A few quick notes:
1) Law 9, Ball in and out of play. It´s really pretty easy. Whole ball, whole line. Would the FA mind actually having their officials read it? Stuart Attwell telling Arteta to move the corner kick, when the ball was clearly over the arc is an absolute disgrace. Seriously, is Sian Massey the only official in England that has actually read the Law? It even comes with pictures if you don´t understand one-syllable words.
2) Arsenal and Swansea are evenly matched, and Mertesacker and Arteta are the best Arsenal players by some margin. Arsenal was destined for a relegation fight without the 31 August panic buys.
3) You cannot lose focus for even a moment in the Premiership, even against a mediocre team. Vorm´s moment of madness and Rangel´s lack of concentration may be the loss of points that send Swansea back to the Championship in eight months time.
4) Walcott is crap.
5) Walcott is really, really crap. And he doesn´t understand that it´s not the officials' fault when he dribbles with his head down and is tackled. If he was a better finisher, he could be a threat in the Championship. As it is, he is a League Two left winger, provided you have a good left back behind him for defensive cover. Walcott to Crawley is actually a pretty good match, though Crawley´s ambitions are greater than Walcott´s play.
