It’s Thursday Q&A time and The Fighting Cock's Flav returns for a fun packed episode. Opening with that emotional farewell from Sonny, what does it mean for the team, the dressing room, and Spurs’ identity moving forward? Has some of the star factor gone with him? Then it’s onto the transfer window. Another frustrating summer? Maybe. But is it just the usual Levy cycle or are we all guilty of forgetting just how much has already been spent? Plus, Flav fields your questions, including: – Would he rather swim with sharks or eat a fermented one? – Which Sonny goal does he wish he’d scored and how would he celebrate it? – And... has he finally sent out those Patreon badges? New theme music is Ghost Cat by Gillen, and you might’ve spotted the fresh new podcast art too. As always, like, subscribe, share, and drop us a review etc. It all helps.

After nearly a decade of brilliance, Son Heung-min has officially announced his departure from Tottenham Hotspur. Jack is joined by Gavin to pay tribute to one of the greatest players to ever wear the lilywhite shirt. We revisit the emotional farewell in Seoul and reflect on the unforgettable highs of his Spurs career. From that solo goal against Burnley and running past half the Chelsea team at Wembley, to lifting the Europa League as club captain. We also dive into his iconic partnership with Harry Kane, the records they smashed, and the legacy they leave behind. Plus, we read your favourite Son memories and stories, an overwhelming outpouring of love for one of the all-time Spurs greats.

Here's a peak behind curtain on some of the exclusive content you can get over at patreon.com/rtrpod with the first episode of this nostalgia-soaked series You Had To Be There. These episodes are all about those matches that live on in the collective psyche of THFC. Each week I speak to a different guest about one of their favourite games, the memories, the feelings, the context and usually the limbs. In Episode 1, friend of the show Tom Foins joins Jack to relive that unforgettable night in 2010 when Gareth Bale absolutely ruined Maicon, Spurs were in dreamland playing one of Europe's biggest off the park. One of those moments where we truly stood up and reminded everyone what Tottenham Hotspur were really all about.

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?

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?

Manchester City have finally broken the curse of the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, triumphing 2-0 in their must win fixture in the title race. It was a weird evening for Spurs fans, as they knew that a result for Tottenham would all but hand the title to Arsenal. It was a no win situation, and it has caused countless arguments over the past couple of days. Spurs showed that they could be flexible and play well, but ultimately, it just wasn't enough.

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!

Yes, Ange Postecoglou's Spurs have beaten Nottingham Forest to move back into the top four in the Premier League, leapfrogging Aston Villa.

Jack reacts to Tottenham's exit from the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester City in what was a pretty weird game. Felt like Spurs never really got going, which is unlike your typical Ange Postecoglou team performance. Manchester City are of course the treble winners and are managed by Pep Guardiola, but is it wrong to have hoped that we might have given a little bit more to this one? Several players just weren't at it, and despite holding them off for long periods, we didn't create enough of our own opportunities. Timo Werner was crying out for service, but Dejan Kulusevski just couldn't get the ball to him. The biggest talking point has to be City's winner, which was a clear foul on the goalkeeper Vicario.
