• 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 Last Day

    Thanks for everything Phil. Time to enjoy your next chapter as an ‘ordinary’ fan. It was inconceivable when this site started what would have happened in the next 25 years. And it is probably inconceivable what the next twenty five will hold. Some of it was truly wonderful. Some of it I will...

    Posters of the past

    I couldn’t let this list go without a mention of my one time nemesis, Shaky. Huge value added to this site for ages. And must have done wonders to Phil’s post numbers given he once spent days and probably hundreds of posts telling me that it was impossible I knew anything about finance as I’d...

    Profit and Sustainability - is dead and replaced

    Couple of points in this. Firstly, it’s not designed to make the league ‘fairer’ or to create a level playing field, or to narrow the gap between parachute clubs and others. It’s designed with one purpose - to attempt to stop clubs from gambling and going out of business. Which should give an...

    2026/27 Squad

    The first point is absolutely correct. Bear8ng in mind the player we will probably have to move on is Vipotnik, the second point is nowhere near unless we can replace his goals. We have scored 54 goals in the league and he’s scored 23 of them and assisted 3 more. That’s 28 goals he hasn’t...

    I think it was a clear penalty. No often given against keepers though. Anyway, it doesn’t much matter.

    We could use one of our 400 coaches to talk to Parker… And I think we’ve used to him to the detriment of others. Anyway - one more game and he’s gone.

    If it was that easy to get rid we would have done in January. Hopefully someone will take him and he won’t fail a medical. I’m sure burgess will stay, I’m just saying imo we should try to sell. He and. Abandon don’t work together if we have ambitions, and he’s way too expensive to be on the...

    if we remove Vipotnik goals we could have the best defence in the league and we’ll go down unless we buy some quality. Ward was a waste of time. Santos we’ll do well to get rid of as we tried everything in January and couldn’t. Cullen may go although I doubt it. Cooper should have been given a...

    Since Matos took over we’d be 11th. Which is the same as we are over the season. Today showed the good and bad. Played really well in parts without really threatening to score. And spent the last 25 minutes hoofing the ball pretty aimlessly. Cullen was awful btw. And their penalty I thought...

    Franco the Frog

    How on earth has Ronald managed to avoid learning English in two years when they have a teacher given to them? At least enough to understand those questions…

    JackArmy.net - Twenty-Five Years And Out

    The paltalk game I’ll always remember is the Rochdale game before THAT Hull game. After the heartache of Exeter at home that was the game that changed everything.

    JackArmy.net - Twenty-Five Years And Out

    Absolute lightweight. Honestly. In all seriousness, thanks Phil for everything you’ve done on this site and in your commitment to ‘active’ support. You’ve done as much if not more than any other supporter in not only keeping this site going, but keeping the club going. Younger supporters will...

    Galbraith

    May have offered him less than we did Vipotnik. That’s how it should be btw. He may not like that, but we hold very strong cards.

    Absolutely agree if we can sustain ourselves with the money from him. Not sure we’ll get as much as we may imagine though to be honest.

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | QPR 1 Swansea City 2 | Att: 13,835 | Tuesday 21st April | The EFL Championship | Matrade Loftus Road

    Better in the second half at keeping the ball and creating and it’s not often we’ve seen that. The first 15 of the second half was as good as we’ve played in a while. Walta has great vision - we really need to start seeing more of him. Never a penalty but we’re due one. Would have left on...

    One of them would have been the best pass played from midfield all season.

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | QPR 1 Swansea City 2 | Att: 13,835 | Tuesday 21st April | The EFL Championship | Matrade Loftus Road

    No, absolutely not. Keep Walta on for experience. Yalcouye shouldn’t play again unless absolutely necessary.

    S25/26 | The Official Match Thread | QPR 1 Swansea City 2 | Att: 13,835 | Tuesday 21st April | The EFL Championship | Matrade Loftus Road

    Fulton and Parker are playing well. Some great pressing in the middle. Couple of good saves from Vigs. Well taken goal after good work from Fulton. But for the love of God can we just calm it down, keep the ball, find one of our players and show some composure. We are great at pressing and...

    Pleased with the selection. Good chance to see Idah and Walta. And hope to see Woodward as well. QPR’s ground is 15 minutes’ walk for me from home. Sadly I’m not able to go as I’m a couple of hours away. Always seem to play them midweek and the past few years it keeps clashing with me not being...

    Galbraith

    Your point re release clause may be what’s driving this. Although that would mean the report re Wrexham being turned down wouldn’t make sense. If there isn’t one, we have another three years anyway. Forget it for now. I’d sell him rather than Vipotnik. Trouble is we won’t get anywhere near as...
