• 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
    Owner, jackarmy.net

    Stop expecting perfection from us - top referee

    Every set of fans can name referees who will not ever give them a fair shout, referees that just don't like the club/town/whatever. In that situation, try as they might (or not sometimes) the referee has a sub-conscious bias, and it will show. Mistakes are acceptable, bias is not. We've all...

    Man United

    Their pen-ultimate game was City. Their last game was Stoke, and they lost.

    Man United

    It's what Denis Law said in an interview, I saw the interview, and he wasn't happy about it. Why would he feel sad about something that didn't happen? To be precise, morning of 74-04-27 United were 2 points behind Birmingham in 19th place. That day Birmingham beat Norwich 2-1, but Law having...

    Man United

    Denis Law's last kick of the ball in professional football to to score for Man City against them and get them relegated. He regrets that.

    Lineker Gone

    I'm confused. Do Hamas and Israel play football matches? I don't think they do. So WTF is this conversation doing here?

    Lawrence Vigouroux ...

    I like your posts. They are detailed and informative.

    Bobby Wales To Sign

    I'm completely chill. We have a manager who I think knows what he is doing, certainly better than I know (Championship v. park football on that), the DoF is less clear but I am willing to be optimistic. I never thought Williams knew what he was doing and was disappointed when they dropped...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    Manager contracts usually have performance metrics. The guy goes under water on metrics and he can be removed cheaply. If you understand that, then the apparently strange timing of some dismissals makes sense.

    Possession football overhyped?

    You are seduced by the term 'possession'. Holding the ball within your own 40 metre line and pushing it up and down the back line is 'possession' but it does nothing for you unless you want to shut down the game. The opposition can relax, let you get on with it while they have a rest until they...

    Season 24/25 | The Official Match Thread | Millwall 1 Swansea City 0 | Att: 17,239 (Jacks 1,354) | 26th April 2025 | The EFL Championship

    It is obvious that La Jolla is a troll. BTW, La Jolla is a coastal suburb of San Diego and is notorious for having the highest density of pretentious muppets in the San Diego area. We are talking about San Diego, so that's a high bar.

    Luka Modric new minority owner?

    Nothing wrong with showing off the trophy, and nothing wrong with enjoying it, but Laudrup stood there with a fixed, deeply uncomfortable smile on his face, like a man who felt himself a god landed amongst the trolls. He knew how these things should feel, and it was a million miles short. I...

    Luka Modric new minority owner?

    To those who complained about the Au Vodka contract and that the club gets nothing out of it - yes it does. I think this is all part a of brand shift that was clearly needed after relegation. Martin I think was supposed to be part of it, right image, good manner, good hair, but he couldn't win...

    Plus, "Liberty" was a much better name. A very good name in fact.

    New Manager

    I doubt that Leicester will take him, his win percentage and points won were terrible here and not stunning at Soton. He did sort of OK at Soton until Troy Deeney left, then slipped out of the automatics and only just got up to the Prem. He believes he is very clever, believes he has deep...

    Alan Sheehan-Manager for Next Season

    Exactly. I increasingly feel that they will have to do very well to get someone better than how Sheehan is doing atm. There is a big risk that they'll get someone from Europe, who looks just great on paper, his team look great on youtube, all the usual suspect are besides themselves with...

    New Manager

    He was condemned to death by drinking Hemlock, inducing progressive paralysis until it gets to the heart - so no spinning possible. When I was a student 'the socialist dialectic' always had to be mentioned by some blokes when in the company of girls, so it's a word I always use frivolously.

    I was using Socrates' dialectical method, which is a type of reductio ad absurdam. That is to say, whoosh.

    New Manager

    Sheehan was given a tricky hand to play. Soton got rid of Martin back in December, but the new guy still hasn't managed to eliminate the instinctive response of "pass it back to the back line so the opposition can score". Martinball is a chronic disease that hides in the crevices of the club...

    Cardiff City Relegation Party. #findyourlevel

    I am conflicted. I don't want to see any Welsh team get relegated, and I don't want to see the team in the capital go down, because its the Welsh capital. But ... but I do enjoy more than a little schadenfreude when Cardiff lose and relegation would be just oh so funny. I have a solution, chuck...

    Exactly, 1/4 second more time and he puts it past the keeper. I think he'll get that.
