Blimey, I don't remember it being poisonous. I think we were furious at the penalty decisions both given and not given, however even though it was massively disappointing, I really couldn't describe it as being poisonous.
What I would say is that if you do a league table from Dec 28th till now, Burnley are 3rd only scoring 1 point less than MU and 3 points less than City. They've scored 3 more points than Spurs. 4 more points than Liverpool over the last 8 games.
They are without a shadow of a doubt the inform side outside of the Manchester clubs. Perspective for any fan that did turn on the team.
Poisonous is too strong, but there were certainly a variety of responses to the game, and too much silence. I'm in the south side of the WSU in line with the goalline.
