    Hughes Throws them Toys

    Blackburn manager Mark Hughes had a run-in with teenage Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas when the Spanish teenager asked him after a goalless, soul-destroying fifth-round draw at The Emirates: 'Did you really play for Barcelona?'

    Rugged Rovers had battled for a replay from the start and were benefactors of referee Martin Atkinson's generosity in turning down a stonewall Arsenal penalty.

    But boss `Sparky` flew into a fury, gesturing at Fabregas as he went down the tunnel after his sniping remark.

    And the four-times FA Cup winner with Manchester United and Chelsea insisted: 'I thought the boy showed disrespect to somebody who has won a lot more FA Cups than him.'

    Hughes explained: 'He came off the pitch and asked me if I had played for Barcelona and when I said that, yes I did, he said something to the effect of `that wasn't Barcelona football, was it ?'

    Fabregas, a Barcelona fan from a lad, later apologised to Hughes but was frustrated by a 90-minute rearguard action by Rovers which earned a replay at Ewood Park next Wednesday.

    Arsenal now play PSV in Eindhoven in the first leg of their second round Champions League on Tuesday and then Chelsea next Sunday in the Carling Cup final, while Blackburn have the second leg of their UEFA Cup clash with Germany's Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday at Ewood.

    Hughes said: 'I thought our performance merited a good deal of credit. We had six or seven senior players out injured or rested and the last time we came here we lost 6-2.

    'We certainly didn't want that happening again and we did well to restrict a very good Arsenal side to just a few chances. Brad Friedel made some terrific saves at the end but for the most part he was not very busy.

    'We have had nine of our last 11 games away from home and have done really well. It is another game now but we are glad to still be in the hat.'

    Fabregas is a snidely little gob****e. I cant stand him as good as he is at times.

    A proper Arsenal player, a snidey, cheating, whinging ****house.

      Agree Cesc is a ****** as are most of the arse players.
      I think it's a foul, and if the ref gives it. He got to give a penalty. I know it's outside the box, but you see them given that close to the area. So if the ref gives it he's got to give the penalty as it so close to the area. But I think it's a penalty. Robbie Savage 8/11/06

      Are you watching Manchester United? Are you watching Chelsea? This is Liverpool F.C taking over the bloody world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          I think that was quite funny from Cesc, Hughes is a little bit petty telling tales on him to the press.

            Is it a necessity that an Arsenal player makes a tosser of himself each week now? It was Henry last week and Fabregas now.

            Fabregas should have shown him more respect. I’m sure Mark Hughes would tear him to shreds if he got hold of him.

                That wouldn't even be a fight it would be over so quick.



                The Arsenal players' petulance and arrogance comes from the manager down.

                  I'd say from the Chairman down

                      Like him or not you’ve got to admit that he’s achieved a lot in the game and Fabregas should have shown him more respect.

                        He wasn't a great player by a long shot, but regardless of that Fabregas shouldn't have said what he did.

                        If he's such a Barcelona fan then I wonder why he stiffed them to play for Arsenal...?

                          Is the right answer.

                            Cesc Fabregas is a little snotty brat. If it was someone cute and tiny, e.g. like little Nicky Barmby, then perhaps we would maybe have laugh it off in hughies' expense.

                            But I somehow find it hard to respect a mid-40s bloke having brawl-like fit at someone like Fabregas, who is essentially still a teenager; then run off and whine in front of the press about respect and having won 4 winner's medals. To say he's petty is an understatement.

                            Nevertheless, all of you are probably right. But i still can't help but be amused. Am i a bad person?

                              In fairness to Hughes, the reporters/media people at the ground probably witnessed the spat after the game and decided to ask him questions about the incident in the post match interview.
