• 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

    Liam Manning

    Nothing to do with the Swans. Just read that Huddersfield and him have mutually parted. I was reading an article about him in the guardian and the impact the loss of his son has had on him. He(Manning), also lost his own father when he was just eleven years old. I really hope he gets the...

    Our centre backs

    Both decent in the air, but as ball players they’re extremely poor. Burgess especially, has been a huge disappointment. Hopefully Matos will address this in the summer as we do have the nucleus of being a good side.

    Grimesy’s Reception?

    Will he get a barracking or booed? Some of our fanbase are still split on him.

    Jealousy amongst Cardiff fans

    Got to laugh at some of them, deriding us for our crowds calling us tinpot The bigger picture is we’ve a part owner with 100M followers. There’s only one way the club is going. Might take a while, but hopefully the more of South Wales will be attracted to us. I’ve never had a problem with...

    Play offs..

    Anyone thinking we can do it? Looking back over the last five years, the highest no of points to get 6th was 77 and the lowest was 68 last season. So I’d say 72 points minimum. 27 points from our remaining 13 games isn’t out of the question. If only we sorted out our away form.

    Bristol City fans yesterday

    Considering the numbers, found them very quiet. Poor set of fans tbh.

    Josh Tymon

    Gone under the radar a bit imho. The likes of Vip and Galbraith are continuously being talked of being potentially premier league players, but this guy for me has been consistently good for the best part of two years. Good job he’s tied down with us for another three years.

    Season ticket renewals

    Are they out? Normally are this time of year, unless I’ve missed the communication.

    Strange decision?

    For the EFL to have fixtures on Monday 29th Dec which is a working day over the holiday period. Would loved to have gone to Oxford for the away fixture, but work commitments prevent me from doing so. Surely they could’ve pencilled in Sunday 28th as a date?

    You can blame Williams, Sheehan and maybe later on Matos..

    But the shower of shyte taking to the pitch shouldn’t be devoid of any criticism. Call yourselves professionals? The great Liverpool, Utd and Arsenal teams of the past for examples had great leaders on the pitch. Who did we have yesterday? Absolutely no one. Maybe the signings in the summer and...

    Craig Bellamy

    Didn’t like him when he was a player, especially considering his Cardiff connections However I’m starting to warm to him now, especially on listening to his last few interviews. I think given time, he’ll end up being a very good manager at club level too.

    Long range shooting…

    It’s something that they need to do in training. We very rarely have a pop from outside the box, and if we do, the ball inevitably ends up in the stands.

    Josh key

    Could do with a spell on the sidelines. Seems to have regressed since he joined us. Same can be said of Ronald too. Our weakest link is the right side, both defensively and offensively.

    Burgess v Darling

    I know being a Swans fan I’m going to be biased and say Burgess is better, but I genuinely think he is. He commands a bigger presence, is good with both feet and is good in the air. Yes, Darling did contribute to goals and assists, and I’m not denigrating him, but overall Burgess is a more...

    Lawrence Vigouroux

    .. take a bow son. Absolutely superb today against Hull, commanding his area and coming for every ball. Best game i think that I’ve seen him play

    Football benches

    They’re massive these days aren’t they? Back I the day, there was the manager, assistant, physio and one sub. Nowadays benches are huge. And what’s with these iPads and flip charts when subs are being made? Has the game become more complicated from 40 odd years ago?

    New 3rd away shirt…

    ….anyone else think that it’s a thing of beauty? The Gulf sponsor tops it off for me personally, as even though we were third division, some of my happiest times following the swans was back around that time. Now all we need are DP and Action retros!

    Cullen v Sheff Utd

    Felt for him yesterday. Plainly obvious he’s not a 9. He’s also not the type to hold up Play and bring midfielders into the game. He struggled. Hope Sheehan realises this after his(Cullens) performance yesterday.

    Should we be concerned?

    Two defeats against lower league opposition. I know there was a mix of first team and fringe players starting but today’s lineup was pretty strong. What are we lacking?

    Feel good factor..

    Has it returned to the club? We seem to be more proactive in the market, new owners are also trying to build bridges with the supporters. Coupled with good performances from the team under Sheehan can we ask… Are the good times returning? Me personally, I’m cautiously optimistic for the coming...
