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

They were dreadful in all honesty, the worst team to visit the stadium by a country mile.
They were very poor and another on the list of teams that haven’t been able to play their own game down here.
A lot of that is down to Matos’ gegenpress which is hurrying the opposition to play balls under pressure and resulting in them looking worse than usual. Even Coventry struggled to impose themselves on us and we should have got something there with better finishing.

A good time to play Blackburn.
The reality they are having an injury crisis.
They are missing 13 players , last night gave first starts to 3 players .
They have more players in rehab than training on the pitch .
Think how we would struggle with so many first teamers missing ?
They did OK the forward players had some good moments .
Whether when they have their injured players back they have enough quality to stay up ?

You have got to feel for the poor sods. Must be soul destroying.

There were 3 middle aged Blackburn fans in the Harvester scoffing at our team sheet saying they’d never heard of any of our players. This became apparent when one bet on Ronald to score at any time

While I don't blame them for lack of knowledge of another team in the division (I'm not sure I knew any of their players looking at the line-up), you'd have to be pretty dull to not have heard of the then joint highest scorer in the division...
Indeed. You would have thought that they'd have taken some notice when we beat them on their own ground including a worldie from Franco.

More despair for them tonight, they've dropped into the bottom three, courtesy of Pompey's hard fought point at Watford this evening.
I watched the whole match. It was played in horrible conditions throughout. Watford had a slight edge in terms of skill but Pompey made up for it with guts and fighting spirit. They look like a club determined to stay up, unlike Blackburn, who were awful last night.
As for Watford, they've got one or two tricky customers, but I think we can come away with three points later this month if we're somewhere near our best.

They were that poor they managed to score against us. Just imagine if we had a long list of injured players on the bench as they had last night.
In fairness that goal was giftwrapped to them by our players thinking we were Barcelona
Other than that the only saves Vigouroux had to make were long range efforts from outside the box
Admittedly that one time a player slalomed his way into the box only to miss the target from six yards the lad should have done better but Vigs didn't need to get his gloves dirty for that one so it doesn't count

The worst thing to say about Blackburn, is that we finished the last 20 minutes of that game with Joel Ward, Jay Fulton, Ollie Cooper, and Liam Cullen on the pitch whilst still looking the comfortably better side
