Man City boss Hughes: Bellamy mouthy, but no cheat

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes insists there's nothing wrong with Craig Bellamy.

After his dismissal in the draw with Bolton Wanderers, Hughes defended his frontman, admitting that, while he might remain a bit mouthy, he is no cheat.

Sparky said: "He'll moan and groan but that's part of his make-up and people should know that now and not take offence. We don't!

"Craig's not going to change. I've not seen him dive. It's not in his make-up.

"He'd rather get past someone and cross and create things. That's his motivation to affect the game in this way. I've never seen cheating in his game."
