• 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

We have much better odds if we only have to play them once. Think Bonecrusher Smith against Frank Bruno.(1 punch in the 10th)
 
Barnsley winning, they'll only be a couple of points behind us if they hold on to that. More importantly Reading are drawing at Luton, which is great news for us.

Daryl Dike scores his 9th goal since joining on loan from the MLS in January, shame Morris picked up that injury or he may have seen a similar impact for us.
 
Huddersfield away has been a disastrous fixture for us recently.
The Ayew sending off that turned our season in the Prem, and then the 4-1 this season that saw Bennet an Morris injured and also saw the obliteration of our watertight defence. Both seasons have turned on that fixture. Strange.
 
The good/bad news is that a draw is now good enough to confirm playoffs on Sat. Expect an 8-1-1 formation.
 
Has Derby changed its name officially to "Wayne Rooneys Derby County" yet. I'm figuring they must have as I haven't heard them called anything else since Christmas.

They've got to be.. I'm not surprised they're fighting relegation with Rooney in charge, he's as thick as two planks, nevermind the granny sh*gging and chain smoking habit he's got.
 
Its no secret I have a lot of time for our manager but listening to his pre match conference I do wonder if he has blown a gasket in his noggin. He sounds like he has other things on his mind. His sentences trail off like hes just remembered something important." Did I leave the gas on?" He seems to say.

Brentford were outstanding there and Bournemouth a bit disappointing. Both miles better than anything we've produced in a long while.

That's exactly how I felt listening to him. He sounded exhausted, like he'd lost all his enthusiasm.

He’s finally got a dose of what he’s done to us then. Most players are probably well fucked off with the idiot and his ridiculous selections, formations and tactics by now too. Who the hell wants to waste their career going backwards and leathering the ball as far as they can forwards. Hardly the stuff of dreams of a young footballer.

Can't say I agree with that, but then you've had an anti-Cooper agenda for a while. When things don't go to plan on the field I tend to blame the players. Grimes slows everything down in midfield and he has 2 types of pass in his locker - one to the left wingback/fullback, and one to the right wingback/fullback. Hourihane is a waste of a shirt - if I had a penny for every hospital pass he's given ... Fulton's been our best midfielder by a country mile this season. Lowe traps the ball further than I can kick it - scores a goal very now and then, but basically doesn't play well with others. Ayew - well, he's undroppable because he's on £80K a week. Whitaker's not really ready for this level yet. Smith is OK, but often anonymous. Dhanda - another waste of a shirt. Routledge is way past it. Woodman, either lumps it long to nobody or straight into touch - and he's suspect at set pieces. Add to that a lack of movement, and a lack of desire to be brave on the ball and you get pretty sterile football. Basically, a lot of our players are just not good enough. But, yes, it's Cooper's fault.

Otherwise ok?
