Rule The Roost - A Tottenham Hotspur Podcast
Rule the Roost is a Tottenham Hotspur podcast hosted by Jack Hussey. Every Monday, Jack is joined by a guest to make sense of whatever Spurs have done to everyone’s mood that week. Expect match discussion, transfer talk, wider debates about the club and the occasional attempt to work out what any of it actually means. Thursdays are for listener Q&As, covering everything from serious football questions to complete nonsense. After every match, Jack also records a solo reaction on the final whistle: immediate, unfiltered and usually much more emotional than planned. It is thoughtful Spurs discussion without taking itself too seriously, with strong opinions, pop-culture references and absolutely no interest in pretending to be neutral. Up the Spurs.

Jack is joined by professional football coach Harry Brooks to take an unfiltered, black-and-white look at the reality of Tottenham Hotspur sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table.
We kick things off by addressing Harry's reputation for being 'negative' online, explaining why his analytical coaching perspective prevents him from blindly clapping along to the club's unprecedented summer spending. We dissect the "utterly di...

Spurs lose again, this is becoming a theme. Don't expect much joy or bright-siding on this one. You've been warned. Pitiful home performance to a Villa side facing their own problems at the moment. Something has to change, and quick.

Spurs lose to Liverpool in the Carabao Cup. Another loss at Anfield. It was looking like a joyless evening, until a few subs saw things start to get going... until a Szoboszlai screamer sealed the deal.

Jack and Baker reunite to unpack Tottenham's agonising 407-minute goal drought and figure out exactly where the attack is misfiring.
We dive deep into the underlying numbers, revealing that despite leading the league with 111 take-ons and dominating penalty box touches, Spurs have generated an abysmal 2.22 xG from open play. Baker argues it is time for fans to embrace "FC Stinky" and rely on grinding out set-piece goals, especiall...

Jack jumps on to discuss Tottenham vs Everton, the first goalless draw at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Spurs controlled the game for the most part, but still, no goals. Is it the lack of a quality striker? Is it the lack of a creative number 10? Or is it becoming ever more apparent that the ground is built upon a Saxon burial ground and vengeful, disturbed spirits plague our fortunes?

Jack shares his thoughts on Tottenham’s first point of the season at a hostile City Ground.
The scoreline doesn’t really convey what was a fairly good, tense affair. Plenty of positives for Tottenham to take from that, despite the lack of cutting edge.

Jack is joined by Windy from The Extra Inch podcast to digest a miserable opening weekend for Tottenham Hotspur following a heavy defeat to Brentford.
We dissect everything that went wrong. Are we simply watching a rebuilt team suffering teething problems under Roberto De Zerbi, or did the physical mismatch expose a deeper cultural rot that still lingers at the club? We look closely at Lucas Bergvall's struggles and ask whether De...
