Thomas Frank in huge embarrassing Arsenal blunder Tottenham supporters will struggle to believe

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has endured another brutal moment with Arsenal ahead of the Premier League match against Bournemouth

Thomas Frank has been captured drinking from an Arsenal cup before Tottenham's Premier League clash against Arsenal. The Spurs boss was taking in his surroundings at Vitality Stadium before kick-off with a photo emerging that showed he was taking sips from a cup that had the Gunners' club crest on it.

The 52-year-old, who was appointed Spurs head coach in the summer, has faced a challenging first six months in the job with supporters not overly keen on his tactics.

He also made several interesting team selection decisions and made bizarre comments in his press conferences which have not gone down well at all.

That started almost immediately into his Spurs tenure when he went out of his way to heap praise on Spurs' biggest rivals before facing them in pre-season.

He said: "I think it is a great challenge, besides being our biggest rivals and the first north London derby outside the UK. It is also right now one of the best teams, I must say unfortunately, in the world. We also need to be honest.

“In that way it is going to be a big test, but it is more than a test as against Arsenal it is not only a friendly. Of course it is a game we will do everything we can to win.”

Tottenham won that match but things have regressed significantly since then and his latest blunder on Wednesday evening is unlikely to go down well at all with supporters especially as results on the pitch continue to be disappointing.

The Lilywhites have won just two Premier League games since early November with damaging defeats to Chelsea and Newcastle United arriving prior to that.

Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Liverpool had also beaten Spurs before 2025 concluded. Tottenham are actually on a three-game unbeaten streak following draws with Brentford and Sunderland after beating Crystal Palace.

That run of games looked set to be ending on the south coast however, with the Cherries coming from behind to lead after Mathys Tel's early opener. Evanilson and Eli Junior Kroupi were both on target before half-time with Lucas Bergvall going off injured after the break.

Spurs looked set for a chance to equalise when Micky van de Ven won a penalty but after a VAR review, that decision was overturned. Joao Palhinha later did level the contest with a superb overhead kick.

Spurs' woes were also present last weekend as Mohamed Kudus was withdrawn in the first half of the stalemate at home to Sunderland.

Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie are close to returning from injury, but did not feature in the squad to face Bournemouth. James Maddison meanwhile, is a long-term absentee.
