Rule The Roost

Jack reacts to Tottenham's dominant 4-0 win over Everton in their first home game of the season. Son Heung-min led the way with a brilliant brace, while Yves Bissouma lit up the stadium with a stunning long-range strike. Cuti Romero added to the tally with a commanding header, capping off a perfect day for Spurs. Jack also highlights encouraging performances from new signing Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski, who impressed in a central role. Ange Postecoglou's men have put that disappointing draw against Leicester behind them and are looking onwards and upwards. Up the Spurs!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Jack delves into Tottenham's 1-1 draw away at Leicester City in the season opener. Pedro Porro’s first-half header put Spurs ahead, but Jamie Vardy's second-half equaliser left us frustrated, with little in the way of meaningful chances after that. He also talks about the concerning head injury to Rodrigo Bentancur, who thankfully seems to be okay after being taken off. On a brighter note, Dominic Solanke's debut offered a glimmer of hope, but overall, it was a disappointing evening for Spurs. Tune in as Jack breaks down the match and what it means for the season ahead.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jack welcomes Mark 'The Viking' Nesbit back to the Rule the Roost podcast to delve into Tottenham's pre-season developments. How have Spurs navigated the transfer market? Mark addresses the concerns of the more vocally negative fans. Is Dominic Solanke a wise addition, considering his hefty price tag? The prolonged transfer saga has left many wondering why Spurs didn't act sooner. Lucas Bergvall, the 18-year-old Swedish midfielder, looks set to make an immediate impact—whose spot could he claim in the first team? Meanwhile, teenage sensation Mikey Moore has committed to Tottenham with a new contract, but is it too soon to get excited about a player who has only just turned 17? Plus, Jack gets Mark's bold predictions for the upcoming season.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Tottenham's first real test of pre-season, Ange Postecoglou's men didn't look great. Despite a rocket from Pedro Porro and a bright second half from Lucas Bergvall, Spurs looked uninspiring at best. Defensively suspect, and lacking any real invention or focal point upfront. It may only be a friendly, but it's still somewhat concerning. Let's hope they get some business done soon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Spurs are back and already they're in a cup final! Tottenham take on J-Leaguers Vissel Kobe in a preseason friendly. But before the game, there's a few things to discuss - Hojbjerg gone, was he unfairly treated? Ben Davies, 10 years - is he unfairly treated?

England are in the final of the Euros once again, and this time it's on German soil - the first time the men's team have reached a major final abroad.

And that's it for the season! All in all, a decent enough first season in charge for Ange Postecoglou.

Manchester City have finally broken the curse of the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, triumphing 2-0 in their must win fixture in the title race. It was a weird evening for Spurs fans, as they knew that a result for Tottenham would all but hand the title to Arsenal. It was a no win situation, and it has caused countless arguments over the past couple of days. Spurs showed that they could be flexible and play well, but ultimately, it just wasn't enough.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Jack and Phil are back to discuss relegating Burnley after Spurs' less than emphatic victory over them on the weekend before moving onto the big one. Tottenham vs Manchester City - a no-win fixture for Ange Postecoglou's men. What are we as fans supposed to do, when a victory for Tottenham could hand the title to Arsenal. Some people say it's about supporting your own club, but surely wanting Arsenal to fail is part of that?

Jack welcomes The Athletic's Jack Pitt-Brooke to the show to discuss yet another loss to Liverpool, making that four on the bounce in the Premier League, something Spurs have managed to avoid for over two decades now. Is time up for Ange, or do Spurs need to stick this one out? It would appear as though time has run out for several members of the squad, so it will be interesting to see who Daniel Levy may sanction moves for this summer.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Tottenham lose at Anfield once again. Battered by Liverpool, Ange Postecoglou's men did fight back and score two of their own goals courtesy of Richarlison and Son Heung-min, but it was too little too late to salvage anything. That's the first time Spurs have lost four Premier League games on the bounce in over 20 years. How is it looking this bad?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.
