• 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

    I will find out the score, and only watch if we win...:D No point wasting time on a loss. I always find post superbowl a very empty time, win or lose. The onset of Football season is also the onset of my favorite time of year. As they clear away the confetti so I stare at the reality that its...

    Last nights awards dont really support my perceived narrative that every thing is anti NEP. Vrable coach of the eyar and Viniteri inducted to HOF. Maye didnt get MVP, nor did he deserve to. He has done great for year 2 player, but he has much room to grow. The whole of Seattle appears to be so...

    I met Groo at Gillingham, (Old JA.net poster who went to live in Canada). 5 hrs on a train there, 3 hrs getting soaked and 5 hrs home all for a 1-0 defeat. They gave us those clingfilm hoodies to wear, which although they were totally useless, I thought was a nice touch.

    Well I will repost what I posted on the Pats forum. I havent seen one expert go fot the pats yet. All the ESPN writers(11) went for Seahawks, 9 CBS writers, every Sky Sport pundit. I have never seen it like this. We are going to need a bigger bulletin board. (They call smack talk, bulletin...

    John Hughes had quite a career after leaving us and was interested in becoming our manager when Roberto scarpered to Weegan. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/8083654.stm

    The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

    Humour me, I just asked a co pilot a question. I have no idea where the result came from. I have no idea how accurate it is but my question was. "How many EFL championship teams made a profit last season?" The answer was sobering. In full:- None of the 24 EFL Championship clubs made an...

    By a process of elimination, I dont think it can be anyone else, but again, this is all conjecture. I would say its 70% likely to be Jimmy.

    Jimmy maybe? I can see a "z" and an "m" "a" and "L" as in Dzemal. Maybe the slavic script for hadziabdic appears different when written. Total guess though.

    Well done for trying. Us fogeys have to stick together. Which autographs in particular are you having trouble with? Do you recognise any? Use your new found skills to "zone in" on any particular signature and we can have a look.

    I always used to trawl the chasmic database on the early Champ Manager/FM games . Even though the majority teams had pages of greyed out players you couldn't buy, Scandanavia was always different.( Similar to someof the non league teams. )There were players available and sometimes they were...

    No luck on the book. However, theres an easy-ish way you can post the page in here. There may be easier and better ways but what I do is send a photo(taken on phone) of the thing I want post to email on my desktop computer.I dont even download the picture, just preview it. Then I just copy the...
