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...

RTR EXTRA: Frankfurt 0-1 Tottenham 18.04.2025

Jack unpacks Tottenham’s tense but vital 1-0 win away at Eintracht Frankfurt - a result that books Spurs a place in the Europa League semi-finals and maybe, just maybe, marks a turning point for Ange Postecoglou and his squad. Amazing character the lads showed on the night, Solanke’s calm from the spot, a backline that finally looked like it had a bit of steel to it and yes, Ange. I’ve said my fai...

Stranger Things Have Happened 15.04.2025

Tottenham have just lost 4-2 to Wolves, their 17th league defeat of the season and now sit 15th in the Premier League table. In any other season, this kind of form could potentially have them in the thick of a relegation battle. Shocking stuff for a club of this size, and for a side that’s never been relegated from the Premier League. Jack is joined by screenwriter Charlie Brafman to make sense of...

RTR EXTRA: Wolves 4-2 Tottenham 13.04.2025

Jack's instant reaction to Tottenham's brutal 4-2 defeat at Molineux. Spurs started slow, never really recovered, and now serious questions hang over Ange Postecoglou. Should he be left in charge for Tottenham's make or break game against Frankfurt? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

RTR EXTRA: Tottenham 1-1 Frankfurt 10.04.2025

Full-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it ends 1-1 in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final. A frustrating night for Spurs with plenty of possession, some real moments of quality, but no killer blow. Pedro Porro’s audacious backheel cancelled out an early Frankfurt opener, and while Maddison tried his best to pull the strings and Bergvall rattled the bar, it just wasn’t quite en...

Frankfurt Focus: What Spurs Can Expect + Oliver Glasner to Tottenham? 09.04.2025

As Tottenham prepares to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Europa League, Jack is joined by German football journalist Konrad Ringleb to delve into Frankfurt's current form, key players, and tactical approach. We discuss how the team has adapted since the departure of Omar Marmoush and highlight the threats Spurs should be aware of.​ Additionally, with reports linking former Frankfurt manager Oliver...

RTR EXTRA: Tottenham 3-1 Southampton 06.04.2025

Bye bye Southampton - relegation for the south coast big club as Ange Postecoglou's side narrowly get it across the line. Doesn't change much for Spurs but it's at least a deent bit of momentum leading into their midweek game against Frankfurt. Also a first Premier League goal for Mathys Tel.

Get Him Gone 04.04.2025

Jack welcomes Phil back to the show to go over last night again, and to look ahead at where Spurs go from here. Ange Postecoglou has once again found himself in a weird spot with the fans – or maybe not, depending on who you ask. He’s claiming there’s no issue, but his comments in today’s pre-Southampton presser suggest otherwise, with talk of falling out of love with football because of VAR. Is t...

RTR EXTRA: Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham 03.04.2025

Spurs lose at Stamford Bridge once again - but in one of the most bland matches you'll ever see between the two sides. What are Tottenham even trying to do? Is there a plan? It all looks like a waste of time now, and with Ange Postecoglou getting into a slanging match with the fans yet again, has he all but seal his own fate?

The Games Gone 01.04.2025

Jack is joined once again by Ben Bowman to unpack Tottenham Hotspur’s latest financial statement and what it really means for the club’s future. Where’s the game-changing stadium we were promised? From mounting frustrations off the pitch to stagnation on it, things aren’t looking quite as shiny as they were sold. The pair also break down the pre-season fixture against Arsenal and why the increasin...

Shape Up 27.03.2025

Jack welcomes a man who needs no introduction (Ricky from Lads Anonymous/The Fighting Cock) back to the podcast to delve fully into international break listlessness. Were we expecting Ange to be sacked? Should he be sacked? What are our and your thoughts on Djed Spence's appearance on Rio's podcast? Cristian Romero and selling at the 'right time'...and while we're on centre backs, we say goodbye t...

Bring Your Own Blockbuster 24.03.2025

With no Premier League action to stress over, Jack is joined by presenter, producer and Bring Your Own Blockbuster co-host Ben Haines for a special Rule the Roost x BYOB crossover episode. The pair look back on a heartwarming afternoon at White Hart Lane as Spurs legends rolled back the years against AC Milan. There’s plenty of nostalgia, a few tears, and even a car park run-in with Ledley King th...

Will We Ever See Spurs Win Something Again? 19.03.2025

RTR EXTRA: Fulham 2-0 Tottenham 16.03.2025

Spurs lose again, this time at the hands of a ruthless Fulham side. Rodrigo Muniz and ex-Spur Ryan Sessegnon did the damage, leaving Tottenham with more questions than answers. Has the Ange revolution hit a dead end? Is this the beginning of the end for Postecoglou? Join Jack as he asks the big question - where do Spurs go from here?

RTR EXTRA: Tottenham 3-1 AZ 13.03.2025

Tottenham are through to the Europa League quarter-finals after a massive 3-1 win over AZ Alkmaar, and Jack is here to react to a huge European night for Spurs. How did Ange’s side turn it around after the first-leg setback? Who were the standout performers? And what does this mean for the rest of the season? Get involved in the chat, share your thoughts, and let’s enjoy a rare stress-free post-ma...

Toxic 12.03.2025

Tottenham’s season is reaching a crucial point, and Jack is joined by Bardi from The Extra Inch to break it all down. Spurs battled back to salvage a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at the weekend, why did it feel so underwhelming - and did it put you off Iraola? We also discuss Kevin Danso’s injury and what it says about the balance between Ange Postecoglou’s high-intensity methods and Tottenham’s o...

RTR EXTRA: Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth 09.03.2025

Spurs got through this one by the skin of their teeth... another totally inept performance from Ange Postecoglou's side. The manager must surely be close to the end of his time as Spurs boss?

Cristian Romer-Go? 05.03.2025

Jack welcomes friend of the show Tahm Fowens back into the mix for his hot takes and big opinions on Cristian Romero and Argentina. Should we be frustrated, or just accept that footballers love representing their countries? Or is the real issue Romero’s constant unavailability? We then turn to the AZ game, sparking memories of Spurs’ near-misses in Europe over the years - wouldn’t it be nice to fi...

A Bright Future? 27.02.2025

Another valiant effort, another frustrating result. Jack is joined by special guest Mark Nesbit to dissect Tottenham’s 1-0 defeat to Manchester City. They break down Postecoglou’s tactical approach, Spurs’ second-half resurgence and of course, the decision to leave out Djed Spence. Also, listener questions! Where are Spurs as a club right now? Is there a positive future in store for us? Is Ange a...

RTR EXTRA: Spurs 0-1 Man City 26.02.2025

Spurs fall to Manchester City thanks to a goal from Erling Haaland, but the real talking point is Ange Postecoglou’s rotation choices - especially the omission of Djed Spence. Was it the right call?

RTR EXTRA: Ipswich 1-4 Tottenham 22.02.2025

Spurs have just smashed Ipswich 4-1 at Portman Road, making it three wins in a row - are we finally back on track?

RTR EXTRA: Spurs 1-0 Man Utd 16.02.2025

Tottenham beat Manchester United 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, completing the double over them for the first time since 1989-90 season. James Maddison grabbed the winner and shushed the camera, a fitting response to Roy Keane’s criticism earlier this week. Ange Postecoglou’s side keeps climbing the table, while United’s struggles continue. How far have they fallen from the Ferguson era? Su...

Is His Goose Cooked? 10.02.2025
