My brother is married to a Mackem and I enjoy taking the piss and I also enjoy her family taking the piss. It is funny and the real fun behind a local rivalry.  

 

I cannot imagine 'hating' a football club or a bunch of people, let alone a bunch of people for the team they enjoy, or suffer,  watching. 

 

It is just bizarre. 

 

I put Sunderland till I die on our of curiosity and ended up glued to it. It was just nuts. I have recommended it to friends who don't have any interest because it is about Sunderland and they 'don't care' about them. I have tried to explain that it is fascinating car crash TV but they don't bite haha. I would have been gutted if it had been about NUFC under the Ashley era and I imagine some of the things that went on were probably equally as painful to observe. 

Thanks for the view

There’s always a small amount of fans that don’t like the current manager. most fans wanted him to stay.

Come on man, nobody acts like that really

 

I can assure you my friends husband (I was friends with the wife) once asked me  to step outside following a minor footy argument. Watching his wife make him apologise to me the next day, like a bairn being dragged by his lug, was funny. 

There may be Mags as bad as this but I haven't seen them.  As you lot observe, we have a superiority complex, and you definitely have an inferiority complex which can bring out the worst in some people imo. I much prefer just feeling superior, drives you nuts. :D

There's a thread here which is oozing with vitriol towards us. Really extreme stuff, the stuff were it not about football would get them added to a terrorist watch list.

I don't want to talk for anyone else, but seriously wtf man. I don't hate anyone based on their football allegiances. Some of the best people I've ever met have been mackems. There was piss taking, but it never got in the way of friendship. But then, I've also encountered real life MLFs like on the SMB who literally start slavering like a rabid dog when NUFC comes up. Offered me out for a fight based on nowt. 

I like looking on the SMB not because of hatred, but purely because I find them hilarious. The way they are so bipolar, constantly flip flopping, desperate for affirmation (which they accuse us of - wrong - I couldn't give a shit what people think of us).   They are also the personification of the David Brent of football clubs. Sunderland till I die could only have been made about that club. I still laugh when I watch it. :lol:  But hate them, naah, I don't think so. 

 

Keith the mod over there got nicked at a derby..

You could be living under a bridge this Christmas, but you’d still be having a better time than these basket cases. 

How about living in a house in Sunderland but, just for fun, camping out under one of the bridges there? That’s if there’s no roundabouts free

If I found this whopper “stealth camping” on my premises, he’d be getting a golden wake-up, just for starters. 
 

(How the fuck do you stretch a video of some skank sleeping in a car wash to over an hour? )

Like what? Walter Mitty-esque?

 

They fucking do like. I used to work with a bloke whose life, were any of it true, would be Hollywood material ten times over. 

 

Or do you mean nobody is so howl-at-the-moon mental when it comes to football they lose all sense of reason whenever their bitter rivals are mentioned? 

They do too. Just read that messageboard and the fury that pours off the screen from some regular contributors is astonishing. These are (mostly) grown men and women who cannot set aside petty partisan rivalry for a moment. People who somehow conflate supporting Sunderland with hating Newcastle. 

 

As Renton mentioned, we may well have a superiority complex when it comes to you, but we've got good fucking reason. Most of us are mid 30s to mid 50s, and for the past 20-40yrs Newcastle United have been superior to Sunderland in almost every season. Better players, better managers, better football, better finishes, better standard of competition, better crowds, just better. Of course some of us think Newcastle are better than Sunderland... we have been by pretty much every measure.
