LET’S BE FRANK: JOSE IS BOG STANDARD

- By JOHN CROSS

THOMAS FRANK FRAA is not fazed by the prospect o of facing Jose Mourinho – bee because the Tottenham boo boss goes to the toilet just like everyone else.

Brentford b boss Frank (above) is relishing thee the task of pitting his wits against M Mourinho in the Carabao Cup semi-final. s

The Dane, 47, 4 said: “Jose has been one of thh the greatest managers of a all time

“It is a privv privilege to play against his hiss team. But both of us want too to win. When they blow the whistle it is just another bloke in the other dugout. I am pretty sure he also goes to the toilet sometimes.”

Frank was at his ironic best when quizzed over his plans to combat the lethal combo of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.

He quipped: “I will look at all the other managers who faced them this season – they only allowed them to score 32 goals and make 22 assists.

“So I will just copy that and we will be fine!”
