Lilywhite Supremacy
Bains, Stafford-Bloor and Hussey discuss North London Derby glory, Harry Kane, Bentaleb, Mason, Lamela and the rest. James Dutton is a Liverpool fan and Anfield Wrap contributor who came on to speak to us about the upcoming game, Rodgers, and the sharp decline of Gerrard.

One Aaron Lennon
Bains, Hussey and Stafford-Bloor discuss the outgoing Aaron Lennon, the late win against Sheffield United, the convincing win against West Bromwich Albion and the upcoming derby. There's a chat with a couple of Arsenal fans too, unfortunately. Dele Alli is discussed, Assou-Ekotto is forgotten, Kaboul, Capoue and Adebayor are all evaluated.

Done A Cumberbatch
Sirs Hussey, Bains and Stafford-Bloor discuss the various cup games of the recent past and future, as well as the upcoming league fixture against West Brom, their new manager, and a somewhat inevitable loss. Nathan Carr is on to discuss that game, and the second half is what it usually is: a mess. COYS.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Wembley Is Dead
We're officially a threesome, but have unofficially been that way for a while. Hussey, Bains and Stafford-Bloor talk Sunderland, Sheffield United and Leicester, as well as Sean Bean again, television and memories of Naughton. Joe Brewin from FourFourTwo came on to talk Leicester, what we can expect from them this weekend, and what they think of us.

Lady Chatterley's Lover
No guest again this week, far too many other matches to talk about. Raj and Seb start off alone for a bit talking serious football before Jack jumps in out of nowhere as derails the whole thing. We talked Palace away, Burnley replay, Sunderland at home and lots of mentions of Sean Bean too, without ever discussing the Sheffield United semi-final approaching.

Jack speaks to Matt Harrison about Swansea for a bit, and the lads end the show in a bit of a weird downer.

Hull is previewed with Seb Stafford-Bloor of Premier League Owl fame, as is the seminal Sky One football drama/soap Dream Team and plenty of rugby, too.

Could Pardew Outthink A Cheese Roll?
Fresh off the back of another Manchester mauling, we lament on the glimmers of hope in an otherwise horrible result at the Etihad. Is Soldado awful? Is Mason the second coming of Hoddle? Should we sack Pochettino already? All this will be answered, as well as a brief look ahead to our Europa League midweek fixture. We welcome back our old pal Taylor, one half of Taylor and Besty, to chat Newcastle, namely their money fixated owners that hire cockney wideboy managers, sell their best players and replace them with mediocre talent.

Discrimination In Football Special
Discrimination in football is an ugly truth. Whether or not your choose to accept or acknowledge its existence, it’s there, and it needs to be tackled head on. Inclusion in football, no matter the club, is something we’re extremely passionate about, and rather than spend time discussing the matter between ourselves, we decided to discuss the matter openly with some special guests. Branching out and using a professional recording studio to conduct the interviews, we spoke to the following people: Troy Townsend - Education and Development Manager for KickItOut. Louise Englefield - Director of Football Vs Homophobia. Anwar Uddin - Diversity and Campaigns Manager for the Football Supporters’ Federation. Simon Kuper - Financial Times Journalist and author. We asked no leading questions, and we advised our guests of no prior agendas. What you hear is exactly what we asked, unedited and honest. Thank you to each and every one of them for taking part. Together, we can make football a more welcome environment for everybody involved.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Game Of Bones
This week, we've found a pornographic parody of Game Of Thrones - imaginatively titled Game Of Bones - that naturally takes precedent. We discuss beating Fulham a little bit, too. Eriksen is good, Sandro is funny and Sherwood is still a laughing stock. We discuss who might come in to manage the side this summer, and take in to account recent developments at Manchester United. Because he's done the past two opposition interviews alone, Bains does a Lamela and doesn't show for this weeks, leaving Jack to discuss footballing giants Stoke City alone, so I think that makes us even.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Liverpool discussed, odd Jack inspired unplanned book club mentioned and Luis Suarez not called a racist, so we'll do that here instead. Tunnel slouching, Vertonghen and Lloris leaving, Barça ban effects on Tottenham all looked at also. Sunderland soon, so we had Gareth from Wise Men Say back on, who given where his club are and how they're playing, was probably more downcast and depressed then we are, which is really fucking saying something.

