yeah right, Belfast have hardly started building there roster and were at least as good as Shef, then add to it that noone knows what the Mancs and Vipers might pull out the hat, Cov have had two good seasons out of the four they have been involved in (top flight) and now they seem to think there a giant of British hockey, the way hes going the skydome will have to widen there doors because big head wont be able to get in

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It could be selective quoting and be nothing more than a great big Sheffield-Coventry love in.
I await with anticipation for an article leading with Matsos saying how talented Coventry will be this year
;D

blaze will probably win the league but sheffield wot get anything i dont think imho Blaze were average last season, and the fact that Belfast collapsed so badly mid season gave Covetnry a good crack at the league as they stuttered as well late on. If they keep the majority of their squad from last season i dont think they will retain At the moment its impossible to tell who's going to to win anything, It's just Paul Thompson puttign the pressure on Matsos a rookie coahc early and taking attention away from the current champions to relieve the pressure on themselves.

How can you tell Blaze will win the league?! So far they have replaced their leading British player over the last 5 years with Cowley, lost Reid Simonton to retirement, and are rumoured to be keeping a HUGE core of players from last season.
Now if that's anything to go by I'd say it makes coaches aware of ways to beat them...

Sheffield propaganda. Don't even dignify them by commenting. Most teams have barely started recruiting.

I'm not even going to think about who's going to win the league until January.

Remember this is the same Thompson who spat his dummy out when Ashley Tait signed for Steelers. His quote was along the lines of: I can't understand why he (Tait) has signed for Sheffield, they are not geared up to win trophiesThe most embarrsing thing is that they put Thompsons love-in quotes on their offical website. The whole Shuff organisation feels insecure unless Thompson says something nice about them, hes like their (or should I say Simms) comfort blanket. Its pathetic. Gawd I do feel sorry for Steelers fans. Anyway if Shuff and Chave win nowt we can all have a good laugh about it HL

Where did Thommo say "I see Sheffield as our main threat next season" ?? He only says they will be challenging. And there'll be 3 or 4 teams challenging more than likely. Nowhere did he say they look stronger than the team Nottingham are putting together. Creative headlining from Simmys there.

Sheffield & Coventry
2 bulls*** artists, no waiting
In the current vernacular... "am I bovvered?"
Still 3 months to go, and 10 teams in the league - all of whom have the potential for a surprise or three. Anyone (and that includes us) who makes any kind of real assumption at this stage is talking tosh.

I think a joint effort by both Thompson and Simms whilst they are playing a 'big-mates' over the summer. Sadly some of the Shuff fans really believe whats put on the Official site. Honest its true...
