• 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

    Vitor Matos ahead of Wrexham | Press Conference

    Parking for the moment that the least inspiring thing anyone on the planet can do is be grindingly and persistently negative.. Matos gave a very insightful analysis into how Wrexham try and attack you, and appeared to have a grasp of how their approach has differed from last season - so there is...

    Josh Key

    Said it before the only way out is hard work and a return to basics. You are a RB and your responsibility is 100% to defend the right side. I feel like Key hast oo much going on in hiis head re getting forward and covering other positions. He constantly needs to know where the opposition threat...

    See my post above - absolutely Ronald is getting blamed for his own performances. If he was from Brynamman rather than Brazil he would have been benched long ago.

    I know I date myself - but the likes of Clough and Ferguson picked defenders who could defend and attackers who attacked. A famous left back who liked to bomb forward was told by Clough "if you want to play that way you will battle for the 11 jersey - you won't ever be wearing the 3". Fast...

    Things that annoy you more than they should

    OK I live in Canada now and am 13 years removed. However, did the law change? If ANY shop sells you a defective item - they have to take it back regardless of whether you have a receipt. If goods are "not fit for purpose" surely there are still consumer protections?

    I still havent cooled down on the Josh Key performance- but surely when you are struggling you go back to basics Comes on as a right back abainst a dangerous left winger. Priority 1,2 and 3 is staying tight and containing the threat First involvement today - not only was he not tight to his...

    It literally took 30 secs for Key to cost us a goal WTF!!!!

    The January 2026 Transfer Window Thread - Now Closed!

    I think Josh Key needs an extended break to work on his game. I don’t recall him being such a defensive liability when he joined us. A coaching intervention might turn his form around.. he has been catastrophic recently,

    Great anecdote but wrong season - he was 62 at the time :cool:

    He didnt change shape though - we continued with a back 4 and Canango at RB instead of a knackered Galbraith. The point was we stepped out more as a back 4 and midfield. Definitely an improvement in such a short time.

    Ronald is a total conundrum. Busts his ass and is fantastic covering for his full back. Which incidentally makes Key seem even worse! On the other hand his finishing, and particularly crossing is so bad as to be laughable. He literally either chooses the wrong option or executes terribly 95% of...

    World Cup 2026 - A General Thread (Includes ‘Hydration’ Break Discussion)

    I literally look at Detroit from my house - across the Detroit river it is less than a mile away. Ford Field Comerica park and the LCA are less than 5 miles away. Was a time i crossed about 10 times a month - now the border is much more hostile, US prices have equalized with Canadian - and no...

    I think a lot of posters have unreasonabe expectations. Winning championship games is hard, winning by multiple goals even harder. This is why there is about 12 points between the relegation zone and the play offs. Edging close games is the difference between the top and bottom. Togetherness...

    Put so much in Saturday the physios have probably called this one. I expect to see a ton of action from the bench. On a side note - this is a crucial game for Idah - he needs to impress to really demonstrate his value to the squad. At times he looks quick, mobile and talented. Without the ball...

    I live in Windsor ON - a 4 hour drive south of Toronto. Today we have had 5 inches of snow and temperatures ranging from day time highs of -2 to -10. In the summer we can get weeks of 35 degrees and humidity throught the roof because of the great lakes. In short it can be uncomfortable both...
