Rule The Roost

Jack is joined by Phil to break down Tottenham's dominant display away at Everton, from Micky van de Ven's brace to the growing importance of set-pieces under Thomas Frank. Are Spurs evolving into a more pragmatic, mature side? And what does their efficiency from dead-balls tell us about how football is changing, especially when even Arsenal's open-play output has dipped despite sitting top of the league? We blame late-stage capitalism, because why not? Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Spurs have climbed to third in the Premier League after a solid, but strangely unexciting win away at whatever Everton's new stadium is called. The first team to score from a set-piece against Everton, as well as being the first team to beat them at their new ground in the Premier League. Thomas Frank's introduction of Kolo Muani from the beginning was a welcome addition, regardless of the Palhinha x Bentancur double pivot. How good are Spurs? Do we know? No. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Following Tottenham's drab 0-0 draw with Monaco, Jack is joined by Dan Louw to ask whether Thomas Frank is really the right man to take Spurs forward. The football's tough to watch, the results aren't disastrous, but is it just mediocrity dressed up as progress? They also dig into Xavi Simons' faltering form, his crisis of confidence, and whether Spurs' issues can really be solved by new signings or if a change of manager would put Spurs on an upward curve. In the Q&A, Dan reflects on his classic Away Days YouTube series, the changing nature of football content, and whether he'd ever bring it back. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tottenham played out a goalless draw in Monaco in a largely forgettable match - more likely remembered for Thomas Frank's somewhat baffling team selection to start the match. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jack is joined by Gavin to break down Tottenham's defeat to Aston Villa, a result that laid bare the increasingly cautious nature of Thomas Frank's side. From the conservative midfield of Palhinha and Bentancur to the lack of attacking spark and Xavi Simons' quiet display, it was another afternoon where control seemed to take priority over creativity. The pair also question whether Spurs' struggles come down to tactics or personnel with Tel and Odobert under scrutiny and debate the ongoing concerns around Pape Sarr's minutes and Vicario's form. The chat closes on the bigger issue: Tottenham's home form and atmosphere. With ticket prices sky-high and the football often uninspired, is it any wonder the stadium feels flat?

Tottenham slipped to a 2-1 home defeat against Aston Villa in a flat and frustrating performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Despite a bright start, Spurs quickly lost control and never looked convincing once Villa grew into the game. Questions are now being asked of Thomas Frank's reserved tactical approach, with his side once again lacking attacking impetus and creativity in the final third. Further scrutiny also falls on Vicario after another shaky display between the posts. A disjointed showing, a disappointing result and a warning that Spurs still feel some way off finding a rhythm.

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tottenham have announced a fresh £100m investment from the club's owners, but what does that actually mean? Jack speaks with Connor, aka Levynomics1882, to break it down in plain English.

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 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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.

Jack is joined by Jon Bass of the Man's Not What podcast for the latest Thursday Q&A. We reflect on Spurs' frustrating Europa League draw with Bodo/Glimt — where Thomas Frank needs to take the blame, but also where he's actually doing a good job. Which players should be stepping up, and are the younger talents being asked to carry too much pressure too soon? Then it's over to your questions, from what kind of pants Thomas Frank might wear, (and what Jon wears when tackling a burglar in the night), to which Spurs player could finish a family-sized M&S turkey and stuffing pie, and the player you'd least want beside you during a marathon.

Tottenham were held to a 2-2 draw away at Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League after one of their most shambolic displays in recent memory. The Norwegian side pressed relentlessly, played with real confidence, and fully deserved their lead, while Spurs looked disjointed, lacking belief and organisation. Even with key players missing, should Thomas Frank's side have had enough quality to see off opposition like this? Is the blame on the players, or is Frank struggling to adapt to the demands of managing a club the size of Spurs? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jack is joined by Joel from the Coys R Us podcast to reflect on Tottenham's frustrating 1-1 draw with Wolves. Was Thomas Frank too cautious in his setup, or are Spurs' struggles in attack more about the injuries in the final third? With Kulusevski, Solanke, Kolo Muani and Maddison all sidelined, the lads discuss whether the lack of urgency is tactical or circumstantial. There's also chat on Mathys Tel, why patience is needed with him, and what business Spurs may need to do in January to boost their squad options. Finally, attention turns to the midweek clash with Bodo/Glimt as Spurs look to bounce back in Europe. Theme: Ghost Cat by Gillen Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It was one of those nights for Tottenham, dominant without any real threat in patches, outright wasteful in others, and ultimately relieved to salvage a draw. A point gained feels like much more than it should. Big questions loom for Frank, can his side start to be more creative in attack? How long can Vicario's lapses be tolerated? And is this ugly draw a warning sign or a building block? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jack is joined by The Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare (also of the Football Clichés podcast) to reflect on his time covering Tottenham Hotspur. Did he feel gutted to stop reporting on Spurs just as they lifted the Europa League? Were the club too harsh in sacking Ange Postecoglou, and is Thomas Frank really the man to take Spurs to the next level? Charlie also answers your questions: did covering Spurs give him a kind of Tottenham Stockholm syndrome despite not being a fan? How does covering tennis differ from football?

