    Shocked

    pretty incriminating stuff

    about England, Wenger and even himself

    Shocked

    the Russian is lucky that none of the English journalists will ever get wind of this interview since they don't read German newspapers , don't speak German and could not be bothered to get any of it translated anyway

    lol!

    phew

    close one for Arsha

    I think he will get away with it

    @kimbo

    why don't you send it to the Sun or the Times and tell them it's incriminating

    then wait a day or two to have them refer to this "dynamite" in their paper

    the Beckett play that was never published

    "Waiting for the Sun..."

    Prey thee, do tell us what is so incriminating old goat?

    Could Arshavin be complaining of the fact that he was an unfit mess for the majority of his games for Arsenal, citing that the stamina to play in the EPL was like nothing he'd experienced before?

    Or is it perhaps something to do with him crying that the higher income tax bracket in England is set at 50%, so he's not earning as much as he could somewhere else?

    Arshavin is a whingeing twat. Whingeing twats whinge. It's not particularly incriminating

    the SCANDAL that has yet to hit the ENGLISH tabloid papers is of LINGUISTIC NATURE

    It's quite easy to understand actually Wink

    1st bit : Do they really speak French at Arsenal ? Yep, that's just the way it is. I'll have to learn French.

    2nd bit : I have never been so proud of being Russian as I am now, compared to here Russia is not that bad looking.

    Translator didn't help much.

    So Arshavin has to speak French at Arsenal,

    and doesn't like living in England.

    that's pretty much what it means

    and it's not a case of BOO HOO

    a Russian like Arshavin comes to London and starts learning English

    but is still lost in the locker-room because THE OFFICIAL language seems to be French

    it IS A SCANDAL affraid

    the question is whether Wenger gives his pep-talks in French as well

    but even if he does not, the ENGLISH speakers seem to be CUT OFF unless they learn French

    now

    we all know that Wenger is not too keen on ENGLISH players

    one reason might be that they have their hands full trying to keep the ball to their feet at high speed

    then again

    what are the odds of Walcott and Co going to the Institut Francais to learn French, just so that they can mingle ?!

    it IS BIG NEWS

    Arshavin also seems to be unimpressed with England or London and calls himself LAZY Biggrin

    Perhaps for a Russian English and French sounds the same. Isn't it that the French language influenced English quite a lot?

    Otto's translations aren't great, nowhere does Arshavin slag off England, he just says the Russian lifestyle suits him better.

    London is a World City, it is not "England" half the people who live/work there are immigrants.

    As for the language, with a French manager and a squad of players with French as a first language it;s understandable that French is spoken in the dressing room. Nowhere does he say it's the OFFICIAL language, he replies "yes" to the question "is French spoken?"

    He also says that he does not rate a single German player apart from Michael Ballack

    lol!

    the language REVELATION is HUGE

    it means the monolingual English are second class players in their own country because they are cut off from the information flow

    this causes GIGANTIC problems

    in the Bundesliga we are more than aware of it

    Friedrich, the Berlin captain, just complained that it was a HUGE problem in the locker-room since the majority of the first teamers were lost linguistically

    Poldi just said the same about the Cologne dressing room

    and van Gaal INSISTS that EVERYBODY speak (or learn) German now

    including Ribery and Toni, because otherwise commuication is impossible

    I have seen it with my own German eyes during training at Bayern

    Toni, Lucio (who claims he speaks German, but clearly does not) don't (did not ) understand a word of the instructions given and just do (did) what they want(ed)

    Walcott is FUCKED

    frankly

    so are the other Brits

    van Persie is DUTCH

    Dutchies are multilingual

    Fabre is Spanish, which means he will learn French very easily

    it should make the Englanders on here FURIOUS

    I'm not furious. For a start, it's not like Capello is forcing the English National team to speak Italian.

    This is Arsenal, where the majority of the first team speak French anyway.

    If Wenger chooses to allow this, so be it - their problem, not ours. Especially when the 6+5 rule comes into force. The more problems at Arsenal, the better as far as I'm concerned.

    The trouble with you Otto is that you are far too Nationalistic -

    yes you would be furious if a German Team forced their players to speak Turkish or Chinese,

    but that is because you support every German Team there is,

    and in your eyes the termination of all other languages and nations other than the German one would be a positive step forward for humanity. Don't deny it.

    I would gladly see Arsenal self implode. Long may continue to pretend to be Gallic. They stopped being an English club a long time ago

    Otto,
     
    I'm more interested in hearing more of your outlandish observations,
     
    like the one you made 2 years ago declaring that Wayne Rooney was washed up at 21 and that Podolski was going to be the biggest star in World Football both on and off the field.
     
    Or observations like England not being in the top 20 nations in World football, and that we were all blaming Mclaren when infact nobody could have done much with the English team. You predicted Capello would end up in the same boat as proof.
     
    These are the things I pay (in terms of my time) to hear you say, and then go exceptionally quiet on, or rattle off a well rehearsed excuse.
     
    Forget about Arsenal, I want to hear more Otto FACTS!

    This is ridiculous. French is spoken but by no means is it the first language. People are entitled to have their own opinions on Arsenal and whatever but at least get the facts rights.

    As far as the home grown rules go you should know that we have numerous and will be more than covered. In case you didn't know the likes of Cesc, Clichy, Djourou, Bendtner are all classed as home grown.

    and in your eyes the termination of all other languages and nations other than the German one would be a positive step forward for humanity. Don't deny it.

    I would gladly see Arsenal self implode. Long may continue to pretend to be Gallic. They stopped being an English club a long time ago

    This is ridiculous. French is spoken but by no means is it the first language. People are entitled to have their own opinions on Arsenal and whatever but at least get the facts rights.

    As far as the home grown rules go you should know that we have numerous and will be more than covered. In case you didn't know the likes of Cesc, Cesc, Djourou, Bendtner are all classed as home grown.

    Yeah you're covered if you use the ones that qualify twice.

    Vast majority of Arsenal first team players are very fluent English speakers - Clichy is far more eloquent than Wilshere who's looked a bit tongue-tied in the interviews I've seen, for example, though it has more to do with his age. The ones who aren't are Nasri (who understands everything he is asked perfectly well but answers back in French. Pires was the same), Vela and Eduardo.

    As for Arshavin, I think both him and his wife have said in the past that they think London is a boring s***hole. So what's new?
