It was a penalty and should've been a red card for Monreal. You can also thank the ref for not awarding a first half penalty when Sterling was pushed when had a great chance to score by your left back. A penalty and red card as well.

They were better but the ref made sure we had no chance.

By not awarding the penalty when Sterling was pushed you mean?

Have you ever watched football? I mean a whole game?

Completely understand the feeling on the third goal (although I do think we would have upped our game and scored it regardless, but it was a momentum killer for you).

The penalty certainly wasn't a dive as Wenger was suggesting though, as Sterling did get in front of Monreal, it was whether the referee deemed it a coming together or not.

I don't think we played as well as we have done recently and still should have scored a couple in the first half. For Arsenal, I thought you were good in patches but your final ball was a bit off and Ozil wasn't at the races today at all. Bit surpised he didn't start Lacazette.

I’ve never seen a more paranoid fan base than City’s

They are incredible

Yes, many times, but it appears you have not. It also appears you are struggling with the use of English on this occasion. Where did you answer the question regarding the push on Sterling that was not given as a penalty but clearly should have been?

Paranoid about what exactly, it’s Wenger having a go at the refs.

Suprised he saw the game he never usually does 😂

I know Lamcam and LQ are wumming and personally,I feel sorry for Arsenal fans and Arsene Wenger.

Wuming what?

Stone wall penalty given one not given.

No that wasn't stonewall and football is a contact sport.

As an impartial observer. The Sterling one was a penalty. The Monreal one was a penalty. Silva was clearly offside, but more the linesman's fault than the referee's. Wenger is paranoid. I bet he believes in lizards controlling humanity.

Arsenal deserved to lose. City were much better

City had 9 shots, we had 6
City had 5 shots on target we had 3
City had 58% possession

When United beat spurs last week they had almost identical stats to us. Same as united vs Liverpool at anfield when they got the draw. Sams as spurs against Madrid at bernebau and against dortmund. Watford against us. No one said these teams didn't deserve to win despite having far less shots and possession.

In fact, when any big game where a strong team is at home, if they lose or draw against their away opponent you can guarantee the strong home team will have had more shots and possession. There is no such thing as "you have to dominate a strong team when you play them away from home" it is something that has been created just for arsenal once again. Just like the years without a trophy media hype.

Well said Godfather.

Ref got the penalty spot-on. Third goal was clear offside. But we are a sheet team with a sheet manager and sheet owner and we got what we deserved. It shd have been much worse

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The offside was bizarre. Everyone in that stadium was waiting for a flag, it looked that obvious.

Even David Silva seemed to go for the ball expecting the flag to go up.

As it turned out his leading leg was about a foot offside. Given the position of the incident and the perfect positioning of the official, I don't see how he can't see it.

Some go for you, some don't. C'est la vie!
