• 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

I’ve said before when the chips are down, you need your captain more than ever, to cajole and get the troops going. Ours is like a little mouse in hiding. Offers nothing, other than a sprint to the 18 yard box to receive the ball from the keeper to then give a short risky pass to one of our defenders.
 
Egods yes.......just think of the superb job that Ash did as our captain and also Monk.
 
I grew up watching captains such as George Smith, Cornforth, Colin Irwin as well as Monk and Williams and they were all leaders in their own way. Grimes does not impose himself on a game let alone the team and we are (and have been) crying out for a leader for four years. Bennett should have been captain during Cooper’s time - he was a proper leader and wasn’t afraid to get in the referee’s ear if something wasn’t right. Grimes doesn’t have the ambition and drive to be a captain sorry .
