• 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

Leeds United.

Was going to have a bet on them to go down in mid December but they were only 14/1.
Leeds and Brentford don't do well after mid season. I think one of them will go down with Norwich and Watford.
Bielsa's teams are good to watch but they seem to burn players out/injuries incurred with the way they play. Not sure why he gets so much adulation.

Same goes for Guardiola.
 
I'd swap him with Martin tomorrow. You don't get a stadium named after you for nothing!
 
Ridiculous decision.
When are these clubs outside the top 6 going to realise that finishing 17th with limited finance and limited players giving it their all is an achievement in the PL.

I have to be honest the PL is boring to me.

Not quite sure why neutral fans dislike him so much. Must be a reaction to all the praise he gets.

He got Leeds back into the PL after many, many managers had failed to do so, then had them playing some amazing football last season which made them easily one of the best teams to watch in that division (and this is coming from someone who has never liked that football club). Now he's experiencing that difficult second season, lost probably his most important player in Phillips and it's all gone pear-shaped.

Compare it to us when we went up. We finished 11th under Brendan, playing some great stuff and getting plenty of praise. Ditto Leeds last season, but they finished 9th. Now imagine Brendan had stayed that summer, we lost Leon to injury in December and were only 2 points clear of the relegation places at the end of February.

Would we have been calling for Brendan to be sacked in those circumstances? Or would we feel our best chance was to keep the manager who got us promoted in the first place and hope that if we did go down, he'd be the best man to get us promoted again? I like to think it would mostly be the latter, except the fringe loonies who are never happy.

I don’t believe he needs an interpreter either.

Absolutely not, but to label him arrogant is wide of the mark in my opinion.
