Who'd be a Geordie?

... Sunderland was different. Back then they called themselves “Geordies” and took offence when we took the piss out of them with the “Mak ‘em and Tak’em” taunt. In truth this applied only to those Sunderland fans from the shipbuilding areas of Southwick and Pallion but it opened up the schism that has always existed within a support drawn from a more fragmented geographical area which endures to this day. There are Sunderland fans from South Tyneside and Durham etc with a fervent loyalty to SAFC with absolutely no affiliation, affection or even sketchiest knowledge of Sunderland as a place. That compares poorly to Newcastle, where the club and city is interchangeable, the expression The Toon applying to both club and the city centre its based in. Newcastle, as a city (always massively bonnier, more livelier a place than Sunderland ever was or ever will be) attracting a loyalty and love from those inside and outside its boundaries within its catchment area. Sunderland doesn’t have that. And never will. Aways in our shadow.

The Mrs loves her music and is on the O2 Academy mailing list thing. She was reading a newsletter from them lately and chuckling away to herself. When I asked her what was so funny, she showed me the email and it said...

"The Newcastle o2 Academy is delighted to welcome home Tyneside's own 'Futureheads'... "

:lol::lol:

Cultural thieves, indeed.
