Rule The Roost

Jack and Phil pick over the bones of the weekend's footballing action, starting with Aston Villa strengthening their grip on fourth place...and despite what this means for Tottenham's Champions League hopes, it takes Arsenal further away from winning the league, and, so, the lads can't help but celebrate. Speaking of celebrations, Tottenham's Women's team is also in the FA Cup final for the first time in their history, so Wembley awaits. Finally, the pair to move onto the men's debacle at St James Park, in what is annoyingly now becoming our annual battering in Newcastle. Is Ange right to write-off the top four, is this having an impact on the players? What is going wrong for Spurs at the moment with their indifferent form? James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Yves Bissouma, all have put in questionable performances of late. Timo Werner, who once represented great value for money, is now also looking like he could be an awful move for the club. Plenty to discuss, enjoy!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/

Spurs are battered at St James Park once again. It's a performance that nobody can leave without a question mark over them, especially Ange Postecoglou, whose magic seems to have all but worn off. Very troubling performance for a team supposedly chasing Champions League football.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Tottenham are victorious as the pursuit for Champions League football intensifies - well, in the second half at least. Yes, Ange Postecoglou's Spurs have beaten Nottingham Forest to move back into the top four in the Premier League, leapfrogging Aston Villa. We may have ended the game well, but that doesn't tell the full story. What is going on with our lack of intensity at times and why can't we keep a clean sheet? Also, Arsenal are going to win the league, so, get ready for that. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Spurs leave the London Stadium with a point after a tense match with rivals West Ham. Ange Postecoglou's men couldn't capitalise on their early lead, and struggled to grasp any real control in the match that potentially dents their Champions League ambitions even further.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Spurs bounce back after the international break by taking all three points at home to Luton town. Goals courtesy of OG and Sonny, see Ange Postecoglou's men jump into the top four, even if only temporarily. It was a hard fought game, and one that Luton might feel a bit hard done by on.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In their biggest game of the season, Aston Villa crumbled under the weight of expectation, with Spurs routing them 4-0 at Villa Park. Goals from Son Heung-min, James Maddison, Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner ensured Tottenham left the midlands with all three points on their hunt for Champions League football.

Ange Postecoglou's man fought until the end to take all three points against a plucky Brighton side.

We drew with Everton! Ange out! Vicario out! etc etc A frustrating game, but we're still in a good place, and Jack tries his best to convey this through his cold. Should goalies be tougher or is it just cheating? Is Hojbjerg to blame for everything (yes)? Has Postecoglou been found out? Only time will tell.
