• 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

That tends to be the Chalice. Get them promoted golden boy lose a few and bang. Liverpool could on their day to be fair could smash the weaker teams. They've got Wolves tomorrow winnable game. Whoever comes in now will have to work with what they've got with the window shutting tomorrow.
And Jackfath our Russ wouldn't take it he's learned lesson here by not having a Pre season with his squad.
 
He hasn't helped himself by criticising the owners and saying his team isn't good enough to compete. It may be true but he's pretty much asked to be sacked.

I’d like to confirm to Mr Maxim Demin that Russ Martin is ace. Just look at the passing stats. You want some of that Max don’t you. 3rd best in Europe. G’wan son, you know you want to. GO ON.

It's a win win
 
Even in the Championship Bournemouth had a leaky defence and relied on buying up every attacking talent they could from the Championship to get back into the Prem.

No surprise to see them being punished mercilessly by higher calibre teams with strikers who earn more in a week than our entire playing squad combined.
 
The Premier League will throw up more mismatches.
I fancy Man City to hit 10 soon.

Haaland is the best striker in the league without a doubt, his stats are absurd for someone who is only 22 (I think?) and will only get better over the next five to eight years.

Liverpool however I feel have the strongest and most cohesive attack overall, City are going to rely very heavily on the de Bruyne-Haaland axis for results this season while Liverpool have threats all over the pitch.
 
Let's say it like it is. Scotty Pawka is a shite manager. He's had two jobs where he's been spoilt rotten and hasn't been able to really cut the mustard. The fact they huffed and puffed to secure promotion when they should have walked it like Fulham the quality of squad they had last season, proves Fulham were 100% right to give the cockerney smart Alec his marching orders. I dare say, old Russy would almost have taken Bournemouth up last season. I did say almost.

Money in the bank. He signed a 3 year contract last summer.

Best job bar none. Few months work for 3 or 4 years pay. Wouldn't we all love that.

You don’t have to like or even respect the bloke but he’s got two relegated teams promoted back to the Premier League, and that’s more than most managers will achieve in a lifetime, let alone a couple of years in to their managerial careers. Credit where it’s due.
 
Did the same at Fulham , picked a row with the owners and got paid off.
File under Monk impersonator .
