Jan Molby is a player that I have a lot of time for. The Danish footballer was a maestro in
midfield. While he's best remembered as being a pivotal player for Liverpool during his time there
between 1984 and 1996, he has a special place in my heart for being a pioneer with the club I
support, Swansea City, where he introduced a beautiful style of play as player manager which laid
the groundwork for Roberto Martinez's arrival, much later, in 2007.

Last week, I posted a tweet that if I was reborn, I would become a Tottenham Hotspur supporter
simply because of The Spurs Show podcast. And I meant it. Most of the readers here know me
as a Swansea City supporter, but there's something completely endearing, refreshing, honest and
depressing about being a regular listener to The Spurs Show that makes me feel closer to
the pain one must feel supporting THFC.

summer loan spell at the club. The attacking midfielder, who is hoping to break into the first team
of the Premier League club this season, made a very positive impression on Finnish football,
scoring an impressive six goals in 19 [.

It's the gash that keeps on gushing, so it seems. Last Wednesday -- despite all the this one
matters only for them and not us placebos given -- managed to hurt, well...like a motherfucker,
truthfully. It's Mexico, after all. So deep had the wounds felt, they managed to suffocate an
altogether joyous announcement, and perhaps too what would have been a modest sedative.

until November. Whitbread refused a contract extension with Millwall, who have been actively

After the heartbreak of relegation; after a summer of uncertainty; after all the pessimism,
anger and frustration; after all of this, the run up to the Sheffield United game brought one thing
back. It brought back anticipation. It brought back that tingle of excitement. It brought back that
sensation of the hairs standing up on the back of your neck.

Roberto Martinez had a reputation for attacking football during his time with
Swansea City, but may look towards a pressing formation to kick-start the Premier
League for Wigan Athletic.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have the pressing issue of handing the armband to a
capable player, and Stiliyan Petrov appears to be in pole position to bear the burden of being the
leader.

become a supporter of that club?

There's something beautiful about a football shirt. It's not just the fabric, how it looks on
you or what it represents. To me, it means so much more. It's all about memories.
When you wear a new one for the first time, such as any of the new football shirts for the
2009-2010 Premier League season, it's all about the material and the identity of your club.

In the absence of any meaningful football this summer (excluding a nod to the U21s) we'll focus
on the endless transfer sagas in the Premiership and beyond (don't forget Simon Cox). So far Garry
Barry has defected, without European football, to Man City - and Madrid have splashed out on
Kaka.
