• 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

I think I heard that we haven't conceded a goal from open play since Ipswich on February 17th...it's also the last game we conceded more than one goal. I know I've guaranteed we'll concede at least 2 Saturday, both from open play, so forgive me...

It's only right I take my share of the blame as well.
 
Still an improvement on Fulton.
If Walsh starts he'll be lucky to last until half time, he may have ability but he's been a shocking waste of a contract.
If Williams doesn't trust Patino to play instead of Fulton stick Abdulai in there.
 
Watch back the second goal yesterday, if anyone ever says it again that Darling is our best defender then they should be laughed out of town. He's as shite as the next man.

All 4 of our available centre backs should be prosecuted under the Trade Descriptions Act, they're an absolute fucking joke. All of them.

I don't believe I've ever said Darling is our best defender, but I do believe he gives 100% commitment more often than not, and therefore has a better claim to the captain's armband than Grimes does. I have been critical of Darling's defensive abilities in the past but I've definitely warmed to him this season. Whereas Wood, who is technically a better player, rarely gives the impression of giving a fuck. Just my opinion.

I'm at the point where I've had it up to here with Grimes and his apathy and his walking pace and the fact he's an on-pitch mute. I would bench him for two or three games just to see if it winds him up or actually manages to locate a pulse on him, so I find it hard to disagree with your captaincy assessment there.

But, really, what a bloody mess we're in if that's the best available option to us. A flimsy, weak centre back who often looks like Bambi on ice is our best option to be this side's on pitch leader. I mean, Jesus Christ.
