After the elation of last week, I'm totally gutted this week. We went out of the European Cup with a whimper to Milan. I haven't seen such a spineless display form United for so long. Not one player really fired. Defensive mix-ups cost us the first two goals (well taken by Kaka and Seedorf) and it was inevitable we would conceed a third when we were playing so far up the pitch.

Normally when United have a bad game, there is at least one player who can take the game by the scruff of the neck Scholes and Fletcher came close tonight, but even they looked half-hearted compared to Gatusso and Kaka who just ran the game for Milan.

I hope this isn't a taste of the next few weeks. We need to get back to winning ways on Saturday against City and then sell the title next Wednesday against Chelski.

I'd like to wish Milan all the very best in the Champions League Final. Hopefully, they'll stuff the Scousers out of sight.

With a little luck and a few good signings, we can go two better and win the damn thing next season.
