yea man, but i dont think he spat la, even the officials didn't see that at.

i hope the cctvs didn't capture anything IF he did spit. for all you know it's actually drool and not spit...
 
But there were pictures of Fabregas going up close with several Hull players and the Assistant Manager.Hopefully he just went there to say some stuff but not the spitting.
