• 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

    SHEEHAN SACKED

    Reading it the same way as you. They're clearly optimistic about filling the job during the international window. If they are the kind of people that we think (maybe just hope) that they are then they should have a selection of alternatives available for every meaningful position at the club...

    Poll, Sheehan In/Out/More Time

    Your insistence that you somehow "could see it a mile off" would be a lot more believable if past experience hadn't tought me that you are precisely the kind of chap who insisted to the end that Russell Martin just hadn't been backed enough.

    Poll, Sheehan In/Out/More Time

    He wanted to play with three central midfielders and no #10. That was duller to watch than a Rugby game so he's had to change it. Of the two I think Eom is perhaps better suited to playing as a #10, but I'd take Widell at a push. Widell to me seems like a Ntcham type player. A charging #8...

    Sheehan VS O'Dea?

    I don't think anyone really knows what KOL does, which doesn't stop people grumping about him. For all we know he does as much around the place as Curt did, but with more flak. I might be being harsh but he is damned by association. We can't keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting...

    Sheehan VS O'Dea?

    I'm veering towards a "Clear the lot of them out" approach. Maybe foolishly when it comes to Margetson, but a completely fresh approach probably wouldn't hurt us. That does depend on a club management willing to look past the kind of bullshit artists who will sell them on the idea of instilling...

    Poll, Sheehan In/Out/More Time

    When you lose the crowd to the extent he appears to have done then in most cases it's all over bar the shouting. The atmosphere at the final whistle yesterday was downright ugly. I'd regret it but it's probably time to pull the plug. As much as I want him to do well the results simply haven't...

    Tom Gorringe - The Business of Sport

    What would be more beneficial? Knowing that we've always got a place to play or having to decamp to Parc Y Sgarlets because of dodgy ownership? There are pros and cons to most angles in this.

    Tom Gorringe - The Business of Sport

    Infrastructure investments aren't counted towards PSR so yes, potentially we wouldn't have to make "rent" payments to the council any more. Having the ground not owned by the club does offer us a certain protection however and the prospect of that no longer being the case should be treated with...

    Well worth an hour or so of anyone's time. Some really interesting stuff in here.

    Are we doing OK or underachieving?

    Bang on. Performances like we're seeing now got Williams linked with the WBA job.

    Our League form

    If anything this season is a bit of a repeat of the last campaign at basically the same stage. We're not doing horrendously, but the players we have are capable of more than we're seeing. The main difference is that the people who defended Lukey for it last season are criticising Sheehan now.

    Are we doing OK or underachieving?

    Exactly this, and it's been obvious for a couple of months.

    Our League form

    There are still people who will romanticise the kind of football that we played under Martin and Williams. Forget the fact that we were terminally dull to watch under both. Forget the fact that defensively we were leakier than the Titanic. They upheld "The Swansea Way", even if our passing stats...

    Our League form

    We just need to understand that Widell should start most games from here on in (I get why he didn't start today after the work he put in on Wed). We simply cannot go without a creative option in midfield. I'd also be playing Inoussa ahead of Ronald.

    Deathrow records collab announced.

    I suspect quite a few people balking at paying £90 for what seems to be a fairly decent quality hoodie were falling over themselves to pay £40+ for a polyester replica shirt when they came out.

    Vipotnik- even better than we think he is?

    Paterson did well for us overall, and might have done even better if he hadn't been working for Russy. That's even more so the case for Ntcham, who was potentially one of the best central midfielders in the division yet consistently found himself playing wide on the left. It may well be the...

    Vipotnik- even better than we think he is?

    He's far from the first, but this season he has been a salutary lesson in the dangers of writing a player off too soon, and far too many people did. Even last season he had something like a goal every three starts yet faced much of the same type of criticism that Idah is now. There was always a...

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | Swansea City 1 Man City 3 | 20,490 | Carabao Cup 4th Round | 29/10/25 | The Swansea.com Stadium

    As trendy as it is to bash Fulton I thought he was by far the best of those four. That charge back and tackle that he did got a grand reaction. He didn't disgrace himself IMO. The game was shifting in their favour by that point. Maybe we aided the process by making those changes but I wouldn't...

    Luke Williams - Peterborough United Manager

    Always struck me as "Diet Russy" to be honest. Quick with the easy PR wins but a different side on display when challenged, and the whole WBA situation reflects very poorly on his character. His last two non-Notts County jobs outside non-league have both ended in the sack. He'll have to show a...

    Wilfried Bony: The £28m Boomerang Between SA1 and the Etihad

    Great, but for me better playing off someone. Or support striker. Bony I'd cheerfully play up top on his own.
