Frank at Spurs crisis point - but has he been doomed from start?

Spurs head coach Thomas Frank was caught unwittingly drinking from an Arsenal-branded cup before the loss at Bournemouth.

The sight of Tottenham Hotspur head coach Thomas Frank drinking from an Arsenal-branded cup was a meaningless mishap - but only added to the sense his tenure is turning into an unhappy accident.

Frank was correct to dismiss the nonsensical notion it was done knowingly, except that the incident was revealed after another damaging defeat at Bournemouth that ended in more toxicity involving Spurs fans and players, prompting more questions about the Dane's perceived lack of authority.

In his current position, Frank could do without the predictable mockery that followed from Arsenal fans, who deluged social media with photoshopped images of the Dane lounging in Gunners pyjamas on a red and white duvet.

The Bournemouth loss was then followed by an Instagram outburst from captain Cristian Romero in which he appeared to accuse the club's hierarchy of telling "lies" in a post that was later edited.
