• 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

    We’ve a long history of outsiders with a rudimentary understanding of the language making a great contribution to our club. Andy Robinson and Trunds for a start 🤣

    Most teams in this division are well organised and Pompey were no exception. They seemed better off the ball than Oxford were and effectively closed off our passing lines. Of course then it was down to us to find a way around/through them and we didn’t move the ball quickly enough to be a threat...

    Although also a good idea to play him in an otherwise settled side and against (slightly) weaker opponents. It’s all down to him to impress Vitor now.

    Ridiculous situation 🤣

    FA Cup Third Round - Swansea City v West Bromwich Albion

    We’re on a bit of a roll. It feels like we’ve had far more than our fair share of home cup draws for a few years

    Vitor on the problem of his coaches.

    It also limits the pool of international players were able to recruit as well. It’s far less likely we’ll be able to unearth unsung talent. Players like Rangel probably would reach the points threshold for a visa these days. But it’s not all bad. At least we can admire our blue passports while...

    And a song for the new manager. Although it’ll feel weird singing it in April

    Ha, we haven’t got that many back ups have we?! Fighting spirit was good today. There was a definite upping of desire and determination. I had a big upping when Tymon’s volley went in, but maybe that’s too much information 🤣

    It was forced on us today, but it solved the problem of how to play Galbraith, Franco and Widell in the same team. Widell was excellently promising: he allowed us to play through the middle as an option in a way we never can with Cullen. Didn’t create, but there’s a lot of potential there. I do...

    There was talk earlier in the thread about Stamenić and the up and down start he’s had. That was the best we’ve seen from him today imo. He was a bit rushed in his decision making at times giving the ball away unnecessarily, but overall a really solid and dominant performance from him. Nice to...

    Whatever happens, it a day out with the lad and an escape from being nagged about chores at home 🤣. I’ll enjoy it.

    He’s not playing any differently now than he did with us.

    He’s looking out of his depth so far. Even stuff like going up the Railway with the fans pre-match doesn’t sit well with me. It’s an easy gimmick that will convince a few that he’s ‘one of us’, but he should be all over every aspect of match day and looking to see where can improve. Or at the...

    Benson can beat a man like nobody else in the club. There’s definitely something there.

    His strength there wasn’t his passing. He’s not terrible and does like a pinged diagonal, but he’s not a cultured CB either. His strength was always in his ability as a stopper.

    He’s certainly looks a downgrade on O’Brien and Grimes at the moment. He’s still finding his feet and was rated highly enough for Forest to have a look. Plus he’s had a crap start with his father passing. So I’m with you hoping he can step up in time. I don’t think people appreciate how much of...

    Only positive in terms of transfer hype, but that wasn't based on any reality or reason. I doubt all but a very small minority of us fans had heard of most of our signings let alone seen them play. And then people got even more carried away because we were spending £5 million and £7 million on...

    Our recruitment has been crap for ages hasn't it. Their striker was plucked from the Norwegian leagues in the summer and bagged a brace. Our signings struggle to get two over the whole season.

    A lot of clubs are using it. We nicked it of Forest. Anyway, that wasn't great. Losing is becoming a habit that'll be hard to break with this squad.

    No obvious reason; as you say he’s been on the bench since his 3 game ban. He’s ridiculously lightweight though. I’d be playing Stamic and Galbraith as the two CDMs (with Galbraith licence to roam and be the playmaker). I’d like to see more of Widell ahead of them. He’s not going to get the...
