Jack speaks with Spooky aka Dear Mr Levy aka the GOAT in an attempt to pick up the pieces in the wake of this weekend's defeat to Arsenal. Is it too soon to be calling for Nuno's head? If not, what's the alternative? Levy, hero, villain or a bit of both? Is Kane just not arsed anymore? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast.

The 2020/21 Premier League season is now over. It feels as thought it's a momentous period in time for Tottenham, with the Jose Mourinho project ultimately failing, and now facing the loss of their golden boot winning talisman Harry Kane where do they go from here?

A long time in a galaxy far, far away... Tottenham Hotspur were a happily functioning football team managed by Mauricio Pochettino. However, we're now living in post-Mourinho times. What's next for us? Is Hojbjerg good enough? Is Tanguy Ndombele not fancied by managers? Has Daniel Levy lost his touch? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast.

GET OVER IT, SNOWFLAKE, YOU LOST. Yes, Tottenham have lost yet another cup final, in what is increasingly becoming a groundhog day scenario for the lilywhites. Who is to blame? Is anyone to blame?

Not much to talk about today, really, so Jack and Raj try their best to scrabble together some thoughts on THE IMPENDING DOOM OF FOOTBALL WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE EUROPEAN SUPER LEAGUE NOT TO MENTION THE SACKING OF JOSE MOURINHO AS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR MANAGER. *deep breath* It's a long one.

Jack and Raj are reunited to unpick what feels like a seismic period for Tottenham. The win over Aston Villa may have papered over some of the cracks, but there's bigger forces at play for Spurs now. Do they stick with Mourinho? Who are the troublemakers that Hugo Lloris speaks of? Will Harry Kane leave? It's a lot to process, but we give it a go.

Harry Kane shines once again, as Jack and Raj wax lyrical about our living, breathing, goalscoring, statue to be. As we head into the North London derby, with both Kane and Bale firing on all cylinders, do we have every right to now feel confident going into this fixture? Are we just the bigger club now? And after 20 years in charge, how much of this do we owe to Daniel Levy? Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

Funnily enough, it turns out that the most ruthless British export since colonialism is actually pretty good at what he does. Yes, that's right, the world has remembered that Gareth Bale is Gareth Bale, and to be fair, most importantly Gareth Bale seems to have remembered that he's Gareth Bale. Jack and Raj spend pretty much an entire podcast discussing how exciting it is to live in a world where Bale, Kane and Son threaten to be everything we'd dreamed they could be.
