Different Gravy - Not just another Sheffield Wednesday podcast
State Of Owls Nation
Season 5, Ep. 1
•
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

Season ahead

01:10:01||Season 6, Ep. 2We 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.com1.

01:27:28||Season 6, Ep. 1The 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!

01:43:23||Season 5, Ep. 7And 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_pod6.

01:33:05||Season 5, Ep. 6We 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_pod5. I've run the numbers, and they don't like it up 'em
01:29:58||Season 5, Ep. 5Just 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_pod4. Just Ham, White Bread, No Mustard
01:02:51||Season 5, Ep. 4Happy 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_pod3. Fruity Squares
01:22:08||Season 5, Ep. 3For 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_pod2. The Different Gravy Double Down
01:45:57||Season 5, Ep. 2A 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?
