Arshavin hates smokers, especially women ones!

“Hey woman, don’t let Arshavin see you with that!”

 

Site regulars will already be well aware of the fondness attached to a decent footballer blog. Vassell has long since set the benchmark for what can be achieved when a sportsman turns his soul inside out for the world to see. It’s poignant, and quite beautiful.

But, he’s in danger of being usurped by Andrey Arshavin – the dinky little fashion designer who plays for Arsenal – who has opened himself up to all kinds of bizarre and intrusive questions from his fans. Here’s a little flavour from a recent post:

3. From IFFA
Andrey, what meaning do you put in the word ” a friend”?

Arshavin: I think that I can call those people friends who are around not only when everything is fine, but also when it’s hard. “A friend in need is a friend indeed”

14. From Vitas
Andrey, what do you think about smoking. Do you smoke? If not, have you ever tried to?
Thank you and good luck!

Arshavin: When I was 15 or 16 years old I tried it. I do not smoke and I don’t approve of smoking especially by women.

20. From Ibrox

Andrey, have you watched “The Lost”?

Arshavin: No

Great stuff.
