Different Gravy - Not just another Sheffield Wednesday podcast

Wooden Yoyo

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 18:32:37 GMT

The recent announcement of SWFC entering administration has awakened the Gravy Boys from their podcasting hibernation. Join Luke and Rich on a meander through emotions and thoughts surrounding the whole ordeal of supporting Wednesday so far this 25/26 season with stops through the reign of Chansiri and memories of Milan Manderic and his era. Here's hoping Wednesday get all quackers quacking in the future as she is, and we can all agree here, a real GILF.

Bag Fumbler Extraordinaire

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 17:53:00 GMT

We are back for a late season preview/natter about all of the nonsense at Sheffield Wednesday Football Club. We are so bereft that we even dream of bringing in AI to get the conversation started and then decide we don't need no stinking Skynet and kick off the training wheels for an all terrain journey of disappointment. Truly an episode full of a similar quality to the club's health at the moment. Thanks for listening and please accept Luke's little love letter at the end as an apology.

If Dean Windass Smells a Fart in a Box in the Woods...

Sat, 10 May 2025 11:00:00 GMT

The third and final part of this season's review. We name our player of the season - which lucky player will take home the auspicious gravy filled trophy of dreams? We talk Danny Rohl, a bit of Chansiri and take an ominous wander through 'the future'.

Who Brings The Nasty, and Who Brings The Pasty

Wed, 07 May 2025 16:00:00 GMT

Part 2 of our season review for 2024/25.

As we scroll into the last half of players, we get to some real DILFs and, knowing Wednesday's retirement home for players, probably some GILFs too! The elder statesmen are all up for judgement, for some it will be the last time. Expect some silly old men getting weepy and wistful at the end of this era!

You Touched the Hot Cakes and Now You're Going to Get Burned

Mon, 05 May 2025 11:00:00 GMT

We're back again with the first episode of our bumper three part review of the season!

Somehow we get all Bake Off on us all (or are Luke and Rich now the Soggy Bottom Boys?) in this first stint of player reviews. As time and this season weighs on us all, we take the approach of going through the players from young to old, so look forward to more homoeroticism from us two creepy old geezers. Enjoy!

We Gegens For It/The Numbers are Good…

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 17:00:27 GMT

Happy New Year, folks! What better way to kick off 2025 than to remind ourselves of what came before?! So Luke and Rich get into the remaining players and then finally cover Danny Rohl in part 2 of the 24/25 Player Reviews.

Apologies for the elaborate AI that Rich set in place to somehow picked all the good players in the first episode and all the lesser ones are mostly covered in this episode.

Happy New Year! Up the Owls!

Do the helicopter, get in the helicopter, and do the helicopter again

Sun, 29 Dec 2024 21:46:17 GMT

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.

Everyone Likes Us, We Don't Care

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 14:00:13 GMT

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

Massive Lad Energy/Toddler After Smarties Energy

Sun, 04 Aug 2024 23:01:36 GMT

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! WAWAW!

I'm drinking the Röhl-ade

Sat, 11 May 2024 17:00:00 GMT

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!

Vorsprung Durch Chuffnik

Mon, 06 May 2024 05:27:23 GMT

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.

I've run the numbers, and they don't like it up 'em

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 21:18:23 GMT

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.

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.

Fruity Squares

Sun, 31 Dec 2023 11:00:31 GMT

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.

The Different Gravy Double Down

Sat, 14 Oct 2023 20:50:37 GMT

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? Natürlich!

State Of Owls Nation

Sun, 03 Sep 2023 15:50:53 GMT

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." etc

Due 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 Moore

Reece James Signing

Manager search and Xisco appointment

Xisco press conference

Friendlies

Juan Delgado signs

Ashley Fletcher signs

Pol Valentin signs

Di'Shon Barnard signs

Bambo Diaby signs

Anthony Musaba signs

Southampton Game

Devis Vasquez signs

Stockport Game

Lamine Diaby signs

Hull Game

Djeii Gassama signs

Preston Game

Cardiff Game

USA Takeover/Fakeover

Mansfield Game

Jeff Hendricks signs

John Buckley signs

Leeds Game

Bucket Hats Have Had a Revival

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 14:00:00 GMT

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.

Thanks to Mike Dee for this great effort -

Kick it!

You wake up late for training, Cam you don't want to go

You ask Moore to please? but he still says, no

You missed two crosses, and no footwork

You parry shots on target like some kind of jerk

It's not right, you're so shite, at your age

Stockdale caught you eating, pies, man he says, "No way"

Stocky hypocrite eats four pies a day

Man, sitting on the bench is such a drag

But you're banking crazy wages, so keep up the blag, busted

It's not right, you're so shite, at your age

It's not right

Don't step out on that pitch if that's the best you gonna play

I'd kick you out of S6 if I had my way

Chansiri busted in and said, what's that noise?

Dejphon you're just jealous it's the Different Gravy Boys

An Elephantine Task

Sat, 10 Jun 2023 15:40:34 GMT

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.

Wee Man for the Big Occasion

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 03:17:53 GMT

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!

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.

A Lot More Smudgeface To Come

Sat, 13 May 2023 00:44:44 GMT

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. Join us, if you dare!

A Spoonful Weighs A Ton

Sun, 07 May 2023 21:47:42 GMT

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!

29 Minutes in Heaven

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 10:00:00 GMT

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!
