My 10-point guide to beating Red Swine Flu
I'm in Seattle, and I've been sleepless since Wednesday night. My every waking moment is consumed by an intense, psychotic malaise of uncertainty and fear that has provoked fatigue, cold sweats, muscle aches and nervous coughs.
There's no doubt about it. I've got Manchester United Swine Influenza. Or Red Swine Flu as it's better known.
1. Take out the carrier. Every killer virus has a catalyst and in this case it is the Chief Porker himself, Sir Alex Ferguson. Everything stems from him. My recommendation is to dose his chewing gum with magnesium citrate, the fastest working laxative in the pharmaceutical business.
3. Perhaps the most dangerous of all swine is the Rooney. More compact than normal, with a larger head and shorter legs, it's a very strong, feral beast with limited cerebral mass but extremely dangerous if left to roam. Only way to deal with it is equally savage - I recommend an Alexander Song haymaker tackle in the first minute.
10. When swine are distressed they oink, a persistent moaning sound. United are world-class at this, led by oinker-in-chief Ferdinand. With the oinking comes indiscipline. And the best way to start them oinking is to score an early goal. I suggest this is done by unleashing Van Persie in the direction of the ageing, increasingly suspect, Van der Sar.
