• 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'm 80% sure we'll make the final.

The odds of us reaching the final are 2/7 in the bookies: That is 77.8%. So I am 2.2% overconfident.

I always find it funny how fans cautiously use the "it's going to be tough", "X are a good team", "we mustn't underestimate X" lines. We're fans not managers or players!!! Just say it as it is....we're MASSIVE favourites to reach the final. .

Deep down most people think the same as me but are scared to say it. Take the "Who's going to Wembley poll" for example: 80 people have anonomously voted we're going to Wembley - yet noone has written that in a post. I choose to be confident and optimistic.

I'm the last person to be overly pessimistic. On paper our team is stronger than theirs. I just see some specific reasons to be cautious this time. I thought we'd win at Oakwell and thought we needed to. I am nowhere near as optimistic for home games these days as we have been rubbish at home for 3 months now.
 
You cannot help thinking pessimistically, it's a natural human trait, especially when the team you love so much is in a big game.

For me I think we will get there, the biggest reason why is because the players that cooper trusts and has used too much this season hence the big dip are all fresh after having a good rest, they know that they are 90 mins away from a one off game to get back into the PL, they will run their blood to water to make sure that we are in that play off final, it won't be pretty but these games never are and they way we now play sets us up perfect for it.
 
Don't know having about the ability to turn it around. We certainly have the ability to fack it right up.
