It's madness. Makes me wanna stop following the sport, it's become like Basketball ffs.
Didn't see it, but depends how you do it. Shoulder-to-shoulder contact isn't automatically legal
WHO GIVES A feck! I AM FED UP WITH ARSENAL!
Yup. arsenal don't have the mentality or discipline to get something out of a situation like this.
Fiorentina/Roma is decent.
It's shoulder to shoulder. If that's a pen then football is a total non-contact sport.It's a clear pen what are you lot on about
If that's Mikhtaryan in that situation we'd all want a pen.
The same kind of shoulder barge was not called last week. These PL refs need to be more consistent.
Clear penalty. Sterling won the duel and Monreal brought him down. Defenders really need to learn to not be so reckless in the box.
The questionable pen came from a questionable FK that stopped a very promising counter-attack. 
Harsh decision that.
How flat is that atmosphere? Jesus. City fans acting as if they've just slotted in the 7th against Oxford United in the FA Cup, not taken a 2-0 lead at home aainst Arsenal
Clever from Sterling, that's what I can say.
Arsenal were never gonna win this. They aren't versatile enough in the big games.
Easy call, player didn't look to play the ball at all and takes Sterling down
You wouldn't say this if it was a Utd pen.
Basically i would have preferred an Arsenal win or draw. But failing that a drumming would be the next best thing jsut for AsnlFanTV
Things like my crack

Watching it
Just saw the replay, clear shoulder, wrong decision.
Yep, I had just written 'weak call' in reference to the freekick and by the time I posted it looked like I was talking about the penalty. Feck off OliverThe questionable pen came from a questionable FK that stopped a very promising counter-attack.
All Barca fans saying it's penalty. 
Xhaka
Is it actually possible for City to maintain this form over the course of the season? Have a feeling their time will come.
Nope, but they're both as close to the ball as the other, it's not excessive force and he doesn't come through his back. I don't see how it could be a penalty.. If it is, then no tackles are allowed anymore.
He didn't have to, Sterling overcommitted and he just needed to shield him away until Cech collects it.
That's at least the 4th goal in the league this season that good refereeing would have stopped. Seems like a lot in only 11 games.
Since when has shoulder to shoulder constituted as a "clear penalty"??
They were wide open there again.
They are going to get thumped.
They are going to get thumped.
No usually when teams go on long unbeaten runs and lose, they have a little wobble.
Think December will be the testing month for them. Still, they should win league at a canter.
More City fans in Manchester bruv
City are looking impervious. Liverpool, Chelsea now Arsenal. Is there any team that can stop them? I don't think even United can do that right now the way City are playing.
It's a clear pen what are you lot on about
If that's Mikhtaryan in that situation we'd all want a pen.
Whether we'd want it or not is irrelevant. It was a clear shoulder charge. Not a foul
All Barca fans saying it's penalty.
All Barca fans saying it's penalty.
ESPN commentator from the game I'm watching says it's a clear pen as well. Some of you guys really need to learn the rules better, and maybe then we wouldn't have these discussions.
I would. But since you think you're a psychic, would you be so kind and give me next week's lottery numbers?
Pen incident - Aguero from the spot 2:0
Christ Xhaka
It was shoulder to shoulder although Monreal went in a bit strong. Soft penalty.
It is really stupid thing when refs make decisions based on players weight. If zlatan or giroud were on sterlings place it would be all clear. But when small players fall down, it is always a foul. Stupid
