Jack reacts to Tottenham's exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester City in what was a pretty weird game. Felt like Spurs never really got going, which is unlike your typical Ange Postecoglou team performance. Manchester City are of course the treble winners and are managed by Pep Guardiola, but is it wrong to have hoped that we might have given a little bit more to this one? Several players just weren't at it, and despite holding them off for long periods, we didn't create enough of our own opportunities. Timo Werner was crying out for service, but Dejan Kulusevski just couldn't get the ball to him. The biggest talking point has to be City's winner, which was a clear foul on the goalkeeper Vicario. How was that given?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jack reacts to Tottenham's 2-2 draw away at Old Trafford. Once upon a time Manchester United were the most feared club on planet earth, now little old Spurs can be leaving feeling somewhat annoyed not to have won. An encouraging debut from Timo Werner, and a standout performance from Richarlison were two of the major positives for Ange Postecoglou's men. Rodrigo Bentancur ran the show, as Manchester United struggled to come up with anything to both Spurs in the second half. Annoying to have let Hojlund and Rashford score as well, but still, all in all, a great performance.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Spurs see off 2023 in style by getting a hard-fought three points off a Bournemouth side in great form and brimming with confidence. Goals from Sarr, Son and Richarlison helped put the Cherries to bed and Ange Postecoglou almost got in a punch-up on the sidelines. That moves Tottenham back up the Premier League and still within touching distance of the top places.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Spurs have been battered on the South Coast by a depleted Brighton side. It's a night to forget for everyone but Veliz, who scored his first goal for the club in the 4-2 drubbing. Tottenham gave it a go at an unlikely comeback in the closing stages, but in truth, it was too little too late. Was Ange Postecoglou to blame, or is this one on the players?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Spurs come through with a win, but Everton didn't make it easy. Ange Postecoglou's men continue to recover their form as they creep up the table again after that horrible November. The football was sublime at times, but the second half shows how much we need more quality off the bench. Great to get a win before Christmas as Richarlison comes back to haunt his old team.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

It's another win for Spurs as they continue their resurgence following the gloom of November. Ugly, ugly game, but lovely goals from Richarlison and MOTM contender Kulusevski saw Spurs take all three points. The evening was only slightly marred by Both Udogie and Bissouma picking up suspensions. Still, that's a problem for another day.

Jack welcomes Lara back to the pod to dissect Tottenham's recent win against Newcastle, putting an end to a month-long victory drought.

Tottenham have finally tasted victory again, after what feels like an eternity. Two goals from Richarlison, along with a neat finish from Udogie and penalty from Sonny to cap an impressive performance from the captain saw us get a little revenge over Newcastle after their bombastic victory at St. James' Park last season. Ange Postecoglou's Lilywhites are back in action and I think Pape Matar Sarr for a lot of that. UP THE SPURS!! COME ON YOU SPURS!!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.
