• 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 Out? Calm Down!

    We beat Derby, got a point at Preston and we were unlucky against Watford. The Derby game set us up for a brilliant run. There's going to be a degree of pragmatism under Sheehan which given where we are as a club, is what we need

    Sheehan Out? Calm Down!

    It is a reasonable and sensible view. The same people slagging off the old owners (rightly so) expect all the incompetence to be undone in one transfer window. Which is wholly unrealistic. Especially given the turnover of players in our squad.

    Swansea documentary in the works

    A new fan who spends money on the Swans in whatever form is valuable. They won't be preventing people in Swansea from watching us live but they may help us see better players when we're there. And the documentary may actually improve our attendances, getting even more local people to the stadium...

    Swansea documentary in the works

    Great news. At least the owners are trying new things.

    Jezza

    The issue I have with the Yates signing is that I don't understand why we signed him. It was obvious even to a lowly supporter that he was never going to be the sort of player with the attributes we needed.

    Should we be concerned?

    I don't understand this though. What sort of player do you think we should replace Cooper with? How much should we be paying in transfer fees, wages etc?

    Should we be concerned?

    If people think we can undo years of crap windows in one window, they're living in dreamland. Especially when you add in the turnover of players since the end of last season (not to mention Grimes in January)

    Euro 2025 - Women

    It's a shame the Welsh media interest (from what I've seen anyway) has been so low.

    New 'Official' Swansea Bar Opening

    I would definitely pay to have an 'Away Package' where I could watch all the away games live via an app. Especially if you could also watch them in full after kick off meaning that if you missed the start/first half/entire game, you could try and avoid the score and watch it a bit later on. If...

    New 'Official' Swansea Bar Opening

    You'd think it would be quite busy for any Swans away games on Sky. And Wales matches. Makes sense to me. Hopefully they'll offer good food too so they can make money throughout the week. Hopefully there'll be discounts for STH etc

    Age of squad

    McLaughlan and Christie leaving too no doubt. Who knows what involvement Ginnelly (28) will have. It means that we'd only have one outfielder over 30 (Fulton) and the next oldest player would be Cullen at 26

    O’Brien

    100% this. So many signings recently have cost a lot of money and been pretty poor. We should be operating with a relatively small squad, using young players when needed but making sure that when we do spend money, it is on proven quality. Or at least, when we have the chance to sign proven...

    O’Brien

    Did LOB tell you last night he was coming back next year?

    O’Brien

    By the time next season comes around, he won't have played for Forest for two and a half years. I am not sure he is going to attract a big transfer fee. Most championship clubs won't pay a big fee plus his wages to sign him permanently. His loan moves to the Championship have been...

    This would be absolutely brilliant news

    Possession football overhyped?

    Just a reminder that Roberto Martinez became our manager over 18 years ago. To long for those days now would be like talking about 1989 when he was appointed. Leaving aside the merits of playing football that way again, I'm not even sure if it's possible these days for a club with our...

    Norwich have Kim Hellberg on their radar

    Fans don't necessarily do (although things like shots/possession/corners/action areas are stats that have been used for decades at half time as a measure of how the game has gone etc so xG etc is only really an extension of that) but clearly clubs can utilise them when assessing performances of...

    Norwich have Kim Hellberg on their radar

    The point I always make with this though is that sometimes the stats do match up with what the eyes are telling you. For instance, Joel Piroe's Goals v xG is very good and in fact I think quite often he has run ahead of his xG. Based on just watching him, you'd say he a) scores a lot of...

    Norwich have Kim Hellberg on their radar

    It is an abbreviation of expected goals. It shows how many goals a team would ordinarily be expected to score from the chances they created in that game/positions they got into, etc. Therefore, if we had beaten Plymouth 1-0 without getting near their goal but Key had smashed in that worldy, our...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    It's a no-brainer to appoint Sheehan imo. If it doesn't work out then they just sack him at some stage next season with hardly any finger pointing because the vast majority of fans would have done the same thing. Appoint someone else, Sheehan goes elsewhere and does a great job and when the...
