Like many people, Kazakh journalist Peter Volikov thought Andrei Arshavin was all washed up when he arrived at FC Kairat, so he made a bet with the lovable former Russia international: if Arshavin scored eight goals in his first season with the club, he could shave Volikov’s head.
Believe it or not, 35-year-old Andrei Arshavin is still playing football. Though he’s a long way from his days with Arsenal, playing for Kairat in the Kazakhstan Premier League, he’s still got some of the moves that made him a standout performer back at Euro 2008 and he showed this in a match against Taraz.
When Nicklas Bendtner finally left Arsenal last year, it left a void in the club. Who would the other players make fun of? We now know the answer is Nacho Monreal.
Red Bull produced a series of videos based on the premise that Hulk doesn’t know his own incredible strength. In this particular video, Hulk attempts to blow out the candles on a birthday cake, but ends up blowing the whole cake into a teammate’s face. But all of that irrelevant. All that truly matters is our dear Andrei Arshavin’s laugh.
To celebrate winning their fifth Russian Premier League title, Andre Villas-Boas and the Zenit Saint Petersburg players dressed up like old fashion military generals and posed for a rather absurd team photo.
There really isn’t too much more that can be said about this spectacular image other than: Andrei Arshavin looks like an adorable lawn jockey.
