• 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

What’s he doing playing for us in the championship?

He got better and better as the game went on.

He’s still a Premier League player.
 
You have to be able to play more than sixty minutes to be a Premiership player, agreed he showed his class tonight but we’re going to need to get a full game out of him, whether that is possible I’m not sure.
 
He’s going to get better and better, great performance.
 
I think he could have played on tonight… didn’t look tired at all and was getting better and better.

I think they just had 1 eye on Saturday and trying to manage him after a bad injury.

He played 90 mins for the majority of Stoke games the last few seasons… rarely injured.

I’m sure Joe gave a sign to the bench 5 minutes before he was taken off.

Great performance by him.

It's pretty common for players coming back from an injury to play less than the full 90 minutes when they're building up their match fitness.

Allen is only 32 and has played almost 600 career matches. Not sure why so many seem keen to paint him as ready for the knacker's yard?

I don’t get that either.

and then we take him off........

First game back after long injury, was only going to get an hour.

Someone said he signalled to the bench too.
