Even though the numbers in your post weren't correct, the implication that England was streets ahead of the rest when it came to the number of different teams that have competed in Europe wasn't wrong:


🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (40): Man Utd, Wolves, Burnley, Tottenham, Ipswich, Everton, Liverpool, Man City, Leeds, Arsenal, Derby, Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Blackburn, Newcastle, Chelsea, Leicester, Southampton, Stoke, QPR, West Bromwich, Watford, Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich, West Ham, Fulham, Millwall, Middlesbrough, Bolton, Portsmouth, Birmingham, Wigan, Hull, Burnley, Brighton, Sunderland, Coventry, Wimbledon, Crystal Palace & Bradford

So add Swansea. Take away Bradford and Wimbledon as it was the Intertoto. I make that 33 clubs have more European pedigree than them - so joint 34th with Coventry and Hull. Some going that.

Funny as fuck how they're all slagging Sheff Utd off for 'stealing' their automatic promotion place (8 points ahead despite being docked 2 points). 

It would be an even more substantive argument if they were third.  But they’re fourth.

Totally agree and after the first quarter of the season they were five points clear. I know most club supporters overate their team, but they go on as if they have the next Busby babes. Bellingham is living off his brother's name and Rigg has looked average when I've seen him play. Their goal contributions bear this out also. They're young so that may change, but for them to keep stating generational talent is just laughable currently. They are 4th in probably the worst championship there has been in years.

The main demarcation between Sun'lun fans and Newcastle fans is now very clear to me.

 

All Sun'lun fans go to the match whereas hardly any Newcastle fans do.

(oh and we all stink)

 

I live in Gateshead near to Heworth Metro, we have one Sunderland fan in our street.  He is perfectly fine, a nice neighbour and a decent bloke.  Often takes my bin in for me on a Friday once the binmen have been around.  However, he doesn't go to the match.....  I simply cannot figure it out!

Amazing how (according to mackems) all sunderland fans go to the match, yet they always have thousands of empty seats available for every game. Are they simply admitting here that they don't really have many fans?

Their geography obsession never ceases to amaze me. Looking at the north east and designating which towns et al are MLF strongholds as if it’s a Total War map. Utterly mental.


You go to some of our nicer suburbs e.g. Gosforth, Jesmond, Benton and it’s not uncommon to see a few Sunderland shirts knocking about because most people don’t care that much really. Possibly more of a less traditional NE demographic but very attractive to upwardly mobile mackems who want to live somewhere where diversity isn’t a dance ensemble and they’re unlikely to bump into Tommy Robinson or false anti immigrant rape marches. 
 

i don’t see many around Walker / Wallsend but the odd time you do equally no one cares either. Saw one lad wherein his top in the county once think he was working nearby and a few of the locals after a bit of piss taking bought his pints all afternoon.

 

i could be wrong (but based on my limited evidence of seeing a lass from Hendon many years ago) sitting on an estate bar on your own wearing our colours might not go down so well :-D

 

TL: DR

 

Durham Mags = spawn of Satan

Great park / Morpeth Mackems - MLF behind enemy lines - great crack

One of them bumped into a plastic mag in a wood in Devon. Pages of outrage already.


They really don’t understand that until you realise the person you’re speaking to is from the same local area it would be natural to name a place that the average person had heard of when asked where you’re from and you narrow it down based on your perception of what will mean something tangible to the other. 
 

If an American asked where I was from I’d say England, if a Londoner asked I’d say Newcastle and if someone from South Shields asked I’d say Walker. If someone from Daisy Hill asked I’d tell then what street I lived on. It’s not rocket science!

Reality is they've always been 2nd fiddle, when sky did that most watched team in each region in 2015, County Durham, north Tyneside and South tyneside was all Newcastle.

 

Theres a weird assumption that all Newcastle fans don't go to matches whereas they are all die hards.. it's not unusual for fans to move to Devon etc from north east either, I moved down South and my kids will be black and white, likewise bloke 2 doors ups parents are from Consett and him and his kids travel up like me for home games. But no narrative is they Saudi bandwagoners...

Mackem north east geography goes as follows;

 

- If you were not born in NE1 and reside there or the less affluent areas of the west end (so they can point fun at them) then you are not a Geordie. See their claims as an example that Sam Fender is not a Geordie as he is from North Shields.

 

- Any Newcastle fans living in parts of County Durham or Tyne & Wear equidistant between the two rivers are plastics who never go to games. They switched allegiances in 1992 or 2021 as Kevin Keegan or MbS went around door knocking handing out free Sky dishes or dodgy boxes whilst declaring the North Sea was retreating so it was okay to support Newcastle.

 

- The bridges over the Tyne: all of them are in Gateshead. None of them are in Newcastle.

 

I feel like there’s a few more that I’ve missed but can’t remember them off the top of my head.
