OWLSTALK: The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast

Barnsley review, Millwall preview, Stupid Steering Groups, Losing George Hirst, Mick Jagger and more...

Season 3, Ep. 4

Mick Jagger and Dot Cotton return to the Owlstalk Podcast studio alongside Neil and James.


This week: We review the 1-1 draw against Barnsley and take a look at upcoming games. Is it almost time for Carlos Out? We also review the shambolic Steering Group meeting with chairman Dejphon Chansiri and where the club is going wrong off the pitch (again).


What is the club's identity and are we losing it? Plus, plots, lots more. Including bad impressions. You have been warned.


About Owlstalk The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast:


Every day thousands of Sheffield Wednesday fans come together to discuss all things about the Owls, and then more random subjects.

As the biggest, busiest and best SWFC forum with many different diverse viewpoints there is always plenty to talk about, and that is what we try to do in the Owlstalk: The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast!


Sometimes we have to put the football to one side and talk about the people that make our club and community what it is: the fans.

    In a small miracle, Neil and James regroup for a second podcast episode in a week! You lucky people.This week we reflect on the match at Derby County, Glenn Loovens' sending off, Keiron Westwood's plea to fans, infighting at the club and more.The kit is out! Viv Anderson is a girls name, Carlton Palmer has a book out, people are calling for Carlos Out. You can win a copy of Carlton's book.PLUS: There's a bizarre segway into film reviews or something. Neil keeps showing James a photo of a bumhole. This might be the most surreal of all podcasts because Neil can't keep attention on one thing for more than 10 seconds.*STRONG LANGUAGE WARNING*About Owlstalk The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast:Every day thousands of Sheffield Wednesday fans come together to discuss all things about the Owls, and then more random subjects.As the biggest, busiest and best SWFC forum with many different diverse viewpoints there is always plenty to talk about, and that is what we try to do in the Owlstalk: The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast!Sometimes we have to put the football to one side and talk about the people that make our club and community what it is: the fans.Feel free to get involved and post your feedback, thoughts and contributions on the forums at owlstalk.co.uk!Follow Owlstalk online at:Twitter | Facebook | YouTube | iTunes | Acast | OWLSTALK Forums!

    01:16:31
    Strap in for a rollercoaster ride with Owlstalk: The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast, featuring Neil and James (plus an amazing Arctic Monkeys tribute from Steve).This episode: we get drunk and be silly, talk about American podcasters, Polish hooligans and barn dancing. Neil and James take a look back at recent form and the Carlos Outers plus review and rant about the lack of 150th anniversary and pretty much the worst the club has ever been off the pitch. Is Joe Palmer to blame?Where is the kit? Who watches the watches? Who proofed the Dream Scene? Where is our anniversary friendly?

  • 1. On strike with Fernando Forestieri (sponsored by The Sausage Cottage)

    46:18
    The podcast world has lost a shining light with an Owlstalk Sheffield Wednesday Podcast presenter going on strike. Any similarities to the Fernando Forestieri situation are purely coincidental. On a triumphant return to podcast-land, we discuss stuff that has happened since the last episode, many moons ago. We don't remember much of the Play-off final against Hull City at Wembley. Neil got drunk and ended up on the telly somehow. Catering has been brought back in-house at Hillsborough. This is good news! The state of the club shop 'megastore' is bad news though. We hark back to the halcyon days of Crossbar Fudge and Danny Wilson toby Jugs. We look at the new kits, including the unseeable black away kit, the Leeds United style third kit and the good-and-yet-bad Ipswich Town style home kit. All the while, we're awaiting the Oven Man to come with his hammer and chisel and fix Neils' oven (we're still recording in the kitchen, FFS).About Owlstalk The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast:Every day thousands of Sheffield Wednesday fans come together to discuss all things about the Owls, and then more random subjects.As the biggest, busiest and best SWFC forum with many different diverse viewpoints there is always plenty to talk about, and that is what we try to do in the Owlstalk: The Sheffield Wednesday Fans Podcast!Sometimes we have to put the football to one side and talk about the people that make our club and community what it is: the fans.Feel free to get involved and post your feedback, thoughts and contributions on the forums at owlstalk.co.uk!Follow Owlstalk online at:Twitter |Facebook |YouTube |iTunes |Acast |OWLSTALK Forums!
