I was struggling for a Sunderland celeb. Chris Hughes from Love Island supports you but don’t think he’s from there.
Yeah I'm a Geordie. Unlike thousands of Newcastle fans who attend SJP and call themselves Geordies but aren't from Tyneside #Plastics
@remembercolinlee comes from Woolwich / Plumstead too He can't sing 'Woolwich is full of ****' when he goes to Spuds home games
At the Sunderland games we used to banter between ourselves. The Sunderland lads would chant 'Mackems' and the Geordie lads would chant 'Geordies' straight back at them. There's loads of Mackems go to SJP and support Newcastle. It's got nothing to do with the team you support just you gullible bastards have fell for the Sky TV patter
I grew up in South London and would often go and watch West Ham, Chartlon, Palace, Millwall when Arsenal were playing up North and I couldn't get tickets. The rivalry is real, but there was never any bother about going and standing in the home end of different clubs as long as you weren't there to cause trouble. That said, would never have entertained ever going in the home end of Spurs or Chelsea. That would have been a step too far. A betrayal.
We only have the two clubs up here so I've never been in a position where I could go and watch another club. That sounds alien to me. I suppose I'd probably see it differently if it was familiar growing up. I'd rather stick my knob in a bucket of acid than stand with the Newcastle fans at a footy match.
Some of the old timers I used to talk to at Arsenal said that growing up around the Severn Sisters Rd they would go and watch Spurs and Arsenal play depending on who was at home, there wasn't really the fan rivalry back then, that only came later in the 60s and 70s Where I grew up, loads of my mates would support different London clubs, so it was just a case of going to watch games with them if I couldn't get to an away game for Arsenal. But like you, I would never have entertained standing with a load of scummy yids or Chavs.
Only ever been to one Sunderland match. My younger brother supports them and he needed a lift to the match. https://rokerreport.sbnation.com/20...-1992-lions-tamed-by-six-of-the-best-at-roker Wasn't fun doing pretend celebrations six ****in times.
Yeah that used to happen back in the 50"a down here when it wasn't so easy to travel up the country when either club was up north. The rivalry only really developed the following decade.
**** you...I live in Plumstead...completely separate place to Woolwich ,.. On Christmas day me and Mrs RCL went for a walk in Plumstead after dinner... a car speed's up the road as a bloke runs across...the car brakes... they **** each other off and then the driver shouts "go suck yer mum" ... when we sell up and move we're gonna tell any ****er buying it that those kind of things are Street theatre
'Go suck yer mum' Never heard that one before. We put our fingers under people's noses up here and say 'smell ya ma'
