There were precisely TWO mackems at Blaydon comp when I went there.
First one - CDT teacher. Actually from Sunderland, decent bloke actually. For a mackem
'Mackem' #2 - contrarian little shit who 'supported' Sunderland just to try and be different, never went to one match as far as I know.
Never once seen one of these cunts wearing their colours in the Blaydon / Winlaton area. Or heard that wretched fucking accent
Edit: I know this isn't the arguement being made but I wouldn't put it past them to retcon any of this area into being some kinda former stronghold, dafties.
