Jack unpacks Tottenham’s tense but vital 1-0 win away at Eintracht Frankfurt - a result that books Spurs a place in the Europa League semi-finals and maybe, just maybe, marks a turning point for Ange Postecoglou and his squad.Amazing character the lads showed on the night, Solanke’s calm from the spot, a backline that finally looked like it had a bit of steel to it and yes, Ange. I’ve said my fair share about him in recent weeks, and after that performance, it might be time for a bit of a rethink… possibly even an apology.Like, subscribe, validate me - please...Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Tottenham have just lost 4-2 to Wolves, their 17th league defeat of the season and now sit 15th in the Premier League table. In any other season, this kind of form could potentially have them in the thick of a relegation battle. Shocking stuff for a club of this size, and for a side that’s never been relegated from the Premier League.Jack is joined by screenwriter Charlie Brafman to make sense of the chaos. A long-time admirer of Ange Postecoglou, Charlie offers his take on why we should have some compassion when discussing the Aussie manager and whether there's any world he could stay or if the rot has gone too deep.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Full-time at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and it ends 1-1 in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final. A frustrating night for Spurs with plenty of possession, some real moments of quality, but no killer blow.Pedro Porro’s audacious backheel cancelled out an early Frankfurt opener, and while Maddison tried his best to pull the strings and Bergvall rattled the bar, it just wasn’t quite enough to take a lead to Germany.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.

Jack welcomes Phil back to the show to go over last night again, and to look ahead at where Spurs go from here. Ange Postecoglou has once again found himself in a weird spot with the fans – or maybe not, depending on who you ask.He’s claiming there’s no issue, but his comments in today’s pre-Southampton presser suggest otherwise, with talk of falling out of love with football because of VAR. Is this really the message we want to be hearing from the manager? Is something deeper going on?We get into the increasingly toxic atmosphere around the club, what it says about the direction we're heading in, and whether it's time to start moving on from the “NameBall” era of managers. Is it too much to ask for someone who’s simply flexible and willing to work with the players at his disposal?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost. Hosted on Acast.
