Derby boss Jewell: I might duck Man Utd game!

Derby County boss Paul Jewell admits he doesn't fancy facing Manchester United this weekend after last night's 6-1 mauling by Chelsea.

He said: "We were outclassed and outfought by a terrific Chelsea team. It was like the world heavyweight champion against an amateur lightweight.

"They did everything better than us. With 20 minutes to go I would have settled for six and of course it hurts when I'm sitting there squirming in my seat.

"The end of the season can't come quickly enough for us and the one consolation is that we have one less game to play.

"But now we've got Manchester United next up on Saturday. I might not even turn up for that one!"
