Rule The Roost

We're back, unchanged and rested. Tottenham, other stuff, nonsense, laughing at each other - you get the picture. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dad's Army take over from Raj this week, who has been out painting the town red. Newcastle reflections. Southampton dread. Pochettino to Chelsea. Cringeworthy Santa impressions. We've got it all.

Let's talk about Tottenham shall we? Well, they drew with West Brom, so we spoke about that. They're going to play Monaco so we spoke about that too. After Monaco they're playing Newcastle, so we spoke about Newcastle with Taylor and Besty from the True Faith Podcast about Newcastle, but mainly random nonsense. We ended the pod by talking about Seb's romantic life, as per. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We discuss Qarabag a bit, Chelsea more, and there's some chat about West Brom, but no guest...because nobody really cares about West Brom, do they? There's listener questions, and chat about why Sir Kevin Sinfield should get your Sports Personality of the Year vote this year. COYS.

West Ham is discussed, Chelsea previewed with Conor Kelly of The Final Third and listener Qs dealt with. Content, content, content. Same on RTR, init. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

WAGWAN?! Still reeling from the marathon that was episode 100, the lads are back to discuss Arsenal, West Ham and school memories...for some strange reason. No guest this week, despite Trunk's best efforts to get Danny Dyer on the show. Anyhow, strap in and prepare yourselves for a rootin' tootin' good time.

Rule The Roost is 100 episodes old, so join us for a celebration. Warning: there's no football. Genuinely no football. Not even tenuously. Thanks to Flav, Roberto Kusabbi, Rob Brown, Taylor and Besty, Sam Diss, Si and Bally, Charlie Parrish, Alex Stewart, Gareth from Wise Men Say, Jack from SpursStatMan, Spooky, Conor Kelly and Musa Okwonga for the intro. Normal service resumed next week. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Bains and SSB go alone this week with Hussey tied up, so Villa is dissected by the pros. Arsenal away is previewed with comedian, podcaster, writer and Gunnerblog creator James McNicholas, and the second half has the odd listener question, the titan's tinder diaries and a bit of an odd breakdown. Same old. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

RTR is back to a full compliment to discuss Anderlecht and Bournemouth away. Sam Tighe is on to discuss the Villa game and Sherwood, while the last part is somewhat Seb-centric. COYS.

Despite deciding upon the pod title being shite whilst recording, we went with it anyway. We talk to Michael Dunne from AFC Bournemouth's All Departments podcast about life in the Premier League and fat footballers. Raj is at a Rugby League match or something else northern so you're left with the egotistical elephant bloke and the Prince of Bath. Donations gladly accepted.

It's an old school show with just Hussey and Bains at the mic, with RTR covering all the old topics we used to back in the glory days. James Dutton is back on to talk Liverpool too. #COYS Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We talk about all sorts and some mentions of football too. We're back to a threesome. Happy Days. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Sadly just Bains and Stafford-Bloor again, but plenty to sift through. Arsenal in the cup, City at our place, Monaco away and a trip to Swansea all covered, as well as some listener questions. COYS.

It's another Bains and Stafford-Bloor duet this week, live and uninterrupted. With two games each to review and preview, we didn't ask a guest on, with plenty to cover ourselves. Lots of serious football chat for once, which was a bit strange. Might be getting mature now as we head toward our 100th episode....COYS.

Bains and Stafford-Bloor are a man light this week, but manage to discuss all sorts of important and unimportant things between them regardless. There's a Palace fan on too, with Matt from Holmesdale Radio previewing the game, and listener questions aplenty. COYS.

We didn't have anyone on from Sunderland. We didn't have anyone on from Huddersfield either. By we, we mean Jack and Seb, who spend most of the episode just rambling aimlessly about stuff.

International break. Transfer deadline day. Raj is moving house. He doesn't start the pod, but jumps in halfway. High drama all round. We answer loads of your questions as well, for once. Listen.

There's all sorts of talk this week, with Lamela, Dier, Berahino, Clinton and the rest all covered. The lads from NSNO are back, so there's mini-takeover from Si and Bally as always, too. COYS.

With Raj at a Huddersfield Town match, he's left the old gits in charge. We basically talk about everything. COYS. Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ruletheroost.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Having already covered Man Utd in depth, the lads turn their attention to Stoke at home, speaking to TeamTalk blogger Mark Holmes about the club, their growth and the way they've changed over recent years. He's ace. We liked him. There's a short Bake Off quiz for Seb, and plenty of jokes about his advancing years. Listener questions too. COYS.
