REACTION: Spurs 4-0 FC Copenhagen | Give van de Ven the Puskás Award!
Tottenham run riot in North London with a dominant 4-0 win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League and it’s Micky van de Ven who stole the show. The Dutch defender produced a surreal solo goal that surely has him in contention for the Puskás Award.
Jack breaks down one of Spurs’ best performances this season, discussing Frank's more progressive tactics, standout displays across the pitch, and what this result means for Spurs going forward.

Was Tottenham’s Defeat to Chelsea One of Their Worst Performances Ever?
Jack is joined by Cal from Below the Belt and The Fighting Cock to pick apart Tottenham’s dismal showing against Chelsea, and ask the question, was it one of the worst Spurs performances of all time?
They discuss whether Thomas Frank is really cut out for a job of this scale, unpack the van de Ven and Djed Spence incident that hinted at dressing-room tension, and debate whether the issues lie in personnel or system.
The pair also look ahead to the Champions League clash with Copenhagen and what kind of signings Spurs need to make to truly push on.
Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen.

REACTION: Spurs 0-1 Chelsea | Tottenham's Terrible Home Form/Form Against Chelsea Continues
A seriously poor performance from Tottenham has seen them slump to yet another defeat to Chelsea. Little in the way of attacking threat, disjointed passages of play and now ropey defending. Thomas Frank's work is cut out for him trying to change a few opinions on his brand of football right now.

Newcastle Give Spurs Some Perspective At St James’ Park | Billie T’s Gregg’s Order and Harry Kane’s Return (Q&A)
Jack is joined by Billie T in the aftermath of Tottenham’s draw at St James’ Park. There’s a sense of perspective about the result. Spurs were stoic in the face of Newcastle’s quality, but the discussion soon turns to the work still needed in recruitment. The pair chat about Antonín Kinský’s shaky display and whether the calls to replace Vicario were a bit premature, before digging into Xavi Simons’ recent struggles with form.
It’s also a listener Q&A, featuring questions like: which 90s Spurs player would improve this team, what should happen with Dane Scarlett, what’s Billie’s go-to Gregg’s order and could a Harry Kane return ever be on the cards?
Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen.

REACTION: Newcastle 2-0 Tottenham (League Cup) | Spurs Lose Fair And Square To The Better Team
Obviously it's never a joyful occasion to watch Spurs lose in a cup competition, especially if you're one of the fans who travelled up to Newcastle, but sometimes you just have to take it for what it is... Spurs being beaten by the better side on the night.
Did we learn much from that one? Did Thomas Frank? Is Kinsky ready to take over from Vicario? Who knows... not me.

About Rule The Roost - A Tottenham Hotspur Podcast
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 probably get on with this.
Expect plenty of pop-culture references too.
Up the Spurs.
