Jack is joined by Lara to look back on Tottenham’s opening day win over Burnley, where Richarlison lit up Thomas Frank’s debut with two superb goals including an outrageous bicycle kick. Mohammed Kudus was equally impressive, pulling the strings in midfield and combining brilliantly with Richarlison to give Spurs a new attacking edge.
We also dive into the latest twists in the transfer market, from the rollercoaster pursuit of Eberechi Eze with Oliver Glasner insisting he is staying put at Palace, to Spurs’ ambitious chase for Savinho at Manchester City.
Plenty to be optimistic about as the new season begins.

REACTION: Spurs 3-0 Burnley - Opening Day Delight for Spurs | Richarlison Reborn
Spurs returned to Premier League action under new manager Thomas Frank in stunning fashion with a 3-0 victory over Burnley. Scott Parker’s side were praised for their defensive solidity in the Championship, but the Premier League is a different story.
Tottenham are now without Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, yet may already have a couple of new heroes in their ranks. Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison combined brilliantly for two impressive goals, including an absolute worldie from the Brazilian, before Brennan Johnson sealed the win with a neat finish.
Join Jack as he breaks down the performance, the standout players and what this opening day statement could mean for Spurs this season.

They also discuss what Eberechi Eze could bring if Spurs complete the signing.
James answers listener questions on his career, Danny Kelly’s cooking and whether he has ever made an Arsenal fan cry.

Spurs Squad Worries, Levy Reality Check & Kane’s Strange Interview
With the new season fast approaching, we take a hard look at Tottenham’s squad depth and where the concerns really lie. Is there any point still getting angry about the way Daniel Levy and ENIC run the club, or is this simply who they are?
We also talk through Harry Kane’s “exclusive” interview on the Spurs website and why it was such an odd move from the club, even if it didn’t exactly wind us up.
We also look ahead to the UEFA Super Cup final against PSG and why there’s every reason to stay hopeful, even with the odds stacked against us.

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.
