Can Hiddink park the bus for 85 minutes ?

Looks like he may not need to!

My missus is plump and just went upstairs to bed singing blue is the colour.

Plenty of support for mourinho. Banners calling certain players "rats" (Cesc, Hazard and Costa). Certain players names being booed when the teams were announced...heard Costa being booed but the commentator talked over so couldn't work out the other players booed...anybody know which players?

City have all agreed with Pep but NOT SIGNED anything. That's why Roman is trying so hard to get him. City think he won't change his mind

[Chicog]

You don't think United have a bid in then?

That Spanish waster off Sky hasn't got a clue.

The only reason Sky have him on is that they haven't got anyone else that can translate Marca.

Pep has stated before that he would like to manage united one day, but I think we are out this time will be either city or Chelsea, can see him at Chelsea due to the bright lights of London an attraction for his wife.

If he does go to Chelsea, he might have to earn his wages for the first time in his managerial life. I've yet to be convinced by him.

I think Diego Simeone is nailed on for the Chelsea job.

I'm far from convinced he'll take it if offered. But as we all know money doesn't talk...it screams.

But my bet is that he'll turn it down. He has a great situation at Atletico Madrid. It wouldn't surprise me if he stays with A. Madrid for years and then eases into the Argentina NT position. He'll be the Argentina manager somewhere down the line, just a matter of time.

With Ancelotti and Klopp spoken for, Pep looking likely for City, Mourinho pushing for the United job, i think its the obvious choice.

Then there Claudio Ranieri of course!!

Depends on the morals of the individual, if you worked under Abramovitch and then sacked by him, would you want to work with him again?

Maybe, if his money was the only objective, but it would have to be a significant amount like triple

of what it was before.

I also don't think Simeone would leave Athletico, i think he's recently signed a new contract there

too.

I recently read where Simeone wouldn't even consider Chelsea unless he had control of transfers. That sounds like Simeone and for good reason. He's done a tremendous job bringing in young talent and molding them. The many talented players they've lost over the past several years have hardly dented them.

On a barely related note, ex-A. Madrid midfielder Arda Turan will be eligible to suit up for Barca come January. And you thought they were tough meat before. A beast added to the Barca finesse game.

Claudio's great, but he would be mad to come to Chelsea with the dressing room full of all those oversized egos. Leave him be at Leicester.

Hiddink made me laugh when he said that he expects all the players to give 100% but if they have a problem please, knock on my door and we can talk.....briefly. Go get 'em Guus.

I had to watch the game on a silly laptop via youtube, being I was ensconced in the back of beyond. Never again as it conked out ten minutes before the end, which was fortunate in some respects because, if I had seen Oscar's penalty miss live, I would have had to shell out for a new laptop for the wife's niece. A game of fits and starts for the team with limp defending contributing to their second goal, followed by some of the best football we've played all season leading up to our equaliser.

I thought it was a bit harsh the fans giving Hazard some 'jib' when he came on, as I didn't single him out as a non trier during Mourinho's time. Yes he wasn't at his best, but that was mainly due to doing a double shift to compensate for the sloths in midfield and full back. How would anyone feel when you know that there are other team mates who are not putting it all in and you are having to pull your b******s out to cover? Your confidence would take a nose dive, especially if the manager is in your face half the time.

[Bredbury Blue]

Your 1st sentence reminds me of the final week of City's (Pellegrini's) Premier win, travelling up north in Mae Sot and Mae Hong Son for our wins at Everton and Palace (both away), lying in the hotel bed while the family slept, pressing refresh for the BBC, Guardian and Telegraph live reports every few seconds continously for 90 minutes...hell, but with a happy ending.

Irony..Og... All i saw was the last ten minutes.............and the noise i made at Oscar,s penalty attempt made my Father -in-laws Chicken fall out of the Jasmine tree he was nesting in.........some 20ft up i may add. Usa goals kept telling me site not allowed...Doofootball just 3 white flickering dots and the odd bit of live footage for no more than a minute.....no commentary at all on the Chelsea fc website........ then in the 82nd minute Doofootball decided it had put me through enough and let me watch what was left. So nothing i can add on last nights game another than nothing has changed.......via team selection that is. Personally i would drop Terry for the Man u game and bring back Zouma.......if Gus does that and then makes Ivan Captain............then nothing other than some players putting in a bit more effort will have changed at all.

Swansea get a draw at Palace

Norwich beat Villa at home

Newcastle win at West Brom

Chelsea get beaten by 2 goals at United and there in the bottom 3.

No Bob. It would be a very rare occasion I would ever want United to win and this isn't one of them.
