to reality. A loss to flat-track bullies Watford that prompted the question 'How timid is too timid?' and 'Does the act of scoring for the opposition undo any good work you did in the rest of the match?'This month we're sponsored by Manscaped - Get 20% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code GRAVYBALLS at MANSCAPED.com!WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

"Once More With Some Degree of Conviction", perhaps?

Rich talks about doing the Running Man, Luke uncovers something else to make him cry, and we wonder who is Frasier Crumble.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.

EA 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. Another two games and another two defeats. Life is hard in general even before Wednesday manage to dump another wheelbarrow-load of disappointment on top of it. Luke and Rich first have a brief look at the predictable midweek loss against Brentford. Then we move onto the main course where a comfortable two-nil lead over Luton evaporates to nothing. There are some laughs, we promise!

In the businessy-self-help-productivity sphere 'eat the frog' is a phrase used to describe the act of getting unpleasant or unrewarding tasks out of the way to make room for the good stuff in the rest of your day/week/month. The beauty of the punishing Championship schedule is that a really efficient team like Wednesday can eat two frogs in a week - great for productivity but is anyone sparing a thought for the fans? or more importantly the podcasters? Won't somebody please think of the podcasters!? It's been one of those weeks sadly - but we succeed in finding a few laughs along the way, I promise.

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. Another impeccably short episode of Different Gravy thanks to "snerr" leaving the S6 pitch frozen. The double-pronged episode title captures our two talking points. The first being a bid from a consortium from Erik Alonso leaving the Boys nostalgic for characters from the past. The second concerns a first Different Gravy coverage of a midweek game as Luke and Rich talk about how Wednesday brushed aside the Chairboys in a 2-0 victory.

S2 Ep 25Thommo-mon: Gotta sub 'em all!
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. A shorter missive from the Gravy Boys this week, we must have lost the hour discussing all our shiny new Deadline Day signings somewhere. There is also a rumour that Luke has been meditating all week, dulling his match-sharp angst and shining light on his gallows humour. Every game feels so important at the moment and they are coming thick and fast - we walk through the highs of 3/4 of the halves of football played and wince through the final one where it all fell to pieces.

S2 Ep 24Cream-lapping Chops
EA 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. Just like most of Luke and Rich’s juice analogies: there’s a lot to squeeze in here! We feel very fortunate that looking back on a 100 car pile up of a disastrous week we have some real joy and the week has a happy ending. After the thorough nonsense of what is going on off the pitch we review the Preston win including Neil Thompson’s orange policy, Luke is tested on his Owls knowledge for a sausage and we pontificate on dirt on Alex Neil.

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows.A super late episode just like the late night Sunday FA Cup tie against Everton. Luke and Rich record the podcast for the first time in two parts to try to manage the general disappointment into manageable chunks. We review mild hints of news in a weird week and then look at a very predictable 3-0 loss to the Toffees.WAWAWStay Safewww.differentgravypod.co.uk Hosted on Acast.
