In the latest Rule the Roost episode, Jack and guest Ben Bowman cut through the noise of the Premier League's international break. They question the emotional relevance of the England team compared to Tottenham.

The hosts tackle the burning issue of too much football, discussing the toll on players and wondering when the authorities will wake up to the strain and potential damage to the sport.

A tense moment in South Korea's World Cup qualifier sparks a discussion on life without Son Heung-min and the current injury crisis at Spurs. Fed up with the same old backup options, Jack and Ben debate the right time to throw in some promising academy players.
