• 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

You just had to didn’t you.

We could have lived in minuscule hope for a few more hours 😀
We will sign people today Clive, we always do

The kid from Man City will be one - but we know that our loan moves have been less than successful in the past

We may or may not get O'Brien in from Forest (I would always err caution in anything Alan Nixon says) and we will make some random signing of someone we have never heard of but it will be Portugese and somewhere the words "the new Ronaldo" will be used giving him a free pass for being largely average.

Oh and we will probably sell Harry Darling

the Swansea way
 
It's an absolute joke.

I would even bring the summer of 2017 into things!
A bunch of guys with no intent, never been proactive and have always been reactive with promises and words that have never been backed up.

Am I in with a chance 👍

Interestingly whoever wrote this (I assume it was me but it may not have done) was positive afterwards

My favourite line was "Sam Clucas arrived quickly from Hull and appears to be a good acquisition" - oh how wrong an initial reaction can be !

Oh 🙈

One thing that we have learned, we can never totally judge a signing until they put the shirt on and played enough games to really judge.

That summer was just absolute chaos and panic.

He scored against Arsenal don't you know 😏

So much gallows humour to get us through the next hours 😥
 
The only surprise is that we end up surprised

We paid all that money to Hull for Clucas in the August - yet a month earlier in July, Liverpool paid £8M to Hull for Andrew Robertson. 😂
