Singing The Blues : Sheffield Wednesday Podcast

Wednesday's good start to the Championship season continued with a well earned point against Watford at Hillsborough. Could we have nicked it? How good actually were Watford? Should Josh Windass have been given a penalty? Also we reflect on an EFL Cup exit for The Owls at Fulham, but a lot of positives to bring back from Craven Cottage. Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters... Tyto Law Solicito...

From the depths of doom to the podcast of positivity... There's a lot of good vibes going on this week as we look back at an unexpectedly good start to the season for Sheffield Wednesday. Two wins, strikers scoring left right and centre, but so much more to take heart from too. Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters...

It's here... the start of the 2020-21 Championship season. Wednesday are preparing to make the trip to Cardiff on Saturday and so we hear from a few fans on how they're feeling ahead of the game. We look back on Saturday's penalty shoot-out win at Walsall and a chat about potential selection options. Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters...

So, after the shortest pre-season in living memory, the season starts now for Wednesday, with a trip to Walsall in the EFL Cup. We're joined by Jamie Mitchell, co-founder of our sponsor Wednesday Bet, to look back at a goalless draw at Leicester in last Saturday's friendly, two new strikers arriving at S6, a preview of the cup game, plus the usual fun that is squad numbers being announced. Find ou...

There's barely a week until SWFC's season starts (scary but true) and it's been a pretty tough few weeks to be a Wednesdayite... ... but today we want to take a look at the positives. Dom and James pick out their reasons to be cheerful... or hopeful at least... as we head towards kick off. Let us know what you think - anything we've missed? Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters... Tyto Law:&nbs...

We're back with a look at the hefty report into the reasons for the -12 deductions, along with some new recruits both on the pitch and on the touchline, and some fixtures to discuss. Dom and James are joined by Oliver from Tyto Law to cast his legal opinion over the EFL hearing saga. Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters...

It took a while - a very very long while - but we finally have a verdict and Wednesday will (probably) start next season on -12 points. Dom and James talk about the punishment, what happens next, and the likely impact on Wednesday's summer. Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters...

The end of the season - but not the end of the story. Wednesday limp over the finish line with two defeats - we look back on a week of defensive calamity and ask what next? Who would we keep from the current squad? And any loan players we'd like to bring back. There's talk of Garry Monk's future and of course the EFL charge, which rumbles on... and on.... and on.... and on.... Thank you to our awe...

Well that's more like it - four points and two clean sheets in the last week for Wednesday. We reflect on victory at Loftus Road and a goalless draw at home to Huddersfield. Next up it's off down to Fulham and then back to Hillsborough to face Middlesbrough in Neil Warnock's 692nd retirement 'farewell' game. And could there be a new face arriving soon at S6? Thank you to our awesome Gold supporter...

A shocker of a week as Wednesday fall to defeat twice. We try and find some positives - it doesn't go well. We also hear Garry Monk's thoughts - is he worried about not getting time to turn it around? And Dom gives James a fun quiz to work out just how rubbish we are right now. Thank you to our awesome Gold supporters... Tyto Law:  https://www.tytolaw.co.uk/ Low 6:  https://low6.co.uk/ C...

A mixed week for The Owls with a win at Bristol City before defeat at home to West Brom on Wednesday night. We take a look at the talking points from both games. Plus the big question - is Alex Hunt in line for his first starting place? We chat about the players who've left S6 this week, and reflect on the news some players haven't received their full pay. And as ever, we talk to Garry Monk ahead...

Football is back - and we reflect on a late point against Forest in a game where frankly we deserved to win. But we start this week's episode with our thoughts on a challenging subject in football right now - that of racism in the game. We are not here to preach, or to judge, but we feel it's important for us to show our support for Black Lives Matter and - more explicitly - for Sheffield Wednesda...

Yep it's been 105 days since Wednesday went to Brentford and lo... actually we'll not talk about that. But football is finally back - albeit with a very different. Dom and James look ahead to Saturday's clash with Forest. Who is likely to play, and who's not available? Plus hear from Garry Monk and Adam Reach. Thank you to our Gold supporter, Tyto Law: https://www.tytolaw.co.uk/ Check out our Silv...

