• 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

    Are desktop computers on their way out?

    I was amazed to read in the latest edition of WHICH magazine that they now have a policy of no longer reviewing desktops and recommend that we all switch to the latest laptops. Really? I was seriously thinking of buying a new one as it would stay at home so wouldn't need to be portable. Am I...

    An outsider's point of views

    https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/swansea-cardiff-bubble-match-completely-bizarre-3245797?ico=most_popular If we really are the last fixture to have bubbles then it's long past time to abolish them. Have a massive police presence and then ban every idiot from both clubs who cause any trouble.

    Is Tommy Hutchison better than Roger Freestone?

    What a stupid question. First, because you have to be over 50 to even understand the question. Second, just give the number of posts that someone has made, or better still, just don't bother. Is there anyone here who is attempting to get promoted from Roger Freestone to Tommy Hutchison or...

    Ticket problem for Norwich

    Just got this email from the ticket office, has anyone else received it? "Thank you for your recent purchase of tickets for the Norwich City Vs Swansea City. Unfortunately due to the Varsity event at the stadium yesterday, Royal Mail did not collect our post therefore your tickets haven't been...

    Death in Paradise / Willy Gueret

    It's back tonight and the Sunday Times has an interview with Ralf Little, who's the detective. It's filmed on the French island of Guadeloupe and Ralf Little says he likes to drink on Perle beach, just north of Deshaies, at a bar called Chill, run by Willy Gueret. Maybe we'll see him as an extra...

    Any B&Bs that you can recommend?

    I know that this isn't Trip Advisor, but can you recommend any decent B&Bs or small family hotels in Swansea / Gower. I'm coming down this weekend (Fri - Mon) and haven't been back for a while except for day trips to home matches. Thanks in advance for any replies, even joking ones.

    What the Birmingham fans thought of the Swans

    I read the other fans forums so you don’t have to (www.smallheathalliance.com) and some of the Birmingham comments are posted below. I like reading other clubs’ forums, because these games are when a lot of other fans, who are just as experienced as we are, get the chance to see the Swans in...

    How the Reading fans saw us

    I do like to lurk on the opposition fans forums to see what they think about us, and if they - as outsiders - have noticed anything that we haven't. Usually they don't. Anyway, here's a summary of what the Reading fans thought. And No, I won't be doing this for Sunday's match, and won't be going...

    King Charles or West Brom?

    So it's Saturday, 6 May: Charles is being crowned and the Swans are at home to West Brom with a chance of getting into the play-offs or even going up automatically* (*or being relegated, of course). Do you pay your tenner to watch it on TV and listen to Wyndham and Trundle waffling away? Or do...

    Signs that you have gotten (not are getting) old

    As happened to me this evening, When you're at an ordinary pub with 50 people in it and you are definitely the oldest there. And when did Thursday after work become as busy as Friday after work? When someone asked if the Beach Boys were Classical Music (admittedly, he's not the brightest)...

    Everton or Burnley?

    Everton or Burnley? (1) Who do you want to be relegated? (2) Who do expect to be relegated? My answers. (1) Tough call. An away trip to Everton i.e. in Liverpool would be awesome but they're guaranteed to go straight back up, leaving the Swans with one less place to fight for, so I'm hoping...

    Everton's final games

    EDIT - This is a ferdie, as Phil posted first, so will the Mods please delete it. I'm going to be generous and say that they will get a maximum of 13 points from that terrible sequence of games. Will that be enough? Do any of us want to see them in the Championship, given that they will have...

    Well done Cardiff, the rugby club

    Well done Cardiff in the rugby even though they lost. I was in Twickenham today before and after the match and both sets of fans were great.
