Have Spurs Found Their New Dembélé & Wanyama? | Bossing Chelsea, Tel's Magic & De Zerbi's Vibes
Rule The Roost - A Tottenham Hotspur PodcastShow Notes
Jack is joined by a jubilant Lara to bask in the glory of Tottenham Hotspur ending their Stamford Bridge hoodoo with an utterly dominant away victory over Chelsea.
We kick things off by asking if this was one of the greatest away performances in Spurs' modern history—not a smash-and-grab fluke, but a composed, mature display where Tottenham completely bossed possession and kept a historic clean sheet. We discuss why this statement win feels like Roberto De Zerbi's equivalent of Mauricio Pochettino's famous turning-point victory at Aston Villa, and how a frank pre-Man United team meeting and the recent Marbella bonding trip have visibly shifted the squad's mentality.
Attention then turns to our new midfield engine room. After weeks of crying out to see Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes start alongside one another, the duo delivered an absolute masterclass. We ask whether we have finally found a double pivot to rival the peak Mousa Dembélé and Victor Wanyama era, and why Fernandes is already showing shades of Luka Modrić in a Lillywhite shirt.
We also celebrate Mathys Tel's sensational, Sonny-esque individual strike and argue why the 21-year-old has earned an extended run in the starting eleven, alongside praising Archie Gray's maturity out of position. Plus, we laugh at Cole Palmer completely losing his head (and somehow escaping an earlier straight red card), sweat over James Maddison hobbling off, and debate whether the Lewis family's summer spending has finally banished Tottenham's banter era for good.

Tottenham have gone to Stamford Bridge and absolutely BATTERED the hosts in a totally dominant performance. We'e been building something pretty decent the past few games, but this was truly the icing on the cake - a venue known for being the place where dreams go to die for Tottenham might have truly been the place where this new era began truly flying. Fernandes and Tonali were absolutely dominant in midfield. Mathys Tel with surely his best performance in a Spurs shirt was inspired. What a win! What is De Zerbi cooking here?

Jack is joined by Jon Bass (host of The Big Jon Bass Show) to bask in the glory of Tottenham Hotspur finally securing their first Premier League win of the season against Coventry.
Spurs have won their first game of the season - a worldie from James Maddison on his first start in quite some time sent Spurs on their way. Marmoush popped up with goal as did Ben Davies. There was also the special moment that Dejan Kulusevski stepped back onto the pitch following his injury hell. An eventful match, and one we're all glad ended up the way that it did.
