• 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’ve been impressed with him according to an Wimbledon mate. Had his best game last night.
Wimbledon and Charlton will be sharing £10,000 for each day he’s away at the World Cup.
Not sure how much they paid for him, but I’m sure that will cover it. 😁

Only three more teams for Europe though and we’re getting towards the end of our most successful period. No guarantees that we’ll be back any time soon.

That’s why I fully intend to enjoy this one and not whinge about who is and isn’t in the squad. We’ve lived through a golden age in Welsh football and this World Cup is both the pinnacle and probably the end of it. So enjoy it while it’s there.
 
Just what kind of message does it send out to players like Oli, don't bother trying I think......
 
Only now realising Page is a bad manager?.. If it wasn't for Bale he would've got the boot months ago, we'll be lucky to get out of the group, especially if Bale, Ramsey and Allen will have stinkers

If Bale, Ramsey and Allen have stinkers, Pep Guardiola wouldn't be able to get us out of the group Skip.

I'd take Latibeaudierre and Sorinola over Gunter FFS

Ok, I’ll rephrase the question. What Welsh-qualified right back would you take ahead of Gunter? I genuinely can’t think of any others, apart from Rushesha who doesn’t seem to be anywhere near first team football. I guess you could take Beck to cover LWB and switch Williams to RWB if Connor gets crocked.

Bollocks, the man is a dinosaur, he was a terrible player, and a terrible manager, he's in the Kit Symons, Tony Roberts mould, rubbish footballers who are about as bright as an eclipse..

Me.
 
Looks like the selection of Jonny Williams has caused a lot of doubts .

Page seems to say it is a loyalty and good for team morale selection , can you carry one passenger in a squad of 26 who will only be used as a so called impact player , if he is good in the changing room pre game and does not throw tantrums at not being picked and backs the team all the way , yes take him .

Read somewhere Peter Crouch had so many teams in his career , many managers wanted him in their squad .
He might have been a bit of an allsorts type of player , but said to be a great asset off the field too .

I don't think Page is a very good manager either Skip. My point was that if 3 of our best players don't perform, no manager would get the team through the group stage.

What did Page mean about Allen’s injury?

“Disappointed as it could have been avoided”

What he means it's we should of signed him but not played him to keep him safe from injury. It was always a mistake for us to resign Allen, hell give us the square root of fuck all in terms of football.
 
Another dig my Page regarding Cooper.

The sooner the bloke is sacked and back managing Ton Pentre or something like that, the better.

He lost a fair bit of respect in my eyes yesterday. Not only because he didn't pick an in form Cooper and picked the likes of Colwill (zero starts this season and not fit) and J Williams (playing in league 2), but his comments.

Sounded childish and petulant. Why cause aggro now. His comment about Cooper not playing when he came to watch is was just silly. Doesn't he have other scouts? Whys he only tried to watch one of Wales most on form and promising players once?

Just bizarre.

I don't agree with his stance at all on the likes of Gunter and Williams, but I can see his reasoning behind it, but the way he's acted since then has made my mind up completely on the bloke.

Want him gone, asap.
