Manchester City supporters faced some strange criticism last week but showed it to be unfounded on Sunday.
Manchester City gave Manchester United a schooling on the pitch on Sunday and in the stands it was even more merciless.
It went down brilliantly with the team, with Haaland dancing over to choruses of 'Champions again' at the end of the game and Pep Guardiola conducting encores as the players and fans alike basked in one of their best days at a ground that has given them so much pain. Yet for all the impression they made, the best thing the 3,008 supporters did all day was to join in fully with the pre-match tributes to United legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
However, the week before Sunday's derby saw news of a small number of City supporters involved in an offensive chant about the United great. It would be naive to think that was the only example, but also the fact that those who sang it on the concourse were reported by fellow Blues and also the swift action the club took confirmed the impression that the few were not representative of the many.
Despite all this, some used the news of the offensive chanting last week to tar every Blue with the same brush. It seemed silly at the time given all the evidence pointing to the opposite, and looks even more ridiculous now after what was witnessed inside Old Trafford on Sunday.
