Thank fuck for that. Perhaps we can now go back to our dull and mundane lives thanks to the news that my new favourite Russian ever has signed for the Arse. It took a while in coming with a lot of turds being thrown in all directions to confuse us but once dodging that Arshavin wanted to sign for us, we wanted him, and Zenit wanted to irritate everyone. Arsenal.com spoke to Jonathan Wilson, an Eastern Europe expert: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/-arshavin-really-is-a-very-special-talent. The interesting points for me are that the Russian national team have a simliar style to us, pushing their full backs forward and playing with pace so he should fit in well and that he may not be fully ready to play for a while due to the Russian season having been ended for a while now. On a side note it seems like he is Andrey rather than Andrei.

Apart from the obvious there's not much else so that's it for today.
