Arshavin on Bench Against Spurs

Andrei Arshavin - Arshavin on the Bench for First Match Against Spurs

Andrei Arshavin is on the bench for the match against Spurs. This might be a bit of surprise to some pople as it is said he is not totally match fit.

Arshavin has also said that he speaks his mind and says what he thinks :

"I like to speak my mind. It has made me enemies."

"Sometimes I find it hard to hide my dislike of certain people. It may be bad but that's just me."

"I am better sometimes than at other times, but I am always honest."

In my experience Russians are like that anyway, they don't beat about the Bush.

Now for some Russian phrases - If you want to say hello to Mr Arshavin - you say "zdravstvuiyte Andrei Sergeyevitch -kak dyela ?" (Hello Andrei Sergeyevitch - How are you?) to which he may reply "khorosho - spasiba" (Fine - thank you)
