Son’s Tears, Shark Fears & Yet More Transfer Woes (Q&A)
It’s Thursday Q&A time and The Fighting Cock's Flav returns for a fun packed episode.
Opening with that emotional farewell from Sonny, what does it mean for the team, the dressing room, and Spurs’ identity moving forward? Has some of the star factor gone with him?
Then it’s onto the transfer window. Another frustrating summer? Maybe. But is it just the usual Levy cycle or are we all guilty of forgetting just how much has already been spent?
Plus, Flav fields your questions, including:
– Would he rather swim with sharks or eat a fermented one?
– Which Sonny goal does he wish he’d scored and how would he celebrate it?
– And... has he finally sent out those Patreon badges?
New theme music is Ghost Cat by Gillen, and you might’ve spotted the fresh new podcast art too.

Farewell Son Heung-min: A Tottenham Legend Says Goodbye
After nearly a decade of brilliance, Son Heung-min has officially announced his departure from Tottenham Hotspur. Jack is joined by Gavin to pay tribute to one of the greatest players to ever wear the lilywhite shirt.
We revisit the emotional farewell in Seoul and reflect on the unforgettable highs of his Spurs career. From that solo goal against Burnley and running past half the Chelsea team at Wembley, to lifting the Europa League as club captain. We also dive into his iconic partnership with Harry Kane, the records they smashed, and the legacy they leave behind.
Plus, we read your favourite Son memories and stories, an overwhelming outpouring of love for one of the all-time Spurs greats.
Cheers Son's crying - I'm crying - you're crying.

Spurs Win Another Trophy - Paul O Keefe (Q&A)
With Spurs tasting glory once more, this time at the hands or arch-rivals Arsenal in the Hong Kong Festival of Football, spirits were high... almost high enough to put behind us the Morgan Gibbs White saga.
But to talk over the deal that never was, Jack is joined by Tottenham's man in the know, Paul O Keefe - who not only dives into the MGW deal, but gives an additional perspective on Levy and the inner workings at Spurs.
He also answers your questions, everything from bombas that never materialised to what he likes best on a sunday roast.

Bloody Marinakis
He may well have scuppered our deal for Morgan Gibbs White, but why haven't Spurs been proactive elsewhere? It feels like the same old story yet again up in ENIC towers.

Won't Somebody Think Of The Pigeons? (Q&A)
With the news that club legend Son Heung-min might be leaving, Jack is joined by billie t to discuss why we understand the reasons for that, but why we don't exactly love the idea of it.
What's going on with Morgan Gibbs-White, what's the gut feeling? Is it off? We think it might be off.
There's been a sack load of questions this week so expect some in-depth discussions on Forest and their owner Marinakis, as well as their increasingly irritating fan base.
How are we rating the transfer window? Despite the lack of signings, is there still hope for the season with the squad we have at our disposal?
Where would you get a Daniel Levy tattoo? And why are we so mean to pigeons?
All this and more.

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.
