• 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

I miss this era, immensely.

Always remember the pride watching MOTD and pundits having Swansea as their second favourite team. It was a glorious time. I don’t think it’s impossible we can rise again but it’ll be in a different guise. Football evolves.

Absolutely we can rise again, we nearly made it back twice under Cooper. I know the championship is a decent level (spent most of my teenage years watching third and fourth division football) but we can't lack ambition to get in the Premier league. Hate people saying they would be happy with mid table finishes, particularly this early in the season, got to have ambition and hope ,it's what keeps us turning up week in week out.
 
I know what you mean, We were a bit special, weren't we? Don't think I'll see anything like that again in my lifetime, just grateful to have seen it once.
What an incredible video - and what a player Michu was. So many memories - but I would encourage anyone to take a second look at the second Swans goal in the away win at the Emirates.
Watch the way Michu's blood turns to ice in his veins and he literally slows down before putting the gunners to death - absolute class!
It was so cruel that we were denied a few more seasons of Michu and a transfer fee that would have been off the scale. One of the best to ever wear the shirt without doubt.

My personal favourite Michu goal was his second on his debut at QPR. Unbelievable skill and yes what an unbelievable era.

We need to see this ruthlessness again in the team. A fearlessness. A brilliance.... Constantly forward, attacking play.

I feel optimistic that we can achieve great things with the team we have today. However, we need to see much improved physicality and an opportunistic, predatory mindset become second nature. It begins with confidence from the manager down and I'm hopeful Sheehan can instill this.
