• 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

    the common denominator with all those head coaches is that they all had a sizeable chest of cash to secure top quality loans or experienced footballers. Apart from the occasional PL recruit the Swans market lies in European second division leagues

    First time I have heard of that incident, if its true he should be ashamed of himself.

    My admiration for our fans who travel away.. but why do you do it these days ?

    I take my hat off to the much maligned Ugo Valerio Travel Club who has been travelling around the country for a long, long time until he was shafted by the club who thought they could do better.

    There's a trend here we have to break for the future

    Irrespective of the quality in the summer recruitment the writing was on the wall after some insipid performances against league opposition(Stevenage, Cheltenham, Exeter) in the pre-season matches which has carried on during most league games where a consistent performance over 90 minutes has...

    U18 and U21 match coverage

    Yet again there's been no coverage in the OS apart from X regarding match reports on either our 18's and 21's. Come on Gorringe sort it out these are the teams that are producing potential first team footballers. Here is a report from a Watford perspective...

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    At the moment I think its more the system of play that is the problem. No driving midfielder through the centre, all of the play is totally predictable that even a moderate Rangers side took advantage of prior to Yacouye's dismissal.

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    Andrew, I don't have any inside information and all I have done is look how far Worth has come in a short time at the club as against an experienced recruitment officer in Montague and it appears to me that Cravatt is backing Worth. We all agreed that the summer recruitment was very good but the...

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    Oxford brought close on 2000 fans but the home percentage(17700) was almost as high as it was against Hull in a previous match. There is something radically wrong in our quick decline regarding our passages of play and who do you believe, Sheehan or the players. Are the players letting Sheehan...

    Sheehan v Cravatt

    There is no doubt that the second half of season 2024/25 regarding a playing style was the most welcomed since Potter’s second half of his one year tenure, albeit down to one player – Liam O’Brien. He alone instigated an attacking formula and by the end of the season there were rumours demanded...

    I miss this era, immensely.

    No analytics back in the Tosh days, and when Harry Griffiths took over, with the raw talent he inherited - James, Curtis, Charles, Stevenson - it was a matter of getting the ball forward and they would do the rest. Almost a century of goals scored in 1976/77 season yet promotion was missed by...

    Ben Davies

    Hard to imagine the career Ben has had since his days alternating with Joe Walsh on the left side of defence, at full back or at left side c/back during a season played in the Premier Reserve League in 2011/12. Absolutely nothing between either player and with Walsh making his first team debut...

    I miss this era, immensely.

    Two brilliant eras of playing in the top tier of English football but what disappointed me more was the fallaway of fans in Tosh's second season in the First Division when after 3 league games Swans were second in the league and had already witnessed a Latchford hat-trick v Norwich City. Around...

    Is it time to lead Cyril the Swan to his retirement home or do fans think he is actually worth persevering with.

    Less entitlement and more encouragement

    No not really, but if one looks back at the number of people since relegation from the PL who have been involved in our recruitment and analytics departments within the club I daresay percentage wise there have been in ongoing recruitment and departures almost every 18 months.

    Who is this clown?? Shoddy writing!

    It beggars belief that there are still some amongst us who read these blogs.
