I used to know someone from there as well, he was worse than your old flatmate. He used to ring up from his kitchen listening to the radio on E and told us he was clubbing. He also rode through the beach on his BMX and said that the snakes were trying to get him.

Blackpool and hard drugs - the worst possible combination

As you say, it's a great place to go for a day out too. Ideally you just wanna drop all your commitments and spend a weekend there. Haven't done that for a while myself, although I'll have a good excuse to if they get promoted today.

Is Syndicate still open?

It's been a few years since I last had a night out in Blacky.

Here's hoping Blackpool get promotion.

Yeah, Syndicate's still alive, well, open and as mind-bogglingly huge as it ever was. Great place.

Oh, and...

Revealed: Joe Cole has signed a contract to join Arsenal after World Cup 2010 - Is Joe Cole the right man for Arsenal? - Is Joe Cole the right man for Arsenal? - Goal.com

Cole and Van Persie linking up together at Arsenal could certainly be something worth seeing!

I wanted him.

right-track · 06-20-2010, 12:16 PM

so did I. I was hoping his friendship wit Rio and Rooney would have swung the deal.
The source looks less than official though.
Maybe there's still hope?

Maybe, Fergie has definitely been an admirer. But he is a ****ney lad, played his football down south, family down south.. why uproot and move?

He seems like the type of player we'd go for, cheap, a bit injured and getting on a bit.

But he's definitely a class act, 3 good seasons worth out of him yet.

I felt certain he would be going to Spurs with his history with Redknapp & everything.
If it's true he's going to Arsenal I'd say that's a massive blow for Spurs, he's just the type of player they need to sign if they're going to consolidate that 4th place spot.

TheCunningStunt · 07-20-2010, 11:04 AM

I'm so excited for the new season. I'm particularly excited to see what United players will step up. If we stay injury free and Hernandez has a good season, we could regain the title.

I'm excited to see who will step up.

Nani stepped up last season, I expect him to continue his progress and get even better.
Obertan, I expect an improvement from him.
Anderson, 1 last season or he needs to be sold. I really hope he can show why we paid for him this season.
Gibson, he could become a great midfielder, he has goals at the moment. He just needs to improve his all round game.

As well as them, we have an exciting youth system.

Really excited for the new season, I can't wait until Paul Pogba is the right age. He looks like a really great player.
