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

And the key tonight was we didnt drop when we went a goal down, we kept the pressure up and got our reward
Shame about that flag right at the end

Steve Cooper was very happy with what he saw from his Swansea City side at Brentford, and admitted the only thing missing was the three points.
The Swans produced an excellent display in west London, and had control of proceedings for long periods on their first visit to the Brentford Community Stadium.
Andew Ayew, Kyle Naughton and Connor Roberts had all been denied by Bees keeper David Raya, before the hosts took the lead against the run of play through in-form striker Ivan Toney.
But the Swans persevered and got their reward when Andre Ayew turned in Matt Grimes’ cross with 13 minutes remaining.
It briefly looked as though the Ghanaian had won it at the death as he headed home a Roberts’ free-kick, but the flag was up for offside.
Nevertheless, there were a number of positives for head coach Cooper to take from this showing against last season’s beaten play-off finalists.
“There was not too much celebration when Andre headed in at the end as we saw the flag go up, but it was not just about that as we created enough chances in the game to win it,” said the Swansea boss.
“Their keeper made some brilliant saves first half, we got down the sides of them and made chances, and then got the goal in the second half.
“So, it is not about whether the free-kick was on or offside, it was about the chances we created in the game.
“I thought we were much the better team. If you think about it, Freddie has not had a save to make and the goal was something he could not do anything about.
“But I was pleased that, after going 1-0 down, we did not let it affect us. If anything it spurred us on, and we were excellent for the remainder of the game.
“I thought it was only a matter of time before we equalised and then, from that, go and win the game.
“I thought there was only going to be one winner in the game, that’s for sure, and it was going to be us.
“Unfortunately we did not quite get it, but performance-wise all we can be is pleased although you do come away a little frustrated you haven’t got the three points.”