Jack is joined by Tom Hayward to pick apart Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Brighton, reflecting on how Thomas Frank has raised the team's floor and brought much-needed stability before Spurs turn their focus to more expressive football. The pair dive into Daniel Levy's long-lasting legacy on transfers and squad building, and how its impact is still felt today. There's a frank discussion on whether players like Vicario, Richarlison and Solanke are of the calibre to push Spurs higher up the table, as well as praise for Xavi Simons' growing influence from a central role. The pod rounds off with a look ahead to Doncaster in midweek and the importance of Spurs securing more silverware. Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tottenham came back from 2-0 down to even out a game that they could have ultimately taken all three points in. Thomas Frank is unlikely to fend off many of his early critics with a performance that will have frustrated many, but should display the spirit within this squad to fight until the end.

Jack is joined by Bardi from The Extra Inch to unpack Tottenham's Champions League win over Villarreal, a result that has split the fanbase. Are Spurs right to prioritise clean sheets, or is the lack of creativity a growing concern? The pair dig into the Joao Palhinha debate and whether he's a valuable presence or, as Bardi has been known to call certain midfielders, a “cement mixer.” They also look ahead to Brighton, asking whether Thomas Frank has struck the right balance between pragmatism and progressiveness in his Spurs setup. Listener questions include whether or not Frank lives up to the “Swiss army knife” manager Bardi once wished for during the Ange era? What's the long-term plan for Archie Gray? And, most importantly, what are Bardi's top five cheeses? All that and more. Theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It may have been a struggle at times, but Spurs have kicked off their Champions League campaign with a win and a clean sheet.

Jack is joined by Billie T to reflect on Tottenham's 3-0 win at West Ham and what feels like the start of a proper new era under Thomas Frank. The pair discuss how Spurs are looking more organised, the growing debate around João Palhinha's place in midfield, and the rise of Pape Matar Sarr who's emerging as one of the league's brightest young talents.

Jack is joined by Ben Bowman during the international break to ask the big question: do Spurs fans really enjoy supporting England, and does the number of Arsenal players in the squad take away from it? The conversation moves on to Tottenham talking points, including why Randal Kolo Muani may have been an under-appreciated signing and the excitement around Xavi Simons stepping up as the face of the club and a genuine franchise player. Ben then fields your questions: what will be the biggest change in a post-Levy era, will Thomas Frank face added pressure to win silverware under the new regime, and how did a joke about Viktor Gyökeres in jeans end up going viral after his appearance on The Overlap?

On this episode of Rule the Roost, Jack and Phil reflect on Daniel Levy's Tottenham career following last week's announcement of his departure. Levy built a reputation as a ruthless and cut-throat chairman, but why do we feel strangely sympathetic now he's gone? We also look at the latest Spurs takeover rumours, with reports that two bids have already been turned down, and ask whether a buyout could be on the horizon or if ENIC Tavistock will cling on to power. Elsewhere, we discuss Mathys Tel speaking out after being omitted from the Champions League squad and why we're backing him to bounce back. And for some reason Tom Hardy's Bane voice gets a mention.

Jack is joined once again by Paul O Keefe to reflect on Tottenham's transfer window. With several proven, ready-made additions arriving, should Spurs fans be content with the business done, or is the hunger for more signings a generational trait of modern football support? The pair also weigh up whether outgoings could have been handled better, and debate the situation of Mathys Tel, who finds himself left out of the Champions League squad. Should we feel sympathy for him or expect him to rise to the challenge like others before him? Paul also takes on a range of listener questions, from Bentancur's contract situation to stadium naming rights, whether Lange has dropped the ball with the Champions League squad, and even shares the funniest Daniel Levy story he's heard.

