There were even moaners in the 30's, when we were winning the league every year. There's nothing 'toxic' about where I sit, or where I used to sit. Doubtless there are some nests of discontent around the ground, and some particularly negative individuals, but sometimes I wonder if people just like to moan about the moaning as part of a 'it were better in my day' routine.
