Baggies, Geordies and the like

[A-J-A-X]

I was just curious what the nicknames for all the different clubs are.

For example, I gather that:

Geordie = Newcastle United supporter/player/etc
Baggie = Everton supporter/player/etc
Gooner = Arsenal supporter/player/etc
Ajacied = Ajax supporter/player/etc

are there any others? Just curious. It would be nice to compile a list of the nicknames of certain teams...

:)

[Colm]

West Brom are the baggies ;)

[Colin Bell the King]

Geordies = Newcastle
Mackems = Sunderland
Scousers = Liverpool/Everton/Tranmere (only cause Tranmere dont like it :D)
Mancs = Man United/Man City/Stockport/Oldham/Rochdale
Gooners = Arsenal
Yids = Tottenham
Smoggies = Middlesbrough
Brummies = Birmingham/Aston Villa
Baggies = West Brom
Dingles = Wolverhampton
Hammers = West Ham

Loads more, but those are the most commonly known ones.

Tha dunna ha t' support Maggies t' be a Geordie, but if tha dunna want a guud bashing like, it's guud idea like.

Properly, Geordies are those fortunate persons who reside in the Tyneside region of Northumberland, whose ancestors supported George I & II in opposition to the Scots Jacobites who were more in favor in the 18 Century.

Thez nowt what puts a Geordie more chuffed like than a pint o' dog an seein the Toon kick them Mackems int Tyne, like.

just to clarify, geordies, mackems, brummies & scousers are regional and the names have nothing to do with the football clubs.
Smoggies and Dingles are derogatory names used by fans of their rivals.

Geordie is almost English. I think Tynesiders would agree.
