I WANT THAT SHIRT!

holy shit me too

Would like to see a movie where that image is key.

remake of "Jason & The Argonauts" except have that shirt instead of the golden fleece

I want that tongue not to be grey.

surely some type of beowulf/ring saga is a better fit for a troll faced wolfboy. the germans really know how to work that shit into a cautionary morality tale.

I can't think of a good arshavin slogan for that David Cameron poster everyone has been photoshopping. Can someone help?

“Russia can be a very chauvinistic society, There is a saying: “A chicken is not a bird, and a woman is not a person”

The magic:

In this bit for last weekend's episode of Soccer AM, the little Russian talked about his Arsenal teammates. And while I couldn't understand a good 90 percent of it, I loved every second. Here's a rundown of some of Arshavin's finer points:

-Sol Campbell is "double like me" or, twice the size of Andrei. Which is funny because it's true.

-Cesc Fabregas is slow and Andrei won't let him forget it.

-Mikael Silvestre "looks smart and clever," but is he? Who knows.

-Sol Campbell will not succumb to initiation rituals.

-Andrei says he has the worst taste in music because he's the only one who doesn't have an iPod. A line of logic that follows neatly with his anti-Blackberry stance, because who is he going to email? Bendtner? "How are you?" Hahaha our technology is beneath him.

-Bendtner is also awful at dressing himself.

-Emmanuel Eboue and Bacary Sagna dance naked in the dressing room. Which Andrei finds hilarious.

-He didn't want to say who takes the longest in the shower, but ... it's Jack Wilshere. His hesitation makes it sound weird. Probably best to stop there.

Once again, if Andrei Arshavin had his own television channel, I would watch it until my eyes bleed.

Eboue was jokes.

Think he misunderstood the "who's longest in the shower" question.

yeah he thought they meant who had the biggest cock

Think he misunderstood the "who's longest in the shower" question

as did robbie keane, in fairness. his answer was about michael dawson spending ages on his hair.

who's longest in the grower though?

Pffffff. That took ages to load - as always with this thread, I was on the edge of my seat. It was totally worth it.

Hi, Andrey! Some people say that the rain comes when the angels cry; some people say that it is a natural process. What do you think? Do you like rain?? Hi to Julia and the kids !!!!!
Arshavin: No, I do not think that it’s angels’ tears. It's simply a natural phenomenon. Although it sounds more romantic the way you put it.

an amazing dude

Andrei knows. He just knows.

3. From aniram
Hi, do you like horses? Have you ever ridden them? If not, do you want to try? If you want to ask me something, feel free to do it :)
Arshavin: Actually, I once rode a horse bareback in the village. It was very slippery, I was a small boy then, I was barely holding its mane when suddenly it bolted and I almost fell into a pile of manure. After that, I never sat on the horse again.

11. From chesnaj
Andrey, would you like to take part in some TV show? (For example “Dancing on Ice”)?
Arshavin: If I took part in this show, it should be renamed “A Cow on Ice".

Daily Mail takes a pop at Yulia

I was a small boy then

Shall I do my "Was this the other week, or last year?" joke now?

Where are these Q&As coming from? I have so many questions...

'Question: What do you think of ideological anarchism?

'Arshavin: In order to give you an exhaustive explanation, I should thoroughly study this subject. So far I can't say anything.'

The photo section is a joy

impossible not to like this guy

Can A.A. jump out of my birthday cake?
Arshavin: It’s unlikely; I'm a football player, not a minstrel or a clown.

worth noting that he does not deny being a stripper.

<3 that this guy obv runs his own website

aw, the cute little birthday poem he wrote for his wife on the Russian version of his site

babelfish-type translators gave me this:

springtime for Yana today:
sunshine, warmth!
let your heart be filled with joy.
there will be many gifts
on this April day.
and in my baby girl's soul
may the lilac always bloom!

<3 indeed, Andrey

It's sad that he can write such a beautiful poem to yana, yet to bentner he can only manage to email "how are you"

He's on next Friday's Question of Sport. One for the iplayer. I'm guessing he won't do a lot and will disappear halfway through the show.

this thread needs more photoshopping.

Not on form this week:

Do you use hair gel??? If you do what type do you use?? What's your favorite hairstyle??? I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ your hair?

AA:
I don’t have an ad contract with any hair gel producer. I use water before the game. A lot depends on water chemical composition.

That said, on page 2:

Hi Andrey! I just wanted to ask, if your daughter decided that her dream was to play professional football, would you encourage/support her in this?

AA:
I hope it will never happen.
