• 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

A lot to do with arrogance - still think they have an Empire and all will bow down before them.

Pretty sure we were part of that empire?

Here's a list of European teams that have won the World Cup...

Germany (4 times)
Italy (4 times)
France (2 times)
England (1 time)
Spain (1 time) - and very recent (2010) considering their footballing pedigree.

A good handful of 'football countries' haven't won.

I enjoy England having a stinker of a competition as much as anyone, but they must piss themselves when they hear Welsh fans taking the mick out of their World Cup/European Cup history, with our two qualifications (once for the World Cup)...and one for the 2020 Euros which hasn't taken place yet.

England have qualified for the World Cup 15 times and the Euros 9 times.
Scotland have qualified for the World Cup 8 times and the Euros 2 times.
Ireland have qualified for the World Cup 3 times and the Euros 3 times.
Northern Ireland have qualified for the World Cup 3 times and once for the Euros.

Even Northern Ireland trump us for competitions qualified for! It's great that we're having a resurgence, especially with Bale, but let's put it in perspective, eh?

(Rugby is our national sport, anyway. :lol: :D *runs for door* )



Have you omitted the fact that we were 'Euro 2016' Semi finalists :shock:

Yes I think it was called the British Empire
