Jack reacts to Tottenham's dominant 4-0 win over Everton in their first home game of the season. Son Heung-min led the way with a brilliant brace, while Yves Bissouma lit up the stadium with a stunning long-range strike. Cuti Romero added to the tally with a commanding header, capping off a perfect day for Spurs. Jack also highlights encouraging performances from new signing Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski, who impressed in a central role. Ange Postecoglou's men have put that disappointing draw against Leicester behind them and are looking onwards and upwards. Up the Spurs!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Jack delves into Tottenham's 1-1 draw away at Leicester City in the season opener. Pedro Porro’s first-half header put Spurs ahead, but Jamie Vardy's second-half equaliser left us frustrated, with little in the way of meaningful chances after that. He also talks about the concerning head injury to Rodrigo Bentancur, who thankfully seems to be okay after being taken off. On a brighter note, Dominic Solanke's debut offered a glimmer of hope, but overall, it was a disappointing evening for Spurs. Tune in as Jack breaks down the match and what it means for the season ahead.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jack welcomes Mark 'The Viking' Nesbit back to the Rule the Roost podcast to delve into Tottenham's pre-season developments. How have Spurs navigated the transfer market? Mark addresses the concerns of the more vocally negative fans. Is Dominic Solanke a wise addition, considering his hefty price tag? The prolonged transfer saga has left many wondering why Spurs didn't act sooner. Lucas Bergvall, the 18-year-old Swedish midfielder, looks set to make an immediate impact—whose spot could he claim in the first team? Meanwhile, teenage sensation Mikey Moore has committed to Tottenham with a new contract, but is it too soon to get excited about a player who has only just turned 17? Plus, Jack gets Mark's bold predictions for the upcoming season.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Tottenham's first real test of pre-season, Ange Postecoglou's men didn't look great. Despite a rocket from Pedro Porro and a bright second half from Lucas Bergvall, Spurs looked uninspiring at best. Defensively suspect, and lacking any real invention or focal point upfront. It may only be a friendly, but it's still somewhat concerning. Let's hope they get some business done soon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Spurs are back and already they're in a cup final! Tottenham take on J-Leaguers Vissel Kobe in a preseason friendly. But before the game, there's a few things to discuss - Hojbjerg gone, was he unfairly treated? Ben Davies, 10 years - is he unfairly treated? Spurs linked with Chiesa, Neto and various other names - what do we need? Also, Mikey Moore, the literal GOAT, or too much pressure on the lad?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

England are in the final of the Euros once again, and this time it's on German soil - the first time the men's team have reached a major final abroad. One of the major talking points after Ollie Watkins late winner against the Netherlands is whether or not Harry Kane, who is in the running for the golden boot still, should even start the game.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.