Dom and James spend a fascinating hour with former Wednesday keeper Chris Kirkland talking about his time with the Owls and much more, including: -The moment he decided to leave the club as he was literally about to put pen to paper on a new contract -Why he was relieved to lose the number one spot to Keiren Westwood -The fallout from the Leeds incident including death threats and why he can't eve...

So the Championship is set to return in barely a couple of weeks - we hear the thoughts of a very frank Garry Monk. That's a member of Wednesday's backroom staff tests positive for Coronavirus - we discuss whether it's safe for football to be returning so soon. Plus three contract extensions to talk about - and the chance of a couple of unwanted departures. Remember, it's rubbish not having footba...

We edge closer to the return of Championship football, as Wednesday resume training. Bully's claim that the play-offs is still the aim comes under our microscope, along with which players would get the nod for the first matchday XI (which prompts a most unexpected but heated argument) And we hear from Barry Bannan on what the current training schedule is like and his thoughts on football without f...

Dom and James are joined by former Wednesday Carlos Carvalhal, on the anniversary of that fateful weekend in London four years ago. We talk about his time in charge of the Owls, his thoughts on the play-off final and whether he'd do anything differently in that game if he could go back. Carlos also tells us about his continued close friendship with Dejphon Chansiri what he regrets from his third s...

So it *should* be Eurovision this weekend, so James decided to create his own... He's scored countries on the strength of the nationalities of Wednesday players from over the years. Who will get the all-important TWELVE .... and who will be left sobbing over nil-points? Plus it's four years to the day since a sensational day out in Brighton for the play-off semi final - we have a good look back at...

Sheffield Wednesday's EFL charge has been lingering for some time - but there's still so much uncertainty and many unanswered questions. In this special episode, we aim to answer every point and take a thorough look at exactly where things are - and what could happen next. We are joined by sports' lawer Kevin Carpenter, and Ollie Saxon from Tyto Law to sift through the evidence. Plus just what are...

OK, so we have no idea when next season will actually start, and there's a lot of questions to answer before then. But we ignore all that for now and piece together our dream Wednesday squad for the 2020/21 campaign. Three goalkeepers, five full backs, four centre halves, five central midfielders, four wide players and four strikers - with NINE new additions, all of whom we reckon are within Garry...

In the week of the anniversary of Wednesday's 91 League Cup win, we pick our ULTIMATE Owls 90s starting XI. Dom thinks it's going to be easy but there's some damn hard decisions in there. We agree there's four names that go straight on the team sheet no questions asked - do you concur? Let us know what your ultimate 90s team would be. Remember, it's rubbish not having football - but our sacrifice...

Introducing: The First (and hopefully not annual) Singing The Blues ISOLATION AWARDS! There's still no football so this week we draw up ten categories to pick out the best - and worst - of the season so far. These are the awards up for grabs: Most Improved Player Young Player / Newcomer  Best Game Biggest Disappointment Best Player Seen At Hillsborough Best Signing Best Goal Best Player Worst...

Still no football (although we have a go at reflect on the scant news there is) so instead we set ourselves the challenge of picking the Wednesday Squad of the Decade. Dom's already done it for Yorkshire Live so we go through and debate the choices. There's agreements, disagreements, lots of reminiscing, and Dom even changes his mind on at least one occasion. Remember, it's rubbish not having foot...

It has been an unusual few weeks in football, that's for sure. Dom and James get together to catch up with what's been going on. Dom chats about his interview with the chairman, Dejphon Chansiri. We reflect on what happens now for football, what it means for Wednesday's transfer dealings, and the effect on the EFL charge. Plus a few smiles on the way. Remember, it's rubbish not having football - b...

It's getting worse, not better, for Sheffield Wednesday. We look back at the 5-0 defeat at Brentford and some appalling performances to try to work out what's gone so badly wrong. Garry Monk's 'deep rooted issues' comment gets us talking too. Is this club just completely rotten? Owlpinions looks at the likely move to games behind closed doors and asks if that could be a blessing in disguise for We...
