Spurs news: Thomas Frank lifts lid on Tottenham squad meeting as fan boos continue | OneFootball

Supporters have grown frustrated with dismal home form

Only Southampton, Manchester United and Burnley have been beaten on home soil in 2025, with the most recent of those coming in August.

Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence both walked straight down the tunnel after that match due to their frustration with the booing from fans, and Pedro Porro and Guglielmo Vicario are among those to have spoken out about it in recent weeks.

"To make it clear, I'm always a little bit surprised how things can get out from a meeting inside the club," Frank said when asked about the talks.

"That's always a little bit 'hmm, OK' but you guys [the press] are doing a good job because it is not coming out if you guys are not doing a good job, so well done for that. I actually mean that, it is not said ironically.

"We didn't have a meeting about the fans. We had a debrief after the game about the game as we do all the time, and it was pretty evident after that game that it was the first time there was a little bit of talk about the fans and the relationship.

"We had a talk about that, which is natural."

The situation has since got worse, with Vicario targeted during the Fulham match after his huge mistake led to Harry Wilson firing into an empty net from 40 yards out.

The Spurs goalkeeper was booed the next two times he touched the ball and there were then ironic cheers when he cleared the ball into touch later in the half.

Frank claimed after the match that "true fans" would not do that as he criticised the Spurs supporters, comments which he further explained on Monday.

The Spurs boss suggested it was the mock cheering rather than the booing that most disappointed him.

"When I said the 'not true Spurs fan', what I meant by that just to make it clear was the mocking of one of their own players," Frank said.

"He makes a mistake and there is a little bit of booing after that, as I remember it. The next ball he clears and there is like a cheering.

"You can't do that. The opponent can do that, you can't do that as a fan. That's where I would stand by what I said.

"The booing during the game I don't think is helpful, we are all different."
