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

Great thread with buckets of stats and facts all in our favour.
Pity we can't be there to see us stuff it up them. One of the worst bunch of fans to visit the Liberty last season.

Good bunch of fans they were in the Brunswick (Derby) last season. Good bit of banter and a laugh at the bouncers on the way out.

Disturbingly confident about this one.
Derby have picked up a bit but even by their own fans admission they're lacking in the final third. Our backline has been excellent this season so we should, in theory, keep them out. If Lowe has finally found his shooting boots then we can win this with the same kind of ease as Saturday.
Cue Derby taking all three points.

It's turned into a must win if we have ambitions of a top 2 finish.

Swansea City: Steve Cooper's miserly team aim to defend with the ball
BBC Sport
Swansea City's tally of 10 goals conceded in 18 Championship games this season makes them the meanest team in the country.
They already have 10 league clean sheets in 2020-21 - only three short of their tally for the whole of the last campaign - yet their style is not defensive.
Head coach Steve Cooper, like a number of his recent Swansea predecessors, wants to defend by keeping the ball.
"If we get it right, if we play well, you will see a team that's dominating possession, playing high up the pitch, trying to score goals and working as hard as they can," Cooper said.
"We want to keep clean sheets and I don't think many coaches will think 'let's concede today lads and try to score more than we concede'.
"But listen, we want to play with the ball and manage games with the ball."
Swansea have conceded fewer goals than any other EFL club in the opening three months of the season.
Tottenham Hotspur can match their record of 10 league goals conceded, although the Premier League leaders have played only 12 top-flight games.
Swansea's resilience is all the more notable given that they sold Wales defender Joe Rodon to Tottenham in October having lost two more centre-backs, Mike van der Hoorn and Ben Wilmot, at the end of last season.
But Ryan Bennett has proved a fine replacement for Rodon after joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers, while on-loan Chelsea youngster Marc Guehi looks a Premier League player in waiting.
Academy product Ben Cabango appears capable of following Rodon to the top flight, while experienced full-back Kyle Naughton has found a new home in Cooper's back three with Connor Roberts and Jake Bidwell thriving as wing-backs.
In goal, Freddie Woodman continues to impress having returned to Swansea on a second season-long loan from Newcastle United.
Swansea's central midfielders - the likes of Matt Grimes, Jay Fulton and Korey Smith - have played a part too, yet Cooper is a coach who wants his team to impose themselves rather than worry about what opponents might do.
"The last game (last Saturday's 2-0 win at Cardiff) for example, we're 1-0 up at half-time, but the message wasn't 'see this out', it was 'this is a chance to go and score some more goals'," Cooper said.
"I think if we just sit off, it doesn't suit our mentality. If anything it creates a bit of worry and indecision.
"If we are winning 1-0, we want to go 2-0."
The next test for Swansea's rearguard comes on Wednesday evening at Derby County, whose tally of eight goals scored is the lowest in the Championship.
The first challenge for Cooper's players will be to ensure their mentality is right following the high of south Wales derby success.
"I've made that point very clear with the boys - just make sure we're absolutely full on with our concentration and commitment to the next game," Cooper said.
