The term "Mackem" is not a football one though - it was coined originally as an insult by the Geordies wasn't it. Being a Sunderland supporter does not make you a mackem. You'd think the Sunderland Echo would know this!!
i am a sand dancer but it don't bother me either way if i am called a mackem or a Geordie. People down here don't really know the difference and most of em have never heard of a sandy.
What you don;t see in that photo is the black and white striped flagstone - this is where the dog ****es!
