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.

he's right tho, a lot does depend on water chemical composition.

should have him squeezed between them.

he's on question of sport now.
photoshop that!

really? as if i couldn't <3 this guy anymore.

yup, bbc1!

wow, this show is even more boring and corny than I remembered but kudos for the airtime - also they should've listened to him on the what happened next round, he knew what was up

Gah, I only caught the last round and the answers were all cricket or rugger players - not Andrei's strong points I expect, I doubt he even knew what sports were involved.

He did recognise all the footballers he was called upon to recognise. He did also have amusing banter with Sue about not understanding questions, or not wanting to.

haw it's not on iplayer. ya bestirt.

Andrey, are you frightened of bears?

AA:
On the contrary, I like bears.

This is A++ in my book.

This, however, makes me :(

What was it like living in the USSR, and would it make modern Britain a better place? If you plan to lead a communist uprising in the UK, I would gladly help you storm Buckingham Palace.

AA:
Here in England I often catch myself thinking that everything here will be just the same in a hundred years’ time and even after that, everything will be just the way it is now. Don’t change anything, you don’t need any revolutions.

But OTM again:

Hello there! , what would you say your political views are?

AA:
Globally speaking I’m for world peace.

This perhaps contradicts the earlier statement about wanting nothing to change...

Bah, missed this and for some reason it's not on iplayer.

Love this,

Hey Andrey .... This is Jehan here from India. I want to ask you what is the best way to meet you personally in London ??

AA:
What’s the purpose of your question?

Q: Andrey, what girls do you like more:
1) Wearing heels and skirts or;
2) Wearing sneakers and jeans?
A: "It's difficult to spoil a good body with clothes."

andrey otm

when you where 13 was you fast ?

AA:
Yes, and even when I was 7. Fast as a lightning.

These are amazing!

I have registered to ask a question. Anyone got something they'd like to add?

Send him five of the pics upthread!

I already asked him your one about Emmeline Pankhurst but it didn't make the cut. Ask him how he feels about Pav now he's a hated rival. Or about his ideal chick, he seems to like answering those.
