• 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

    Villa

    Unai Emery has got to be the most underrated coach in Europe. Takes comparatively average groups of players and makes them much better than they have any right to be. Well done Villa.

    Arsenal.

    Perhaps the most astonishing thing about this Arsenal team is that it has gone 37 league games without conceding a penalty or receiving a red card. If that holds up in the last game, they'll be the first team in the entire history of league football in this country to do that. I'm sorry, but...

    Wot, no FA Cuppp final thread?

    Two teams had a tentative-off. One team scored. One team won. Every neutral was bored as fuck. That's it in a nutshell.

    Wot, no FA Cuppp final thread?

    Worst cup final in a long time. Awful

    Scottish Title Decider

    Wanted Hearts to do it but they shrivelled in the second half. All credit to Celtic.

    Carrick

    There are a couple of things not many pundits have pointed out about Carrick. 1. He couldn't get Boro out of the Championship in several attempts, despite having one of the bigger budgets in the division. One play off semi wasn't a very good return. 2. For most of his time in charge at...

    Scottish Title Decider

    You've got to give Hearts credit for taking it to game 38 before letting Celtic retain their title. 😉

    Southampton

    The ballboy thing can do one. Along with goalkeepers going down "injured" whenever their gaffer wants to give a quick team talk. I'm all for the dark arts of football but that sort of stuff takes the piss. I blame Arsenal personally. Arteta has introduced that kind of cynicism into our football.

    The playoffs.

    I think Hellberg comes across as a bit of a bellend, therefore that Saints goal amuses me greatly. Btw, purely on football grounds, everything I've seen of them this season - including the game down here - I really don't think he's all he is cracked up to be. They looked good in his first few...

    The playoffs.

    Just watched a Saints player just about hurdle a tackle on the halfway line, he left the player who tried to foul him trailing 3-4 yards behind and they had a 3 on 2 situation. Instead of driving on and taking advantage, he looked over his shoulder to the ref asking for the foul, lost momentum...

    Drama at West Ham.

    Ok, again my question still stands though. How many actual instances? I thought of a couple more. Bolton had a goal that went over the line in 1998 but it wasn't given and Everton stayed up as a result. Henry handball to put Ireland out of World Cup. After that I am struggling though. So in...

    Drama at West Ham.

    Were there though? What title was ever decided by a genuine on-field clanger in recent memory? The only one I can think of is when Howard Webb made up a penalty to give to Manchester United in 2009 when they were 2 down at home to Spurs at half time. But even then, United ended up winning...

    Drama at West Ham.

    It's partly that some of them are just bad at their jobs full stop. But it's also to do with the level of subjectivity they're asked to police. "Clear and obvious error" is a meaningless, load of old bollocks phrase, it can mean anything to anyone on any given day. It is nigh on impossible for...

    Drama at West Ham.

    It was no worse. But we are gaslit into believing that this is an improvement because it catches perhaps the 1 in 100 serious incidents that a ref might miss. While the many f*ck ups are quickly swept under the carpet once Howard Webb apologises on the Monday. I'd keep GDS, I'd keep semi...

    Drama at West Ham.

    Very, very soft decision. Considering on the opening day, an Arsenal player did exactly the same thing to the Man Utd keeper and nothing was done. I also find it hilarious that during the same phase of play, Declan Rice does the Heimlich Manoeuvre on Mavrapanos and drags him into the goalnet...

    What are Reform policies

    That makes me feel a lot better. It is still a shame that Deform got as many seats as they did. But that puts a much better spin on it. 👍🏻

    What are Reform policies

    My prediction is most of their councils will have imploded by late 2027/early 2028 - by which point Nige and Richard and Harborne, and whoever else is putting the money behind it all, will be chucking millions at trying to keep it out of the news. Superinjunctions, etc.

    What are Reform policies

    I'd wager a sizeable amount that several Reform councillors absolutely do not know this. Because most of them are as thick as mince.

    Senedd Election 2026

    I agree we need to be very careful not to minimise the threat - totally on board with that sentiment - but it is actually a true picture, because those are facts. As of this morning, that's a picture of which parties run which councils. The really scary thing is how our news media have...

    Senedd Election 2026

    I hate to break it to you, but in a recent post on the Reform policies thread, you appear to have admitted to holding the same/similar views on migration as Reform for several years, and you've acknowledged that the only difference is that it has become a more mainstream view these days. For...
