By the book

So what'll it be?

Given that he's bound to pick up a caution over the next few games would you rather he gets booked against Man United, thereby missing the Hull game, or get booked against Hull and miss the derby?

Going on recent performances I'm not really sure.

He is one of our big players, in both stature and price tag, but his performances of late have been lethargic to say the least.

And that's something we can ill afford going into the derby as, as rubbish as they clearly are, they showed against Man United that they can raise themselves for the big game.

Then again, the derby is our cup final and not their's or so they'd have you believe!

And, funnily enough, the Belgian picked up a booking against Hull last year that kept him out of both encounters with the web-toed freaks from across the park last year!

So which will Fellaini miss?

And is anyone really that bothered

Of course, the point could be moot as he may not pick up a booking in either game....
