Arsenal star bans his WAG from criticising England

Andrei Arshavin’s childlike wife Julia didn’t get of to the best of starts on these shores, when she claimed English people were “too reserved”, the food was rubbish and the country was “dull”.

Since these indiscreet comments, the Arsenal star has transformed the nation’s opinion of his Russian WAG. Did he do this by posing for fun family photos in wardrobes? Did he mastermind the kind of PR charm offensive that transformed Cheryl Cole from a toilet attendant-punching racist to the nation’s sweetheart? Nope, he maintained his ‘traditional‘ view of women and demanded that she hush her gums:

“I’ve prohibited her from complaining about life in England. Since then, there have been no more criticisms.”

Spoiler bonus: Here are the Arshavins posing for Russian Hello magazine, and here they are in personal photos the Meerkat-alike posted to his website.

The partner of the Prem’s biggest misogynist

When Andrei Arshavin wheezed his way over to England in January, he brought three things from his Russian homeland: his fierce fashion sense, his passion for pulling sex faces and his ‘wife’, Julia Arshavin.

We say ‘wife’ in inverted commas, as the couple are in fact not married, but the 28-year-old Arsenal star refers to her as his spouse anyway. It’s a bit like us saying Stan Collymore is our ‘friend’ because we follow him on Twitter. Well, we would follow him if he accepted our request. The grumpy so and so.

Serbian’s wife wants to leave rain and “joyless fans” behind

Back in March, Nemanja Vidic rubbished rumours of a move away from stinky rainy Manchester to beautiful and not-at-all-dull-and-industrial Milan. “He loves it in Manchester and will stay put,” reasoned his agent.

However, Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo are today claiming that Vidic, via a person he trusts, has “offered himself” to Barcelona. Furthermore, the article states that Vidic has made Manchester Utd aware of his desire to leave.

Mundo claim the transfer request comes on the insistence of his wife Ana Ivanovic, who is, sadly, no relation to the hot tennis player. Apparently, she no longer wants to put up with the “inhospitable climate” of Manchester, and seeks a sunnier home in Italy or Spain.

Vidic, under contract until 2012, would probably cost the Catalan giants around £30m.

An Italian WAG who isn’t naked on the net? Surely some mistake?

As WAG of the Day fans will already know, all Italian WAGs are stunning clothes dodgers who pose for risque calendars, perform as ’showgirls’ on TV end eventually get boffed by Pippo Inzaghi. Tamara De Rossi, however, is the sexy excpetion that proves the rule: search as hard as you like, but you will find no NSFW snaps of Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi’s strait-laced wife…

Say Guten Tag to a Bundesliga beauty queen

Schalke midfielder Jermaine Jones earned himself a ‘teen idol’ image while breaking through the ranks of Germany’s U21 squad, and accordingly attracted the right type of “Mädchen”. In 2007 he married Sarah Gerth, who reigned as ‘Misses Germany’ in 2005 and 2006. Sarah recently showed her commitment to Jones in a typically Waggish way - she had a ‘J’ tattooed on her lower arm. Aww.

The wife Brazilian Ronaldo should have held onto

We at The Spoiler have showcased Maria Beatriz Antony, Daniela Cicarelli and Raica Oliveira for your consideration, and today we presented the first piece in Ronaldo’s sexy lady puzzle.

In 1999, the tubby Brazilian spotted Milene Domingues on TV, and he promptly proposed to her. Despite his unusual looks and the fame she had achieved in her own right (she is a female footballer who holds the ‘ball juggling’ record for keeping a football off the ground with 55,198 touches), she said yes and the couple were married for four years.

And that’s why you don’t sleep with your boss’ wife

A former Premier League player is said to have slept with another man’s wife. Unfortunately for the player, that man is also the manager of his national team (unlike England, one that actually wins things sometimes).

Said gaffer found out about the sexy rendezvous, and was so incensed that the player has not been picked for the squad since, despite his excellent form at his current club.