Jack is joined by Iain from Poddenham Podspur to make sense of Tottenham's first Premier League defeat under new boss Thomas Frank. Did the manager get it wrong? Maybe so, but with Spurs still at the very beginning of this journey and basking in the glow of a European trophy, there's little reason for panic. The conversation turns to new arrival Xavi Simons, what makes him such an exciting signing, and how his interviews reveal a mature young player ready to carry on the legacy of Son Heung-min's number 7 shirt. Jack and Iain also look ahead to transfer deadline day. Who Spurs need, who they'd like to see, and what it all means for the season ahead. Finally, Iain talks about his own project, Poddenham Podspur – a podcast about Spurs podcasts. What began as a tongue-in-cheek idea has grown into something far more meaningful.

Tottenham look set to pull off the most unlikely deal of the summer, bringing in Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig in a move agreed overnight. Most fans woke up to the news this morning and the reaction has been nothing short of delight. Jack is joined by Kish from Lilywhite Lab to discuss why this is a genuine statement signing. It's the star factor Spurs have been craving all summer and a huge lift after the collapse of the Eze deal. We break down what makes Simons such an exciting addition, how his positivity and ambition fit perfectly into this Spurs project, and the impact he could have on the pitch alongside the likes of Sarr, Kudus and Solanke.

In part two of our special with The Athletic's Dan Kilpatrick, Jack puts your questions to him in a wide-ranging Q&A. Dan reflects on whether he misses the “tier one” status of being a Spurs beat reporter, shares the story behind his most accurate piece of transfer news, and talks about how his final exchange with Ange Postecoglou might have influenced his reporting. He also gives his verdict on Ange's reaction to “Clowngate,” discusses Daniel Levy's relationship with the media compared with fan protests, and considers whether Vinai Venkatesham will make a difference at Tottenham. Other listener questions cover which Spurs manager he most enjoyed interviewing and whether he regrets leaving the beat just as Thomas Frank arrived.

In the first of a two-part special, Jack sits down with Dan Kilpatrick, now an editor at The Athletic, to look back on his years covering Tottenham as a beat journalist. They discuss how the job changed as Spurs grew into a modern superclub, how the wider football media landscape evolved over the past decade, and what it was like reporting during the Mauricio Pochettino era — including an anecdote about a chance encounter with Poch and Jesús Pérez in Russia. Dan also reflects on Daniel Levy's deep involvement in all areas of the club, whether it's ultimately damaging, and shares his impressions of both Ange Postecoglou and Thomas Frank.

Jack is joined by Phil in the wake of Tottenham's 2-0 win over Manchester City to reflect on why things feel so different under Thomas Frank. With the era of Lloris, Kane and Son now firmly in the past, it feels like the stage is set for a new generation of players to become the figureheads of the club. We dig into the brilliance of Pape Matar Sarr, his outstanding start to the season and why he still isn't quite being spoken of as one of the very best young midfielders in Europe. Joao Palhinha's arrival has brought a new level of steel to Spurs' midfield, giving freedom to the likes of Sarr and Bentancur to flourish. There's also chat about the Eberechi Eze deal that never was, whether his allegiance to Arsenal softens the blow, and the continuing frustration around how Spurs operate in the market. A weekend of positives, but as ever, still plenty to chew over. The show's theme is Ghost Cat by Gillen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Spurs went to the Etihad and came away with yet another win over Manchester City. Brennan Johnson opened the scoring before João Palhinha capitalised on a mistake to double the lead and secure another clean sheet. Jack talks through a huge afternoon for Tottenham, with Mohammed Kudus once again producing a memorable performance in attack and Pape Matar Sarr running the midfield in a man of the match display that continues his outstanding start to the season. Palhinha's arrival has already transformed the side, adding the kind of defensive steel that allows those around him to flourish, while Thomas Frank's tactical set up frustrated City and gave Spurs the platform to strike. It is another big step forward for Tottenham in the Premier League and a result that could have a lasting impact on the season ahead. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jack is joined by John (aka Lilywhite Rose) for this week's Thursday Q&A, where the frustration of the collapsed Eberechi Eze deal takes centre stage. With Arsenal swooping in at the last minute, was this another case of Daniel Levy's drawn-out negotiations costing Tottenham, or is there any comfort to be found in missing out? John brings his expertise on Spurs' academy to the table, discussing the progress of Alfie Devine and Jamie Donley and whether either could have played a role in solving Tottenham's need for a number 10. Listener questions also spark debate on Luca Williams Barnett, Arsenal's Max Dowman, and the best young talent John has ever seen come through the Spurs academy.

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.

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.

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.
