• 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

Jesus!
Some obsessiveness on here!

I have sympathy for the girls who have ended relationship with some of you over the years given the reaction some of you are showing over a man in his 30s who once managed our club.

Quite disturbing.
There's a true say
And now I don’t think I’ve ever read a stupider thing on the internet. And imagine the competition for that.
They are both deluded managers that think their station is way above what their ability merits. They bullshit clubs with their so called football philosophy. Think that's a fair assessment of both , don't you? Don't forget Martinez got given Belgiums golden generation of footballers, and made a complete and utter shitshow in major tournaments with them.
 
Jesus Christ I feel like I'm in a parallel universe sometimes.

Regardless of what you think about Martinez after he left us, he's probably the single most important figure at the club in the last 25 years. The way he transformed the entire culture of the club after Kenny Jackett was astounding. He thought big and he produced probably the best team to watch that most of us have ever seen. Without his vision we'd have never got to the PL. Yes he was a dick the way he left but it doesn't detract from the job he did here.

It's insane, the levels of disrespect being shown to him here.
 
I like Luke Williams, he is doing an exellent job under the circumstances.
Unfortunately, one or 2 mistakes/poor performances and the knives will come out quicker than you can say "Russell Martin is a fraud"
Yeah but do you like Lukey as much as the twps who simply can’t let go :
‘Good looking boy is Russell....i can see why some are not letting go 😉

It’s as clear as the sunniest of sunny days in sunny SA1-by-Sea that the twp few remaining Martinistas are the thickest, most gullible, most influenced, most challenged twps on all planets Swans.

Daps, at the vanguard of the twps, as per.

He tarnished his legacy at the club with all that nonsense about being forced out as player to then jump ship at the earliest opportunity to Wigan.

Since his days at Everton his record is pretty mediocre.

Did he show any respect for the club when he left. He would have taken everything with him that wasn't nailed down. Of course we are all appreciative of what he started here, but i don't think he would have taken us to the Premier league. Is he as good a manager as he believes, NO . Is he a slimeball, Absolutely.
 
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger fraud in professional football.
Fraud - Is it ok to say that out loud ?

Maybe best to define Fraud - Fraud to the fans, his employers, his squad, the backroom staff, potential new employers ……

Most certainly not a fraud to proper, more insightful fans who saw through him from the outset. A flawed system, process, and most importantly a flawed, bonkers playing identity.

Marc Wilmots had the 'golden generation' before Martinez and did no better than quarter finals in two tournaments (including getting spanked by little old Wales in 2016). Martinez certainly flopped at the end, but also delivered their best ever World Cup performance (third in 2018).
 
The concept of a "Golden generation" is a load of old bollocks anyway.

I remember England had one of those once. Never got further than a QF.

It's usually shorthand for "overhyped to kingdom come"
 
Considering Oxford and Wolves sacked Managers this weekend and Rooney on the brink how long will RM last?
