Yeah, I'm not going to be super annoyed about it since it was a wussy throw, but making contact with Arteta's handsome face and making weak contact with his torso have similar intent so I'm surprised that the FA has chosen to take no action (...). I'm reminded of something like the Gervinho on Joey Barton incident last season, where the force of the blow didn't mitigate the punishment the player got. Keown was pretty spineless about it on MOTD, firstly implying that Arteta didn't win the ball cleanly and then saying Owen did nothing. Maybe if someone who wasn't a regular pundit on the show had done it, he might have said something different.
