Arsenal star shows his London lifestyle to the folks back home
After revealing his fancy London pad and fabulous fashion sensibilities via amateur photos on his official website, Andrei Arshavin has taken things a step further by posing for a cover feature in the Russian version of Hello! Magazine.
The Spoiler can’t think of many other footballers who would happily sell pictures of their young children to be put on the front of a glossy magazine, but things are very different in Russia. They put the letter ‘R’ backwards for one thing. Seriously, they do. It’s mental.
According to our friends at ONTD, Andrei tells Hello! about his nice neighbours and his relative anonymity in London - he and wife Julia can walk around London undisturbed, something that would cause a frenzy in Saint Petersburg.
Arshavin also spills the beans on his love of condensed milk (a dairy affinity he shares with his son) and his friendship with Roman Pavlyuchenko. Fortunately, he manages to restrain himself from letting any more of his trademark overt misogyny slip out.
For more pictures of the babyfaced star, his equally childlike wife and nipper Artyom, click ‘Read More’. Our personal favourite is the charming snap of the family sitting in a wardrobe, wishing they owned a couch…

“They put the letter ‘R’ backwards for one thing. Seriously, they do. It’s mental.”
In russian language it means I. It writes “Я” (ya).
You don’t know russian language and write stupid things…

In my opinion it is you have something in mind. You do the letter “Я” write the other way around.

Leon,English and Russian languages are different. And your letter “R” is our letter “P”.Also we have letter “Я”,that isn’t similar on your “R”.They are have diffirent pronunciation. Я is “ya”,R is “r”

although it sounds quite ignorant for a Russian, it is a joke.
Some people take it seriously and get offended, I’m amused at people coming to this website and saying “this is wrong” “stupid website”, do u all have gun at ur head when coming here? I doubt anyone comes to ur home and bitches how everything is wrong and stupid.
End of lil’ rant :p

Ok.I’m sorry,I had thought that you are stupid Englishman… And don’t know elementary things…

Gleb, for English people what u said isn’t “elementary things”. It is an elementary thing for u coz ur first language is Russian (I assume that from ur name).
