Capital One Cup
Even if Michael Laudrup did go, it would not affect Swansea's capital
Swansea City were in the midst of their Capital One Cup celebrations when Michu turned to the man who brought him to the club last summer, Michael Laudrup, and begged him to stick around for European football. By contrast, more seasoned Swansea players were notably phlegmatic about their manager's future. It was not a lack of feeling for the Danish legend – a team effort was required to throw him into the Wembley air after all – but absolute faith in the foundations of the club that shaped their post-cup final version of "Que Sera, Sera". It is not intended for the progress that the chairman, Huw Jenkins, has orchestrated to halt now.

Michu displays cutting edge Fernando Torres is still searching for
It has become popular recently to talk of Swansea City as a club on the crest of a rare generational surge, 10 years on from financial near-collapse but now reaching fresh heights of giddily sustainable achievement on a regular basis. After a controlled, compact and – when the moment came for their goalscorers Michu and Danny Graham – clinical 2-0 Capital One Cup semi-final first leg victory at Stamford Bridge it is perhaps fair to say this is an all-time high for Swansea: ninth in the Premier League and now plausibly 90 minutes from their first Wembley Cup final.
