Yeah but mackems though! What big matches have Sunderland had in the last decade?! That is a hard one!I feel like that every time Sunderland play. But occasionally, very rarely, if I start watching them in a big match where they are clearly underdogs, I find myself going ‘come on you makem b***ds!’ and I start rooting for them. It feels dirty and wrong and like I’m cheating on my partner, but it happens against my will.
Maybe it’s just a North East thing? I just love the North East me, and North East people. Living down south made me realise how decent the majority of Makems and Geordies actually are too. And how little we have to cheer apart from our football teams.

To give them their due, ReadyToGo gets a 33-page thread about anything. It's a very well-supported siteVery nice of them to have a 33 page thread about a team they definitely aren't bothered about...
Ditto ! but I think Diche is the reason, can't stand the gob shoite.I don’t think I would. Honestly don’t think we have any proper rivals. Except Burnley, I F***ing hate Burnley.
I dont understand that one bit, fair enough people can dislike who they please but to live in an area you say you hate, strange sad characterWhat's the score with the poster on there called Hank Williams? What a bizarre character he seems. Lives in Eston and for a long time but has a persona of hating Boro. What a bloody idiot.
They wind him up by saying he's a Boro fan, so to counter that he goes out of his way to display his hatred for us. It's one of the reasons many of them responded to the thread he started by saying "Up the Boro".What's the score with the poster on there called Hank Williams? What a bizarre character he seems. Lives in Eston and for a long time but has a persona of hating Boro. What a bloody idiot.
Stinks of trying too hard to be accepted- immature foolI dont understand that one bit, fair enough people can dislike who they please but to live in an area you say you hate, strange sad character

At rush hour it’s alot quicker to Middlesbrough from Sunderland than NewcastleSunderland is about 25 minutes from Teesside if the traffic is good, but of course Boro are not rivals!
