Inside Spurs’ Greatest Night | Rob Daly & Ben Haines on Bilbao, The Parade & The Feels
Continuing the international break theme and easing that listless, no-Spurs feeling, Jack’s joined by Tottenham’s very own comms duo, Rob Daly and Ben Haines, to relive the unforgettable Europa League Final in Bilbao.
They share what it was like being on the inside of one of the greatest nights in the club’s history, from how they prepared to cover it professionally to the emotional high of witnessing a night where Spurs weren’t just there to take part, but to win.
There’s talk of the surreal trophy parade that followed, the sheer scale of celebration, and why the whole atmosphere around the club that night felt so different.
A must-listen for any Spurs fan who wants to feel that joy all over again.
Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen.

Spurs’ Attacking Issues - Players or System? | Odobert Debate & Peak Bale vs Kane vs Modric | Windy from The Extra Inch (Q&A)
No Spurs this week, but plenty to talk about. Jack is joined by The Extra Inch’s Windy to take stock of Tottenham’s season so far. Is Thomas Frank genuinely builing a brighter future, or is his system limited? They debate whether the team’s attacking issues come down to personnel or system, and share thoughts on Wilson Odobert's ability and potential dividing fans right now.
Then it’s onto listener questions:– How should we manage expectations around young players like Mikey Moore and Luca Williams-Barnet?– Which fumbled academy prospects could’ve made it if handled better?– Who of Kane, Bale or Modric at their Tottenham peak would transform this side most?
These and many more. Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen

Spurs Show Steel at Elland Road | Unbeaten in Seven & Finding Their Shape
Jack is joined by Billie T to discuss Tottenham’s 2-1 win over Leeds United, a huge result before the international break that ends Leeds’ long unbeaten run at Elland Road.
The lads talk about Spurs’ growing solidity under Thomas Frank, the remarkable stat of being the only Premier League team not to concede in the final 15 minutes of games, and whether Frank’s pragmatic, low-xG style is sustainable.
There’s praise for Mathys Tel after his goal, Xavi Simons’ influence through the middle, and Udogie’s return to form.

REACTION: Leeds 1-2 Spurs | Spurs Win to go Unbeaten in Seven
Spurs became the first team to win at Elland road since September 2024 as they left Yorkshire the victors this afternoon. Despite another solid performance full of belief from Frank's men, there remains some skepticism from the fanbase.
Shouldn't we just get on with it and try and enjoy the fact that Spurs aren't losing loads of games at the moment?

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.
