Christ, even the Mackems that seemed sensible are susceptible to being complete stereotypes.

 

 

 

 

Yeah, Hit Here always seemed like the sane one.

Incorrect. They do have an identity. They like to be known as "the city by the sea" these days, although just from this season. Once that novelty wears off it'll be something else....

 

Actually hang on a minute. You're spot on. They do have no identity. They never have. They even tried to turn the name "mackem" from what was always a derogatory term as a piss take of a disgusting accent into some form of positive identity for them.

 

Their stadium name is stolen from a far more illustrious club from another Country (who we play on Tuesday) and even their nickname "the black cats" bears no resemblance to their club. 

 

When you think about it you can see why they are aways in a state of anger and are consumed by hatred. I dare say I'd be the same if I'd been unfortunate enough to support them.

 

The City by the Sea? Like they think they're the only one?

Was stood behind one of them in the passport queue when we went on holiday in August and "city by the sea" was stitched into the back of his top. Tbh I didn't have a clue which team it was (was their away top) till I seen it from the front.

 

Ironic really as it's the sea that they blame for having a far smaller fanbase than Newcastle.

And so full of their shit shouldnt swim in it

Never understood why the Kane Gang didn't endure and sell more. Really liked them. Great sound.

Then and Prefab Sprout. Great bands. Are they linked to Sunderland? Recall they were both on a Newcastle record label.

Paddy McAloon is a Newcastle fan. There’s a radio interview where he starts talking about Micky Quinn scoring for us that afternoon

The Kane Gang were Mackems?

They were all Sunderland supporters like.

BBC did an Andy Cole goals medley to "Gun Law" when he was with us and advertised the Blackburn cup game in 95 to "Closest Thing To Heaven".

The forerunner to RTG dives in Sunderland must have been positively agog

Ah fuck off, making yourself look stupid & ignorant cos you read it on RTG he had never been to a game & turned up in an alleged "Borrowed jacket" honestly who gives a fuck man ya poisonous insignificant tit. 

 

 

 

‘Poisonous’ is a bit far

 

He did turn up in a borrowed jacket.

 

And I’ve been to two of his gigs. I’ve seen the Sad Mackem Bastard signs etc. 

 

Don’t know why you’ve all got your knickers in such a twist

How could you possibly even know this you bitter little bastard?

 

I'd also like proof of his gigs being "awash" with anti Sunderland flags otherwise you'll be called out for the lying bastard that you are I'm afraid.

Wow

I don’t mind admitting that he does irk me somewhat.

 

For me it was when he turned up on This Morning in a borrowed jacket claiming he’s a dyed in the wool Newcastle fan despite never attending a game ever and every subsequent gig he’s ever done is now awash with anti Sunderland flags.

 

Aside from that I quite enjoy his music, genuinely.

Imagine getting pressed by Sam Fender. Absolute terminal derangement. Don’t like it? Go and watch the futureheads or whatever dog shit landfill indie that’s come out of Sunderland.

Fucking hell they must have won. He's straight on here.

Villa fans don’t whinge about the streets, Man U fans don’t whinge about oasis. It’s an absolutely insane way to live your life.

 I said ‘irks’

 

Literally that was all I said

 

Then I’ve had a load of dogs abuse, when there’s really no need.

 

I’ve been to the gigs, I’ve seen it. But I’m apparently a bitter lying bastard or a poisonous little oik. So make of that what you will. 
 

I like The Futureheads. They’re alright, so is that lad who did the theme to STID.

Man from Newcastle supports Newcastle? It’s an insane thing to even be bothered about with a band/artist. If limp bizkit came out tomorrow in Sunderland themed boiler suits it wouldn’t have literally any effect on me. Who the fuck cares lol. Just don’t go to the gigs if you can’t handle a few flags. Plenty of better music out there than Sam Fender.

You said he'd never been to a Newcastle match. Explain how you know this.

 

You said his gigs are all anti Sunderland. Explain that.

 

If you can't we can confirm that you are a bitter little lying bastard.

Typical mackem bullshitter, you have got the hint off others, so why don't you just fuck off. You're a bit like Teddy in that you're not seen for months and then all of a sudden appear. You keep whinging about abuse, like you have previously many times, so why don't you just go away with your bullshit and then you won't have to cry anymore

What’s funny about it to me, is I’ve literally never heard a Villa fan be like “Mike Skinner never went to St Andrew’s” it’s only this lot that get twisted up about fictional scenarios they invent

I just like calling out lies and untruths. If you've got a problem with that then that's tough shit really mate. If the lad can back himself up I'll back down immediately of course.

He's another gormless cunt who thinks typing "rattled" counts as patter. Tbf it did in 2010 on skunkers and groomers but it's now 2025.

 

Anyway fair play to them for another win today. He'll be one of those who's glad to see them up to get his derby back I suspect.

Because you are lying perhaps?

[Kid Icarus]

Fender gigs are very much a celebration of Newcastle. An alien concept to a fanbase that largely defines themselves by who they're not.
