No, it’s not because of H1N1.
It’s because of RONALDO-TRANSFERTITIS; the severe inflammation/hype surrounding Ronaldo’s transfer to Real.

We will definitely miss Ronaldo's awesome hair
Actually a Swine Flu pandemic has just been declared too. Which is, according to CCN, merely the first global pandemic in 40 years (btw can someone please explain to me why SARS didn’t count). But thanks to RONALDO-TRANSFERTITIS, a friggin football transfer is bigger news than a disease that could wipe out humanity (ok fine i’m exaggerating, but it could one day!) spreading uncontrollably throughout the world. He finally decided to move after years of threatening to do so, to the club that was always trying to buy him. What a big surprise.
Yes it’s the sports story of the year, yes it reminds us that Real Madrid are immune to the recession, yes it shows us how ridiculous football transfers are becomming.
BUT IT SHOULD NOT BE THE TOP STORY OF WORLD TODAY ON CNN. NO NO NO.
But truth be told, this is probably not CNN’s fault. It’s Ronaldo’s.
He saw the pandemic declaration and couldn’t stand the fact that he’d be pushed a little further out of the limelight, having just lost the Champions League and with the EPL only starting in August. Opportunistic as always, he also saw Kaka’s move to Real and decided to overshadow that as well.
He’s truly a man whore. Just look at that picture again.
Anyway, there’s no doubting that losing the man whore sucks for Man U. At the end of the day, he was a friggin great player for us and only Gerrard can claim to have won more games single-handedly. He deserves to be called a Old Trafford legend.
Bye bye. We will move on and survive without you eventually.
Unless Ferguson retires.
(Btw i say that we give his number 7 to Nani for now. Hahaha)
