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

With Millwall to come. Definitely winnable.

Nice to see. A bit more creativity and pace in that team and things can certainly improve even further.

Those draws against Watford, Hull & Millwall don’t look too bad looking at the current league table.
I said at the time Watford & Hull both looked useful and a point in each game were good results for us

I still keep thinking that Southampton & Leicester will come good and make the top 6 but the longer the season goes on the less and less likely it looks.
For what it’s worth Matos doesn’t do draws

Just watched Leicester being whacked by Sheff Utd. They looked pretty poor, not a patch on the side that gave us a hammering a couple of months ago.

I’m sure it’s based more on how relegated teams have done in the last few seasons than their actual performances.
There’s 3 or 4 places in that top 6 still up for grabs (and no I’m not getting carried away and thinking we’ll make it!)
They gave us a hammering when they were beating nobody else for weeks before and after our game. They are a bang average team as the table suggests.

And I remember the deduction was 9 points

Looks like the hearing was in late November and the decision should be announced soon:
Leicester face hearing on potential points deduction after alleged breaches of Premier League profit and sustainability rules
The independent commission hearing into alleged breaches of profit and sustainability rules will begin later this week, with lawyers from both sides expected to give evidence for around two days; Sky Sports News has been told a result could come before Christmas, or early in the new year.
It does make me laugh that they were in this position before, but got away with it thanks to being relegated and successfully arguing the PL had no ability to punish them for breaking PSR rules because they were no longer in the PL. So the EFL and PL changed the rules. If the decision goes against them, they'll be punished with a points deduction in the Championship even though the charges relate to last season in the PL.
If memory serves me, weren't Leicester one of the last clubs to benefit from going into administration and not receiving a points deduction? I'm sure they were one of the reasons that that punishment was brought in.

They got promoted despite breaching financial fair play rules in the Championship and they argued that the FA had no power to penalize them because they were a Premier League club and being on their usual high horse the Premier League agreed with them.
As soon as the shoe was on the other foot though they were super keen on changing the rules so that they could punish a side under the FA's jurisdiction.
