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.

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'.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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?

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!

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!

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.

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.

Happy 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.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
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.

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!

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
Season ahead

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.
WAWAW, UTO, and thanks for listening!
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

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.
