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.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-27T02:19:59.134489+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554"},"episode":{"title":"Is De Zerbi Embracing Vibes? | Romero On His Way Out, LinkedIn Hotspur and Looking Ahead to Brighton with James Maw (Q&A)","slug":"is-de-zerbi-embracing-vibes-romero-on-his-way-out-linkedin-hotspur-and-looking-ahead-to-brighton-with-james-maw-q-a","published_at":"2026-04-16T18:48:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554/is-de-zerbi-embracing-vibes-romero-on-his-way-out-linkedin-hotspur-and-looking-ahead-to-brighton-with-james-maw-q-a","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rule-the-roost-a-tottenham-hotspur-podcast-1048554","url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG9914128886.mp3?updated=1776364323","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/COMG9914128886.mp3?updated=1776364323","summary":"Jack is joined by James Maw from The Athletic to try and make sense of another incredibly turbulent week at Tottenham Hotspur. The pair kick things off by exploring Roberto De Zerbi’s comments post Sunderland. We ask whether the famously intense tactician taking the squad for a lavish dinner and claiming they need a 'father' rather than a coach could be the Hail Mary we need right now. The conversation then turns to the news that Cristian Romero will miss the remainder of the season. Jack and James reflect on what could very well be the Argentine's final game in a Spurs shirt, asking if the mainstream media narrative has unfairly influenced how sections of our own fanbase view our first cup-winning captain in 17 years. Frustrations then shift towards the boardroom, as we vent about the deeply tone-deaf Tottenham executives posting personal corporate achievements on LinkedIn while the club's top-flight status hangs by a thread. We question whether this perfectly illustrates the absolute disconnect between the suits and the terrifying reality on the pitch. Looking ahead to a monumental clash against Brighton, the lads discuss whether De Zerbi can actually pull off a desperate result against his former, highly in-form side. Finally, James dives into a massive selection of your listener questions. We explore the potential revisionist history surrounding Daniel Levy, debate whether we would actually dominate the Championship given our previous cup struggles against Tamworth, and question Tottenham's lack of progressive passers.
