North London Demolition | Eze's Hat-trick & Re-energising The Spurs Husk
Jack is joined by friend of the show Phil to pick through the wreckage of a 4-1 battering at the hands of Arsenal.
We discuss how the universe seems to have conspired to let Eze bag a hat-trick against us, the alarming lack of fight within the squad, and the urgent need for the Lewis family to make good on their promises and re-energise this husk of a football club.
We also put the spotlight on Thomas Frank, is he the man for the long term, or is he struggling under the pressure of the job?

Hating Arsenal with Flav | Mum Jokes, Roast Dinner Crimes & Radiohead (Q&A)
Jack welcomes The Fighting Cock’s head honcho Flav back to the show ahead of the North London derby for a defiantly anti-Arsenal chat.
They get into Flav’s disdain for the commodification of the fixture and whether the divide between the clubs has ever felt this wide since the peak Wenger years.
Flav then answers your questions, from which injured player deserves the super magic sponge, to whether you’d trade a 4–0 derby win for a week of Marv-from-Home Alone-style trauma.
There’s also a debate about rogue roast dinner condiments, the place of HP and chilli sauce at Christmas, and Flav’s favourite Radiohead tune.

Troy Parrott’s Big Week & Spurs Mini Quiz Special
With the international break upon us, Jack brings some light relief to Rule the Roost by welcoming Dan Kilpatrick, Tom Hayward and Sean Walsh for a Spurs quiz special. Before the games begin, the panel reflect on Troy Parrott’s standout week with the Republic of Ireland and whether Spurs were too quick to let him go.
Then it’s onto Quizmaster Tom Foin’s meticulously crafted questions, from top-scoring nationalities to North London Derby brain-teasers, as the lads battle it out for Spurs trivia supremacy.
A fun, semi-competitive detour from the usual soul-searching and arse wobbling.

Acerca de 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.
