• 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

If a professional athlete isn't fit, we shouldn't be signing them.
 
It's funny because Bidwell was deemed unfit. Fine for Coventry, a stalwart in fact.

Similar for Whittaker, Walsh, Obafemi.

There's a theme. It's all about levels and intensity. Look at WBA warming up pre match and at half time. It's another world to our kick about.

Bidwell always looked like he was running in treacle 😂
 
Rubin Providence has signed for Almere City. Unless there's something I'm missing, this whole saga with him is bizarre. Almere are a very small club.

They are in the Eredivisie though, its a bit like signing for Luton when in the prem.....kind of anyway.
We only seen 15 mins of him in a friendly against Rio Ave, who were probably only half arsing it, as their season was about to start.
If, us and Oxford have both not offered him anything, there's probably a good reason why.

The theme is teachers pets start and play no matter what, regardless if they are completely sub-standard and stealing a living.

The attitude, and examples set by the coaching team, breed mediocrity. We need to ship on dead wood and not have this nostalgic/idyllic ideology and keep/force players into the team who clearly aren't at the level of others.
 
We narrowly missed out on two loanees at the 11th hour, by all accounts. One of which was a proper sprinkle of EPL stardust.

Doubtful whether we can now plug that same gap, but never say never, apparently.

Not to doubt you, but this sounds like the kind of thing a football club leaks to try and appease fans when things are not going well.

Not to doubt you either, but that's the kind of twp thing insecure twps say.

We missed out, it happens, not for the want of trying our level best.

Not that it would make any difference now, but wonder who it was? (who they were)?!
