(For those who missed my brief appearance as Parlour's Annual Hat-trick on 606)
The following is an interview given by Andrey Arshavin to everyone's favourite pundit, Garth Crooks, discussing his recent move to Arsenal.
Garth: Hello Andrey, your name is the equivalent of the British name Andrew.
Arshavin: Erm...ok.
Garth: Having recently moved from Zenit St Petersburg which is a Russian team to Arsenal in England there will have been many cultural differences you've had to face. The language barrier, the food, the people you meet all of these are very different to your native country.
Arshavin: Erm...also in my country our interviewers ask questions rather than make statements.
Garth: As a player I found that foreigners often struggled to adapt to the pace of English football. You have also said this has been the biggest challenge for you. Which shows that we as footballers are on the same wavelength, because I believe deep down all footballers are the same.
Arshavin: Erm...I'm sorry are you interviewing me our just stating your views on football?
Garth: Interviewing obviously. My style is somewhat different to your average pundit. I'm more erudite, more verbose, better educated, I am in short an football intellectual.
Arshavin: Did you play football?
Garth: Yes. For Tottenham.
Arshavin: Ah I see.
Garth: So cultural differences in football...
Arshavin: I have noticed in England that all the players wear boxer shorts, in Russia we never do this.
Garth: Why not?
Arshavin: Chernobyl fallout.

I have a dilemna. I was going to post on 606 for advice but I though ahh fuck it.
I have been invited to a conferencethrough work that is taking place at our beloved Emirates and which could help my career.
However, the conference falls in the middle of a 10 day stretch I have booked off work to spend with a lady friend (and yes she DOES still have a pulse)
She has pulse? Trigg you're a wrong 'un.
I once went to a course at Stamford Bridge, the place was shit but the food was good. I personally would go to the conference, 10 days with a woman you're bound to need a bit of time off.
