they are not the same. every single person has their own identity but that does'nt mean we should shun them. i worked in london and our local pub was ran by a wrexham lad and a cockney who's mum was from the dingle and they were no different from your normal LFC fan.
It's only natural people would want to be with people they have things in common with, I cant believe people would try to say otherwise. Liverpool people are like nobody else in the country in my opinion which is shared by most, we are famous for being unique, it's what made the Club so special all those years ago. I think all the hard times the City has faced over the years has made it's people stronger, we have always had it's us against the world mentality and to be fair we have had to be like that when the rest of the Country seen us in such a bad light. There is no way on earth we are the same people as thse from other Cities like Manchester, Birmingham, London or Newcastle who are all special as well in there own way...
