Is Mark Hughes stirring up storm in teacup?

[reasoner]

I always have respect for Hughes even when he was playing with mu but, complaining about no handshake from Mourinho after some brutal aggression from his team looked like he overreacted. Let's see if Blackburn will play this same kind of football when they meet mu in April, especially so if mu need points badly at that stage. I have my doubts they will play all out just like some other managers lying down when facing afmu, but not when facing Chelsea and Arsenal.

If you're suggesting that Sparky will direct his players to ease up on any opposition, even Man Yoo then you clearly don't understand Mark Hughes. He's only sticking up for his players. I would expect the same of any manager.

The Chelsea manager also criticised Blackburn's tactics in a hard-fought game.

He added: "They felt they couldn't beat us playing football so they tried to beat us in a different way - direct football, first ball, second ball, being nasty and hard and trying to intimidate players.
I can understand Mourinho. Coaches like Hughes are bad for the league.

I said let's see and then we can have a conclusion :)

Hughes was also trying to do his manure mates a favour with these tactics .
anyway ,the guy is a whinger .I remember when he was wales manager he never stopped whinging about various things .He was the one who launched about 4 seperate appeals to get russia kicked out of Euro 2004.
