I wonder what Man City fans sitting at home might be thinking about that Rooney penalty after not getting the clear one after the foul on Balotelli...
Balotelli one , well first the foul leading to that action should had gone ajax way and then Balotelli was holding ajax shirt trying to keep him away in same time as the other was holding his shirt .. was 50-50 .. you need to look to the front view not the back one to see it clearly please log in to view this image

Looks like he got the ball to me, and to 101great goals. Why does he never get criticised for diving? http://www.101greatgoals.com/gvideos/gif-did-wayne-rooney-dive-to-win-a-penalty-v-braga/
Come on lets not detract from the point in question, Shwan isnt English I don't think. Im interested in actual figures and video evidence, Ive only just seen that Rooney one but it looks like (if not a dive) that the defender got the ball to me. The City Balotelli one I havent found a decent video yet so cant say.
ok i added to previous stats and included 2011/2012 and 2012- PL season so far here is penalty decisions in past 10.5 seasons Chelsea........54 MAN UTD.......53 Arsenal ........52 Liverpool.......51 MAN CITY.......47
http://www.myfootballfacts.com/Premier_League_Penalty_Statistics.html Here is a more balanced and fair representation of the statistics. It also only dates back to 03/04. I would encourage you to look at the difference between penalties awarded and those given. I think you will find they make interesting reading.
