They're just... noisier. In both a good and bad way.They're not 'noisier' or in any way better than us or any other set of fans - that's just the myth peddled by our lazy, 10th rate media who choose to propagate the cliche that both Geordies and Liverpool fans are somehow 'special' and more connected to their clubsWhen morbidly obese Geordies take their tops off in the freezing cold it's considered a sign of passion, rather than being evidence that a small proportion of their number are learning disabled alcoholicsAnd when Liverpool fans blather on about their "great history", tell us that Klu Klux Kenny is a "legend" and "part of the fabric of the club", and endlessly trot out the "we're still a huge club" line, it's interpreted as evidence of their greater footballing knowledge, and enhanced, almost spiritual support, when in fact they are just being mawkishly sentimental, delusional and hopelessly out of touch with modern reality