Liverpool fans are on again and Bains makes things awkward in record time. He literally has no regrets.Things, as they seem to have been more and more recently, get a bit depressing towards the end.

We talked about their players, manager and likelihood to win the league. We didn't question their morals as much though, sadly. Freddie gave us a painful story about Jermaine Jenas stealing his university girlfriend with 50" televisions and we mention a manager of a certain formerly Woolwich based club in the same sentence as Operation Yew Tree more times than is advisable. We had a breakdown about modern football to ourselves, discussed the Karl Pilkington iTunes review, talked about Jack's 30th birthday and the message he left on Raj's answerphone at 3am one morning pretending to be irate Northerner 'Barry' - althewhile forgetting about the miracle of caller ID.Long and enjoyable this (that's what she said).Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

We regrouped and actually had a decent discussion about the games, if you were maybe worried, but we'd rather have found a corner to gently sob and rock in.

Manchester City come to Tottenham next, and with that we welcomed back Rob from TypicalCity with open arms, this time accompanied by his mate and fellow blogger Alex, who evened up the numbers.

In our second episode in as many days, and quite possibly, although not entirely confirmed, last before the New Year, we responded to some Redknapp talk from feedback received regarding the Villas-Boas special. We also had a word on Sherwood and his first public interview since the announcement was made yesterday. There was also a short preview of West-Ham in the cup. Moving back to some form of Rule The Roost normality though, we spoke to Southampton fan and owner of the SaintsWeb, Steve Grant. Brushing off any and all jealousy toward their flourishing season and apparent stability, we asked about their youth system, Marcelo Bielsa inspired coach and how scared they were of us now given the circumstances. We bottled asking which players wives Alan Pardew *allegedly* slept with though, unfortunately.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

A few hasty text messages later, it was decided that André Villas-Boas deserved his own dedicated show. After a season and a quarter at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur, the undeniably handsome manager was given his marching orders, leaving the majority of Spurs fans unsure what to make of it. In a roundtable of distinctly down and baffled fans, ESPN and Bleacher Report writer Dan Fitch and voice of the people Danny McAvoy joined hosts Jack and Raj to try and make sense of the days events. Waving a teary goodbye and evaluating his tenure at the club, as well as assessing the rumoured replacements, this one is for you, Luís André de Pina Cabral e Villas-Boas.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Brenton Rodgers
Back in the hosting chair, Jack Hussey rejoined Raj Bains on this weeks show, making sure the audio equivalent of Ledley King (Bains) and Michael Dawson (Hussey) were back together again. They started by celebrating a good week for the club and three points against Sunderland, before turning their attention to Anji on Thursday and Liverpool on Sunday. With nobody in Dagestan willing to talk to us - we presume - we skipped ahead to Liverpool and spoke to Social Media godzilla Michael Sinnerton, who currently helps control Nike's online presence. We asked about the in form striker currently injured and the inform striker on loan from The Klan, as well as discussing a few pearls of wisdom from real life comic creation Brenton Rodgers.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Yorkshire Host
Stepping in to the hosting chair in the absence of Tottenham's Keith Chegwin, Raj and the SpursStatMan himself Jack look back on the Fulham game and make sure to point out that they're 100% not the same person with some form of mental illness. Joined by Sunderland fan Gareth, of Wise Men Say Podcast, we preview the upcoming game at the Stadium Of Light and find out more about the Premier League's current soap opera side. New manager, new players, new internal structure, new dawn? We find out just how seriously we should be taking The Black Cats and former Tottenham favourite Gus Poyet.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.

Tottenham Rejects
Kicking off a double-bill of episodes this week as we do our best to combat the Premier League fixture congestion, we try and put to bed the Manchester United result as emphatically as André Villas-Boas did the press agenda against him, which was also discussed. Russ Goldman from Cottage Talk Podcast was our Fulham fan of choice to join us as we collectively conducted a candle lit vigil for the legendary Martin Jol after his recent sacking, although Fulham actually had the good grace to wait until the match had finished. Also on the agenda was their new boss René Meulensteen and reports on Tottenham rejects Berbatov, Parker, Bent and Taarabt.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.
