He was asked about the cup in the press conference

I definitely did not notice it. It would be completely stupid of me to take it if I knew.

It's a little bit sad in football that I need to be asked about it. I would never do something that stupid.

Genuinely can see it as an innocent mistake, blindly picked up a cup because he wanted a drink, it's not something I'm getting in a state about

It's just another own goal for Frank, it just illustrates how it's gone for him
 
Drinking from an Woolwich cup was done on purpose. Mugging us off. It makes no sense that there are fans that hate pochettino, a man that genuinely loved and cared for this club and gave years of blood sweat and tears,

Only to have these no mark coaches like Ange and Frank openly berate, mock and square up to our fans. But it’s all okay because they play the latest hipster tactics everyones raving about on Twitter.
 
Frank out for sure but this comment from the BBC comments captures it perfectly for me:

Spurs have one of the worst squads in
the Premier League now. l'm sorry
Spurs fans, but it's undeniable.
Recruitment has been shocking over

the past 2-3 years. £200m spent in
the summer on players who wouldn't
get near the majority of first elevens

in the league. Brand of football is
dull, predictable, directionless, but
that's doubtless because there's no
creativity, nor leaders in the team.


Delete the fucking club

The thing is it's a bit chicken and egg. Yes the squad is generally way off but how he's managing it is making a lot of these individuals looks worse as the collective system he's insisting on is not bringing the best out of them.

Look at how poor Porro has become, even VDV and Romero don't look good in a lot of games.

So instead of being grilled on yet another loss or another mediocre performance it's all about the fucking paper cup.

He's right it is sad that this is the level of questioning these days.

Good work well done. Especially those of you obsessed by it

Why bother grilling him on the performance? His stock response would be that we were unlucky, we need to work harder to fix it, the team we played were hard to beat blah blah. It’s obvious to anyone with eyes whatever he’s doing in training isn’t working but he’ll never express that may as well talk about the cup (it’s symptomatic of his tenure - not realizing)
 
Now the paper cup is a conspiracy to mug us off.

This place is mental sometimes, it really is.

He deserves to be sacked because we're utterly shite but so does our director of football or whatever Lange is.
 
Remember when Levy said spending a lot doesn’t correlate with winning titles…

Woolwich winning the league after spending £B in 4 years.
 
Because they had Woolwich branded cups leftover from their last game.

Don’t we have cups of our own? Has this happened to any other manager previously? To me it points to a lack of attention to detail but I’ve had it with him prior to this so I’m at the end of the relationship annoyance phase where everything they do is an atrocity

Does anyone know of the approximate cost of Frank's payout? My Villa supporting mate reckons he read £20m, and if that holds any water, could be why he's still here.
