Mark Hughes and Robbie Keane know exactly what they're up against
Craig Bellamy's bravery in tackling a pitch invader has been completely overlooked by most media outlets this morning, who have instead focused on the so-called "facts" about said invader being: a) pinned the ground by four stewards b) at least 20 metres away from Bellamy. Manchester's finest are now on the case.

DAYLIGHT ROBB-ERY
Not since Joe Pasquale doorstepped the Butlins entertainment manager has anyone screamed "Book me! Book me!" quite so manically.
But you can see why Robbie Keane was livid.
Like most of us, Keane thought Howard Webb had two decisions yesterday. It was either a foul or a dive. Black or white. Heads or tails. Kiss me or kill me.
But Webb chose neither. Instead, like the chap from Butlins, he chose to completely ignore the squeaking irritant in front of him and went about his day.
Richard Keys (who should also be ignored at all costs) attempted to get to the bottom of the matter in the Sky studio, asking Glenn Hoddle: "Should the referee be able to hear a contact like that?"
Unfortunately, all the Bung could hear after Keys' question was the sound of a pint glass smashing into a TV screen, so we're unable to give you Glenn's reply.
The Sky boys also failed to do justice to the Manchester derby, ignoring, as they did, Alan Wiley's excited touchline giggle with Sir Alex Ferguson.
Wiley, whose status as an "avid Manchester United fan" has now been removed from his Wikipedia page, was seen discussing with Ferguson the strange time/space vacuum which exists in the M16 area. Quite why Wiley – the timekeeper on the day – was so amused is anyone's guess. But you can certainly see why Sparky wasn't laughing.
