• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Anyone heard from Luke?

Precisely.

My love has been declining for years.

I do feel sorry for the young guys and gals. I suppose they’ll never know as it’s what they’re used to.

Still a great game but the constant shift away from the fan is sad. You can go all the way back to the Bosman ruling to see the seeds being planted.

I think we’re on same page here.
Young guys and gals? You're turning into Jimmy Savile. You and that other refusnik, magicdaps, are living in cloud cuckoo land. Another few defeats MIGHT wake you up.

Sorry what? What a weird thing to say
 
Genuinely intrigued how someone could say that, why would your brain work like that? You bloody weirdo.

I think he was referencing your use of the term “guys and gals”, which was a Savile trope, rather than anything more sinister. I hope so anyway. But yeah, it’s an odd name to invoke in any context these days let alone this one. Clumsy at best.

Okay, you learn something new and all that. Still find it strange but as you say put it off as clumsy.
 
they’re prepping the softball questions in the media team:

‘So, Luke, I’m sure you’re disappointed with what we saw today, but if we adopt the philosophical position that there is no such thing as free will and everything is pure determinism, we can take comfort that there was nothing anyone could have done about it?

‘Right, Coach Grimes tells me the players are devastated, but if that’s what the Big Bang determined would happen today, we just have to take it on the chin and see what it has in store next time out’

‘Thanks, Luke’
Yes - pathetic
 
Spot on.

Apart from Bristol City away, I can't tell you the next game I'm thinking of going to.

Giving up my season ticket has been a blessing in disguise.
I’ve booked tickets for Norwich next weekend. And I’m doing Dry January. At least the Ghost Ship 0.4 is pretty decent.

Fair play to your commitment, I admire your commitment to the club.

Have you tried the Guinness 0.0? It's not bad if you are looking for a non alcoholic alternative.

I haven’t, although I hear it is very good - thanks for the recommendation. This week I am mostly enjoying Clausthaler Dry Hopped, which is a superb 0.5. I also have some Days’ in the fridge, which I also rate (although after the Clausthaler they are starting to taste a bit thin).

Now then now then
 
Blimey, what on earth's happening to some of our so-called fans nowadays ?

Far too many Victor and Victoria Meldrews bleating, moaning, harking back. All shouty and out loud on the world wide web. So not the good look.
 
Joe Allen interim till May. At least his heart will be in it. Quality time then to look for a successor. Get rid of deadwood behind scenes too. We just can't continue with his ineptitude. Joe may try some youth as that's where he came from.
