Right down to turning to shit on the field, although of course, they had to take that another level. We even gifted them their proper nick name. You didn't here it much before '92 imo. The were referred to as mackems plenty enough before 1992 if that's what you're referring to? If you mean self referral then you're not far wrong. A few of the older ones might not have been too keen on that nickname as it was definitely a slur, particularly for those on both sides who worked in the yards.

Yes, we've been through this before, it was used down your neck of the wood in Swans, but not much outside of that I don't think personally. Then John Hall (who strangely was an MLF according to them) said something about a Geordie nation, and they collectively pissed themselves and clung on to the only term that existed that differentiated them from us, an insult invented by us. So yes, even their real nickname comes from us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42391 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 My old man and Grandad called them mackems- Grandad shuffled in 1976. Washington Mags the pair of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6582 Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) I’ve introduced my boy to the backstory of mackems and Sunderland. He keeps mistakenly calling them Maggots Close enough Son. Edited October 13, 2023 by Holden McGroin 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 (edited) I for one am absolutely shocked the mackems are using recent tragic events to point score, not just that but making sweeping generalizations and massive assumptions to make those points. They must all be absolutely buzzing now they think they have cover to be racist as fuck openly. The Saudi takeover was simultaneously the best and worst thing to happen to them.

They're obsessed over there with expanding their stadium so it has more seats than SJP, a la Bob Murray. Has it ever even sold out once since their last derby against us? Anyway, it can't happen according to this ITK. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Screwfix- “ Here’s some special shit-proof screws to fix your pink seats, but the deal is you can only use these particular screws… … even if we stop making them” Mackems- “ Sooo, if you stop making them, we can’t put anymore seats in, or replace the ones we have?” Screwfix- “ Correct” Mackems- “ Where do we sign?” Not even they would be that ridiculous, would they? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
