Terminology aside, that opportunity one on one with Howard inside the 6 yard box is one that the old Sergio never would have missed.I've always understood a 'sitter' to be one that falls to a striker inside the goal area with either an open goal gaping or just the goalkeeper to beat. I don't recall that opportunity.
haha only now I know that Arsenal didn't win it! i though the game ended at 2-3 ... you just made my day kind sir!Only saving grace was the Arsenal dropping the two points.
I just think the ref saw that Stirling was going nowhere,stones tried to pull out and Stirling played for a penalty.we shouldn't have to resort to desperate acts like that to gain a victory.We should be able to break teams down and win fair and square.I'm glad the ref called it right and i understand people's frustrations at dropping 2pts.

I keep hearing this but see very little evidence we'll get going.Not read the thread but all I'm glad of/baffled by is how we are still totally in this title race in spite of injuries, ref's incompetence and a huge number of inept performances.
Once we get going we'll walk it!
Have they changed the result then, I thought it finished 3-3 ? or are you not much of a "footballfan" ?Lost chance given Arsenal lost
We could do with using this tactic for corners, we might take a good one.After our players have been blindfolded and span round on the spot for thirty seconds each.

Examining all the evidence for the ref's decision, it would only make sense if he thought that Stones somehow reached a leg around Sterling- without actually touching him- and pushed the ball , which was a good few feet away from him,onto some part of Sterling's anatomy which then forced the ball out for a goal kick and only his follow through from this extraordinary feat of gymnastics caused Sterling to fall over after the ball had gone out of play therefore not qualifying for a yellow card!if it was not a penalty, why was sterling not booked for diving??, either one or the other

Pretty obvious really.
Tarquins?as a city sympathizer but not die hard fan, i rather objectively feel it's gonna go arsenal's way now. can't see them screw up like they usually do. and god knows how i dislike those tarquins.
Could not agree more with you pal. I was ashamed of Otamendi for his play acting antics the other week but Kun would need to be shot several times before going down.+1 bud. It really grates me to hear this shit about 'divers'. Kun is probably the absolute definition of a player who would always rather take a pop at goal than dive. He could easily win us five or six penalties a season if he took the the path of of those with a 'reputation'. Don't ever expect me to laud a player that chooses to go down rather than keep the ball and score. Any supposed City fan that thinks Kun takes the easy way out should hang their head in shame.
tarquins, woolwich rangers, gunners, gooners whatever you want to call themTarquins?
