Our form is just terrible. Nothing seems to come easy and we're letting everyone come have a go at us. Once again we've found it difficult to get our engines warmed up before Porto hit an early goal.

To our credit, despite being completely outplayed in the first half, Rooney managed an equalizer to draw level going into the break.

Thankfully I hardly caught the second half. It's been an exhausting week and I kept drifiting off to sleep while pinching myself to keep awake. It's probably a good thing too considering just how pathetic we've been playing.

The game ended 2-2 and we now have to beat Porto in Portugal. Ferguson has to somehow wake this team up. Since the loss to Liverpool, we've lost our swagger and have been playing absolutely terrible football. The defense in particular has been abysmal. We're letting in all kinds of goals. If we're to win anymore silverware, there needs to be drastic improvement in all departments.
