• 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

Bottling our semi final against Portugal is a bit of a stretch. We were down on numbers after several suspensions.
To be fair I was taking Smurph's point (that every game England lost was Southgate 'bottling it') and exaggerating it for effect.
 
Last Englishman to win the Premier League (as it's now known) was Howard Wilkinson in 1992.

Bobby Robson was the last English manager to win a trophy in Europe in 1997.

Apparently they have plenty of English coaches for the job with the pedigree needed.
 
18 month contract and I reckon he'll be lucky to make it to the end with our putrid tabloid press. Some of them have already got the knives out for him, it's utterly ridiculous.

Couple of shit results and it'll be all Fawlty Towers jokes, then he'll be gone.

The timing of his appointment seems odd.
 
I think he'll win them a trophy and all the ridiculous turds that follow them won't know what to think. All those years and a German wins them something 🤣

Three Lions on the shit. Fussball nach hausse kommen.

I was quite impressed that the FA copped to that:

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said England are "not in that place" to have several homegrown managers with successful track records in contention for the national team job, but he insisted the national coaching system is a success.

"I think any federation in the world that is looking to hire a senior manager, clearly you would love to have five to 10 domestic candidates who are coaching clubs in your domestic league, challenging and winning honours in your domestic league and European football," said Bullingham.

"We are not quite in that place at the moment."

If thers a God, they'll now lose to Germany in a semi or a final. They've given us enough laughs, that will tip it over the white cliffs.

Homegrown managers with successful track records 😂

Last English manager to win a domestic trophy was Harry Redknapp in 2008.
