• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

    Inevitable, really. Owners should really be competence tested before they're allowed to buy football clubs. We've certainly had our share of incompetent asshats.

    Sheehan On Borrowed Time?

    Completely agree. We need to get back to basics -- like getting the ball forward and into the opposition goal! Sheehan must surely see this!

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 0 QPR 1 | Att: 14,254 | 22/10 | The EFL Championship | Swansea.com

    The international breaks straight after the transfer window have severely hindered progress, massively. However, we all saw that Sheehan had the formula nearly there! The team were playing to win, with confidence. Now it's just flat and frustrating! I'm not on the 'Sheehan out!' bandwagon...

    I'll just assume the whole team is still, mentally at least, still on international duty...

    I miss this era, immensely.

    We need to see this ruthlessness again in the team. A fearlessness. A brilliance.... Constantly forward, attacking play. I feel optimistic that we can achieve great things with the team we have today. However, we need to see much improved physicality and an opportunistic, predatory mindset...

    I miss this era, immensely.

    Great video here. Shows what the club could achieve and what we should be targeting, again. Michu was clearly our black sheep scoring machine, but the team as a whole under Laudrup, were a much more attacking, opportunistic force to be reckoned with. It's still hard to believe we had him for...

    I think he's intentionally misconstruing what were saying...

    Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee

    You're clearly confused, friend. Re-read my post where I said there will always be some who want to vent. This could happen to anyone, retail staff, hairdressers, cleaners... If someone is having bad day since week takes it out on everyone - referees included.

    Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee

    No. You're conflating. What I said was, off supporters can see the referees officiating well then the reasons for abuse go down. It's simple cause and effect. I didn't say you would see it end completely - many people like to vent, of course. However, if you give someone less reason to believe...

    Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee

    Get competent referees into the game and you'll see the rate of abuse they receive go down. Sure, the players and supporters of a team being penalized won't be happy but the visible rise of quality will be noticed by everyone, eventually. They'll be seen a lot less as spineless idiots if they...

    Another gutless performance

    I'll just assume there's a 'comprehension' issue here - afterall, I'm using a cellphone to post these comments and I'm certainly no cellphone Shakespeare. Either that or you have a propensity to exaggerate outcomes to better suit your argument. You see, I am calm. It's easier and more...

    Another gutless performance

    Why can't we model a European-esque playstyle? We played more aggressively under Brendan Rodgers and got promoted! Stop conflating what I'm saying... I'm not saying we should play FOR European football... I'm saying we should play fast, flowing, FORWARD ATTACKING football. Stop being so...

    Another gutless performance

    How am I "moaning"? Isn't this a forum?... For dialogue on subjects? We're not always going to agree on everything... I don't expect you to - but let's not pretend it claim I'm "moaning" about a thread I started for the purposes of discussion. I feel we need to be more cutthroat about our...

    "Throwing toys out of the pram"? Or just your perception?

    Another gutless performance

    It seems to be a sad reality here... Criticism, regardless of how constructive it is (or the positive intent behind it) just results in one of three responses here:- 1) Childish name calling and insults by certain cliques. 2) Blanket denial (Everything is just peachy, apparently!). 3) A...

    Another gutless performance

    Agreed. These changes are needed now though if we are to succeed... It will take time to implement this and make it second nature to the squad.

    Another gutless performance

    Who else would love to see the Swans become more ruthless and opportunistic, constantly pushing...? At present there's too much emphasis on keeping the ball, even if it means going backwards and sideways more often. It seems to many here though that pointing this out is being, somewhat...

    Another gutless performance

    If the Swans took their chances in the same way by shooting from distance instead of trying to fight their way into the goal, the results may indeed have been different... It seems ANY criticism ATM is viewed, by some, as an overreaction or "entitlement" instead of constructive suggestions to...

    Another gutless performance

    You haven't noticed that players don't shoot when they could and instead keep passing backwards or holding the ball? Just think, how many times have you thought, "shoooot!" white watching the team? There's too many people here making excuses for a lack of endeavor and courage by the team...
