Swings and roundabouts with officials' decisions. Often tinged with bias depending on the team you support.
I thought it was a pen and I thought it was handball but that's what I thought and the ref thought differently.

The thing is that Sterling couldn't have gone down, it really wasn't enough to knock him off balance enough to go down so if he'd have gone down it would have looked ridiculous, like Tom Daley's finest.
I'm with Poch give one give both, don't give one don't either.

Nailed on, one hundred percent, as certain as day follows night penalty.

Come on Poch it was a penalty all day long. As much as I was glad it wasn't given that is not going to cloud my judgement on the obvious, it was a penalty and a straight red, we got away with it, and Walker has escaped a ban. It's not often decisions go our way against the so called sky 4 and it's not often we go 2-0 down away at a top 4/5 team's place and get something out of the game, that said even, when we get odd lucky break which is once in a blue moon ( an ironic pun given it way City) Arsenal nearly always seem to get luckier breaks than us, an they seem to get luckier breaks much more frequently than we do. Look at the facts, we get out of jail and snatch a point, they get of jail and gain two, that's the Sod's law that has been with us for as long as I've been a Spurs fan and that goes back to the early / mid seventies...

spouse he did' but if he had been more alive to the run it need not have come to all this. Anyone know whether sterling was off or not when it was played?

Yeah Def. Sterling's reaction was an odd one though. Looked like two mates being funny in training and he looked like he wanted to laugh.

It should make you laugh, because it was a joke.
Offside, but it doesn't fit with the BT Sport/MOTD narrative and so passed off as just an alternative truth. The same goes for Sané's handball: he made a movement that helped to control the ball, but we should pass over that.
Sterling spent most of the match with a bewildered look on his face, as if someone had just told him that Santa didn't exist.
