Rule The Roost - A Tottenham Hotspur Podcast

Sports EN ↓ 722 episodes

Rule the Roost is a Spurs podcast where proper football man-isms meet arthouse pretension. Every Monday, Jack’s joined by a guest to wrestle with whatever state Tottenham are in – from match discussions to transfer talk and identity to existential dread. Thursdays are for Q&As, your chance to ask serious (or not) questions. And after every match, there’s a solo pod recorded on the final whistle: unfiltered, emotional, and usually involving Jack crying about Ledley King (and now Son Heung-min too). If you like your football chat somewhere between pub preacher and quasi-intellectual, you’ll prob...

Jack welcomes back host of BBC Five Live's Football Daily and Tottenham's own N17 live, Ben Haines, back to the show to discuss the current state of play. Nuno in or out?

Where Is The Hope? 28.09.2021 1:07:26

Jack speaks with Spooky aka Dear Mr Levy aka the GOAT in an attempt to pick up the pieces in the wake of this weekend's defeat to Arsenal. Is it too soon to be calling for Nuno's head? If not, what's the alternative? Levy, hero, villain or a bit of both? Is Kane just not arsed anymore? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

This Is The End. 26.05.2021 1:45:51

The 2020/21 Premier League season is now over. It feels as thought it's a momentous period in time for Tottenham, with the Jose Mourinho project ultimately failing, and now facing the loss of their golden boot winning talisman Harry Kane where do they go from here? Can Levy save his reputation? Will Pochettino come back? Jack and Raj reflect. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroo...

Shoot The F**king Laser. Blow Up The Planet. 11.05.2021 1:29:47

A long time in a galaxy far, far away... Tottenham Hotspur were a happily functioning football team managed by Mauricio Pochettino. However, we're now living in post-Mourinho times. What's next for us? Is Hojbjerg good enough? Is Tanguy Ndombele not fancied by managers? Has Daniel Levy lost his touch? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

You're Not Weird 27.04.2021 1:04:31

GET OVER IT, SNOWFLAKE, YOU LOST. Yes, Tottenham have lost yet another cup final, in what is increasingly becoming a groundhog day scenario for the lilywhites. Who is to blame? Is anyone to blame?

This Tin Can Shouldn't Be Up Here 20.04.2021 1:37:38

Not much to talk about today, really, so Jack and Raj try their best to scrabble together some thoughts on THE IMPENDING DOOM OF FOOTBALL WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN SUPER LEAGUE NOT TO MENTION THE SACKING OF JOSE MOURINHO AS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR MANAGER. *deep breath* It's a long one. It's an emotional one. We're all a bit raw and struggling to make sense of what's going on, so you know, g...

Imagine Him Scoring Against Us 24.03.2021 1:14:21

Jack and Raj are reunited to unpick what feels like a seismic period for Tottenham. The win over Aston Villa may have papered over some of the cracks, but there's bigger forces at play for Spurs now. Do they stick with Mourinho? Who are the troublemakers that Hugo Lloris speaks of? Will Harry Kane leave? It's a lot to process, but we give it a go.

We're A Special Breed 12.03.2021 1:10:45

Harry Kane shines once again, as Jack and Raj wax lyrical about our living, breathing, goalscoring, statue to be. As we head into the North London derby, with both Kane and Bale firing on all cylinders, do we have every right to now feel confident going into this fixture? Are we just the bigger club now? And after 20 years in charge, how much of this do we owe to Daniel Levy? Support this show htt...

All About Bale (and Kane and Son) 01.03.2021 1:15:42

Funnily enough, it turns out that the most ruthless British export since colonialism is actually pretty good at what he does. Yes, that's right, the world has remembered that Gareth Bale is Gareth Bale, and to be fair, most importantly Gareth Bale seems to have remembered that he's Gareth Bale.

Busted Flush 23.02.2021 1:27:01

Jack and Raj try their best to avoid speaking about defeat to West Ham by instead focussing on the Berlin club scene. They eventually do come on to discuss Tottenham's latest defeat and ponder whether or not the Mourinho experiment is over yet? If it is, who replaces him? We go through the bookies' favourites one-by-one to pick out the pros and cons of each of them, ending on a bit of love for Gar...

Solid Until They're Not 15.02.2021 1:31:19

Suffice to say, Spurs are not in a good moment. Does Mourinho have the players at his disposal? Should he be doing better with what he has?
