He enjoyed being called a "sad Geordie bassa" when we played Fulham in the cup a few seasons ago, going as far to comment in the post match interview that he is indeed a Geordie.

It's a no from me, had enough with Clark and Chopra. There are other players out there.

Half our support are Geordies probably. But that's for another thread <laugh>

Probably a lot less than half I reckon, as far as I'm aware the only place north of the Tyne with any significant numbers is Ashington, so you're looking at south Tyneside towns like South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn etc and they're probably more Newcastle than Sunderland these days, you can find Sunderland supporters within all the towns within the modern County Durham borders (non tyne and wear) such as Durham, Chester-le-Street, Lanchester, Bishop, Crook, Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and so on.

Dibling to Everton - Second bid rejected but has now been given permission to speak to Everton

Likely that this gets done

I think he’ll be a quality signing. He shone in the premier league for Southampton.
 
I want Dibling at Sunderland but

Everton have had a second offer for Southampton midfielder Tyler Dibbling rejected.

This offer is believed to be worth £35 million with £8 million in add-on

But think we could get better at that price

I don’t think the South Tyneside towns are far from 50/50. There’s not much in it at all.

Agree half our support won’t be Geordies, I’d probably say about 20%. Likewise, folk from areas like Peterlee and Easington are Mackems to me and there’s enough of them support Newcastle.

Interesting debate though, I remember on here people claiming that we (Geordies) aren’t as close to the club or proper supporters as those from Sunderland. You could say the Sunderland people don’t have the same passion for the derby that we do. We live and breathe it every day, every street is half Sunderland and Newcastle, same for the schools we attend and the pubs we drink in.

They’re two different cities miles apart from each other. Same for the people that live in Newcastle and North Tyneside supporting them lot. It must be like a little bubble they live in and don’t have to face their rivals when things go tits up.

Saying that, I live in Durham now and there’s definitely more Newcastle where I live. I wish we could drop the whole Mackem = Sunderland supporter. Geordie = Newcastle supporter. There’s no truth in it. It needs to be separated from football.
