Rule The Roost - A Tottenham Hotspur Podcast

Jack is away on holiday, but unlike when Raj is gone, the world doesn't stop and wait until his return. We've got Seb from the Premier League Owl admirably stepping in to the Tottenham breach though making his debut. Gareth from Wise Men Say podcast is back one-on-one with Raj, where they complain about Redknapp and discuss the old hypothetical billionaire Sheikh scenario. That's about that, COYS....

After missing last week's edition, we're back with a bumper super episode. We talk Liverpool. We talk Kat from the THST. We talk transfer window. We talk a load of bollocks. It's why you love us.

We don't even have a guest this week but we're still here. We talk pre-season, and we talk a little West Ham. It's the start of the year, don't judge us too harshly. We'll be back on track in no time…promise. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices.

tehTrunk and Bains talking about the best World Cup that has ever, ever existed in any sport ever anywhere. There's also a bit of chat about training kit speculation, semis and the United States of America. Love it. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

We couldn't help ourselves, so here's a special World Cup show, dissecting the group stages in a way only we know how. Jack and Raj will bookend the show as always, but the middle is where it becomes interesting: groups A-D are reviewed by Raj and Sam Tighe of the Bleacher Report, because Jack had to do some work, and groups E-H are discussed by Raj, Jack and Rob Brown of this parish, just to thro...

Reflections on a dire season. Hope for the future? Who knows. Joined by Rob 'Captain Calculator' Brown, offering his neutral (Spurs in disguise) insight.

What could be worse than losing to Arsenal three times in a season? Listen and find out (Hint: Losing to West Ham three times in a season.) Our XXX rated True Detective spin off comes to life too. If you're still listening after all that, you'll hear us talking with Aston Villa superfan Sam Tighe, who discusses Villa's awful season, Tim Sherwood's foul mouth and obscure Bundesliga footballers. Sup...

Stoke away is assessed, and special attention is paid to Danny Rose, who had an interesting afternoon. We spoke about Game Of Thrones too, obviously. Sam Diss from Sabotage Times was our West Ham guest, and aside from his choice of club, he was an absolute delight. We talked about kebabs, spotting footballers in public, his passionate support of the BNP and there was some football thrown in at sta...

This week, we've found a pornographic parody of Game Of Thrones - imaginatively titled Game Of Bones - that naturally takes precedent. We discuss beating Fulham a little bit, too. Eriksen is good, Sandro is funny and Sherwood is still a laughing stock. We discuss who might come in to manage the side this summer, and take in to account recent developments at Manchester United. Because he's done the...

West Brom, Fulham, Game Of Thrones - all the things you've come to know and love. Raj presents and does the interview alone...again, but Jack is about in the worlds loudest office to help open and close the show - the magic of editing.

This week, we welcome the victory against Sunderland with as much enthusiasm as we do the return of Game Of Thrones. We discuss Kane, Eriksen, Van Gaal and can't find a manager between us that we wouldn't want over Sherwood - not even Pardew. West Brom is previewed with an opposition guest, and for a change, it's just by Raj rather than Jack, but all is explained as we tear down the proverbial fou...

Liverpool discussed, odd Jack inspired unplanned book club mentioned and Luis Suarez not called a racist, so we'll do that here instead. Tunnel slouching, Vertonghen and Lloris leaving, Barça ban effects on Tottenham all looked at also. Sunderland soon, so we had Gareth from Wise Men Say back on, who given where his club are and how they're playing, was probably more downcast and depressed then we...

Benfica away is discussed and the comeback against Southampton analysed. Jack has a rant that starts off supporting Sherwood, but seems to call for his head by the end of it. He's a bit undecided. Liverpool fans are on again and Bains makes things awkward in record time. He literally has no regrets. Things, as they seem to have been more and more recently, get a bit depressing towards the end. We...

Benfica and Arsenal at home are discussed with all of the passion of a dead green eared spaghetti monster. Southampton is previewed with Steve Grant of The Saints Web and neither of us think we're going to win. Neither does Steve. Alfredo is back to talk Benfica, lovely and gracious as ever he was, also giving Raj chance to play mind games by bringing up the curse of Béla Guttmann and Jack spared...

This episode of Rule The Roost is dedicated to the memory of Darren Alexander, who was the Joint-Chairman of the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust. Sadly, he passed away suddenly last week. Our best wishes and thoughts are with his loved ones at this time. Chelsea is discussed, Sherwood is evaluated, tears are shed and group hugs had yet again. Benfica at home is previewed with our first ever Eu...

Dnipro comeback, Cardiff win, Soldado goal - all summed up in the most Rule The Roost fashion possible. We then talked Chelsea with Joe and Freddie, who are both fans of that particular club. We talked about their players, manager and likelihood to win the league. We didn't question their morals as much though, sadly. Freddie gave us a painful story about Jermaine Jenas stealing his university gir...

Instead of talking about losing to Dnipro and Norwich properly, Jack sang a song and Raj had a meltdown about people running around in the woods on The Walking Dead. No, really. We regrouped and actually had a decent discussion about the games, if you were maybe worried, but we'd rather have found a corner to gently sob and rock in. Joined by two Cardiff fans before this weekends game, we thanked...

Laughing at Newcastle, laughing with Lego and coming at you with brand spanking new recording software, Rule The Roost has never been better*. Most unlike our guests this week, who both support Norwich. Fears of relegation, wanting to sack their manager and no real hope going in to a home game against us, they really put a perspective on how good we've got it. *Please note: Rule The Roost may have...

Somehow, without us knowing how, we beat Everton. We do our best to make sense of it alongside Chris 'WindyCOYS' Miller, who made a lifelong dream come true by appearing on the show, apparently. Looking forward to Newcastle, Taylor of the Taylor And Besty podcast was back, this time bringing along Besty for the ride. We discussed our managers, our players and the game ahead...for some of the time....

We didn’t record a Hull podcast, mainly because we didn’t want to. We’re not even sorry, to be honest. We’re back now though, brushing over two bad results in record time, literally doing our best not to delve in to the games past reading the scores out. Joined again by friends of the show and our favourite Everton fans going, Si and Bally from the NSNO Podcast are back on the line helping us disc...

With the Welsh conquered for a second time away this season, another away win is up for discussion in the shape of Swansea City. Much more pressingly though, with this being our 26th episode of the podcast, we took special time to discuss the legend that is Ledley King, and come close to tears as we remember the player that was and the man that is. Manchester City come to Tottenham next, and with...

Another win under Tim Sherwood to discuss, the lads look back to the Palace game, with special attention paid to poor old Jason Puncheon. Also discussed was Lewis Holtby's future, Nabil Bentaleb being the second coming and the possible passing of Capoue to Napoli. Then joined by Matt from Lost Boyos, this weekends game was firmly on the agenda. We talked Laudrup, Martinez and Rodgers, as well as p...

Back after a prolonged break over Christmas and New Year, the good ship Rule The Roost rides again in to 2014, discussing everything we've missed during the holidays. Looking forward to the home game against Crystal Palace, we have Chris and Albert from Holmesdale Radio on to discuss the game and sending each other's mothers raunchy pictures of ourselves. Warning: This show includes and accidental...

In our second episode in as many days, and quite possibly, although not entirely confirmed, last before the New Year, we responded to some Redknapp talk from feedback received regarding the Villas-Boas special. We also had a word on Sherwood and his first public interview since the announcement was made yesterday. There was also a short preview of West-Ham in the cup. Moving back to some form of R...
