Frank Unaware He Was Drinking From Arsenal Branded Cup
Thomas Frank said he unknowingly drank from an Arsenal cup left in the changing room, denying any deliberate allegiance amid fan outrage.
- Wednesday, Tottenham boss Thomas Frank was pictured drinking from an Arsenal-branded cup ahead of Spurs' match at Bournemouth, and photos circulated, provoking outrage among some Spurs supporters.
- Because Arsenal were the last visitors, Frank said he did not notice the branding and that taking a cup and espresso before matches is routine at the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth.
- With Tottenham's recent form noted, Frank said it would be 'completely stupid' to knowingly drink from an Arsenal-branded cup amid fan-player tensions and their two wins from the last 12 top-flight games.
- Semenyo's added-time strike ended Bournemouth's 11-match winless run and marked his 10th goal, piling pressure on Thomas Frank as a likely farewell moment.
- Frank pushed back, saying focus should remain on Tottenham Hotspur's direction rather than the cup incident, calling it sad to be asked and urging recognition of the team's hard work.
