The set-to Hughes referred to came in 2007 after an FA Cup tie between the Blackburn side he was managing at the time and Fabregas Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, a turgid 0-0 draw. Fabregas was said to have made a comment to Hughes at the final whistle questioning how a former Barcelona player could employ such negative tactics in a game but, having been initially outraged, Hughes was then impressed that Fabregas apologised to him for the run- in. Recalling the incident, Hughes said: I dont think I had any strikers, so I just parked the bus basically. He wasnt happy, but he actually hung around until after I had done all my press to apologise, which showed class.
