    Stan Ski,
    Thanks for dropping by my blog to read the static cat haiku. He's a sweet cat, but the static was a surprise. By the way, I can't really tell from what you have above, but did ManchesterU win?

    Phew, Stan, bang up to date and on the money! And an optimistic senryu to boot (pun intended).

    Q. Who leads United out in the forth round of the FA cup?

    A. The captain of Leeds United of course.

    It was a kickabout for Leeds, they knocked Uni-ted out of the FA Cup.

    If you didn't know, City are playing that Stretford mob in the semi-final of the League Cup, the first leg should have been at Eastlands tonight, but was called off because of the snow. Global what??
