RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: It's a little past 7pm‚ New Year's Day‚ and kick-off is an hour away at
Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium. Lights inside the busy tunnel have been dimmed to a moody shade of red and
Thomas Frank has spotted a familiar face. The
Tottenham bus had pulled in 55 minutes earlier but it's only now that their manager has clapped eyes on the guy who replaced him in these parts. 'Just let me slide through here a moment‚ I'll be right back‚' says
Frank‚ as he pauses the pre-match interview he was doing with
Tottenham's in-house media team. Keith
Andrews‚ chatting through an identical routine across the corridor‚ has the same idea.
