Different Gravy - Not just another Sheffield Wednesday podcast

Dr Luke Gleadall and Richard Millarwww.differentgravypod.co.uk
An occasional podcast from two obsessive Sheffield Wednesday fans, we felt the world needed another couple of cisgender white guys sharing their opinion - so you are welcome. We’ll discuss news and performances and meander into other bits and bobs that we find interesting. There will be themed episodes and hopefully we’ll all have fun and find that the real podcast, was the podcast, that we podcasted along the way.

So you’re saying there’s a chance to mess things up?

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. 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 ...

Yes sir, we can football

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. Luke and Rich lift their tired voices and certainly get lyrical (along with waxing lyrical) to toast Wednesday having a great day in the S6 Sunshine in front of a bumper crowd. We get into saluting Georgie Byers, the complexion of Alan Irvine, and the faile...

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows. We continue to wrestle with the strange reality that Sheffield Wednesday are really good at corners as the slim prospect of automatic promotion is snuffed out. All eyes on the Play Off prize then, but not before some standard useless refereeing, strange sub...

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. We are last in the telling of Sky Sports’ half-hearted third tier narrative and the assembly of retired semi-notable chavas have come to cast their eyes on their beloved MK Donkeys. Little did they know that those pesky Wednesday boys would piss all over th...

There Will Be A Time For Thongs

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. Sheffield Wednesday Football Club sit comfortably in 5th place in SkyBet English Football League One - with a game in hand on some divisional rivals and a competitive goal difference - so why are we suffused with a deep unease? The facts all look good but i...

Sh*t-eating Wombles

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. Listeners with misophonia be warned the culmination of match review is essentially the sound of the Gravy Boys lapping up a bowl of lukewarm Womble tears. A fascinating game to talk through, a great cathartic finish and finally somebody talking about that t...

Saido’s Blue Steel

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 truly remarkable game to review - The Joy of Six, Six on the Beach, We scored six etc. We drink it all in, add a soupçon of transfer talk to top things off.

Bringing some levity to life as a Wednesdayite, enjoying the highs and only occasionally wallowing in the lows. Wednesday busting into the top 6, another great win and another clean sheet - cue an overlong episode of giddy, giggly Different Gravy right? Maybe not. Our shortest episode in a while picking through performance so competent and controlled it was almost so...

Master Splinter on Praise or Grumble

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. Luke and Rich (AKA Jack Bauer of the pod, Psychic Physio etc.) really enjoy themselves in this episode. Maybe the lethal comeback against Donny Rovers in a 3-1 win allows the Boys to be in a jovial mood to cover a Captain Planet reboot and Roald Dahl commen...

Ed Sheeran Loves Nando’s and Possession

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. However you add it up (much like the dumb sponsorship maths symbols on the Ipswich shirts), Ed Sheeran loves himself some insipid Nando's and some even more droll possession football from his beloved Tractor Boys. We do too as it allows the missed chances t...

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.

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!

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 g...

Splitting the Patom

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. 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.
