• 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

    Championship Clubs Attendances Compared

    I think we should use aggressive dynamic pricing to fill the stadium every game. If that means selling tickets for a couple of quid at the outset so be it. Capacity crowds will help the team, generate a sense of occasion and will hopefully create a sense of scarcity, which will help to...

    Championship Clubs Attendances Compared

    https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/championship/attendances/2010-2011 The figures for the 2010/11 season show us mid table on average attendance ahead of Bristol City, Millwall, Preston and Watford.

    Championship Clubs Attendances Compared

    When you compare our attendances to the last time we were in the Championship they are pretty much identical. Most other clubs in the Championship have increased their following by several thousand. The positive in this is that there's no good reason why we can't grow our support. Winning...

    Swansea City Have Parted Ways with Head Coach Luke Williams

    I agree with most of this, although some of these issues can be attributes to having few options, especially in the middle of the park with Allen perpetually injured and Franco blowing up after 60 minutes. The point about possession is a common misunderstanding of Williams' approach. If that was...

    Turki Alashikh, Bristol City takeover revelation ...

    I think they're on a good trajectory. Improvements to the ground, facilities and just made the playoffs. They're heading in the right direction.

    Swansea City Have Parted Ways with Head Coach Luke Williams

    I really liked Williams when he joined. A really positive, open personality, impossible not to warm to. Then he clearly struggled to get buy in to his ideas, probably mainly because he had the wrong players to implement his game plan. At that point he lost the plot, starting with the home game...

    Ronald

    If you focus exclusively on his attacking end product I would agree with you. 2 goals and 7 assists is a decent return but nothing out of the ordinary. However, when you factor in his defensive contribution (best in league for both tackles and duels won) he's certainly making a good contribution...

    Feel good factor..

    If there is a concern it will be our lack of pace at the back. I can see Sheehan chopping and changing approach based on the speed of the opposition strikers, perhaps defending deeper at times.

    Cardiff’s New Manager 😂😂😂😂😂

    They really don't get it that these delusions of grandeur are completely counterproductive. If you think you're better than you are before a ball is kicked then complacency is inevitable. Hunger, humility and honesty are bedrocks of success. Long may they fail to recognise it.

    Feel good factor..

    I think it's Ok to get a little bit carried away, after all if you can't get carried away in pre-season when can you? But even with a cooler examination of our prospects there's good reason to be optimistic. That 2023/24 summer window seemed decent at the time simply because of the number of...

    Cameron Burgess

    I loved his understated celebrations. Almost as if he was saying - of course I've scored, what did you expect?

    I've never seen a more physically dominant striker, apart from Duncan Ferguson perhaps. There was no way a centre back was going to nick the ball off Bony.

    Cardiff City relegation party

    Sorry to say, but I think Cardiff may finally have made a good managerial appointment. His limited and mediocre track record and the divergence in playing style are reasons why he may fail, but BBM could be the manager that gets them playing with a coherent style, maximizing the quality in their...

    Swansea City: Navigating the Championship's Treacherous Waters in 2025/26

    If you want a summary of where things are at I guess AI generated stuff is a good starting point. But to any fan who's following events at the club closely it's just generic guff and pretty tedious.

    Cameron Burgess

    Those were all poor signings, although none would have relegated us by themselves. Had we signed prime Allen he would have kept us up. Huge difference.

    Fair enough, I should have clarified that I meant recruitment wise.

    Probably Huw's biggest mistake.

    Dribbling

    It's impossible not to appreciate a player who gives 110 per cent every game, and that's certainly true of Ronald. His defensive contribution is best in league for a winger, and I'm sure Sheehan and the squad appreciate that. However, in attack I don't expect things to improve much. He has...

    Tomas the Tank

    If the chairman was that concerned about the player's welfare that wouldn't have manifested itself as a meltdown, but rather as concern. There is no spin that would convince me that this is anything other than a totally unacceptable intervention. Williams ranting after 20 minutes of the home...

    Dribbling

    I agree up to a point. The biggest challenge is that everyone nowadays has access to data, making it easier to counteract opposition strengths. For me that's the biggest reason for football being boring, at Championship level anyway, less so at PL level. Dribbling is a bit of a maverick quality...
