And the Fulham game the Referee gave them a penalty in a tight scoreline, plus denied giving Fulham a stonewall penalty with Kyle Walker hugging the opposition player, which might've made the game finish 2-2

Look I'm not denying that Man City are a great team, heck taking advantage of these situations being handed to them probably highlights that to some extent, but especially in that Arsenal game I honestly believe that Man City didn't really do much because in fairness they didn't have to.
Arsenal were making those passes because they had no other choice, because city forced them to play that way. Teams don't suddenly become bad when they meet superior opposition. Arsenal were completely outplayed by superior opposition

and you can moan about ref decisions till the cows come home. It's how it has always been
