• 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

The state on that Brazil. Is he/was he a boozer?

The comment I liked 'High Press' is shorter than 'closing down' 🤣

Saunders is a dinosaur but love listening to him, he’s a good boy.
 
Hes quite right of course, they've done the same with rugby. They are trying to over complicate, what should be a fairly simple game.

There are people out there who advocate that football can be broken down into statistics and that success can be achieved by percentages. There are a worryingly large number of them and even worse they are actually listened to. This is why we get nonsense like "we had lots of Final Third Entries" used in press conferences and nobody laughs.

I genuinely believe that this sort of stuff is sucking the life out of the game. There are thousands of identikit drone "Clipboard managers" (copyright Monny) all trying to play the same soul destroyingly dull kind of football. Clement. Cooper. Martin. All cut from the same cloth.

Rugby was ruined for me for the very same reasons, I can't be doing with all the nonsense. I dont want to see, it played by numbers either. The adoption of American w@nk word bingoisms is creeping into the beautiful game, and it's getting worse, add to that the VAR nonsense, and you are right, its ruining the game.

There's no real difference between the style of play we use under Russy and that advocated by Charles Hughes, king of long ball. Both of them are based on statistical analysis. Neither of them have any concern for how much fun they are to watch.

Russy at least understands that passing football is better, but has absolutely no idea why.

:lol: that last comment is fckn genius.
 
Having grown up with Deano I can confirm he wasn't the sharpest pencil in the case at school, neither was he the most talented footballer at his age group in Penlan Comp never mind Swansea, but fair play to him the one thing he possessed more than anybody was his desire to get too the very top.
Benny, his old man was absolutely batshit crazy (in a good way) and really was the driving force behind his career in his early days, even pulling a few strings to get him a trial with the Swans at 15 when others probably deserved it more perhaps, anyway, lad done good 👍

Ah! Yes fun, I vaguely remember that concept.🙂
